I was in Vegas and took time out from losing money to putting my
quarters to good use.
I went to the new location. I took a cab from Plant Hollywood and it
cost $12. Unfortunately due to traffic the ride took $22 on the way
back (I was also going to the North end of the strip). I took a few
pictures which are at the link above. He had a lot of the "Good"
games and new games set up. I got to play the ones that seem to be on
the top 10. Cactus Canyon, Scared Stiff, Midevil Madness, 24, Theater
of Magic, Monster Bash, plus a few others that I can not think of
right now. I would say, out of all of them, I liked TOM the best.
Maybe some day I'll part with my Whitewater and step up.

I thought the place was quite crowded for 1:00 on a Tuesday. I did go
to the old place (by bus!) and was the only one there on a weekday.
As you can see, there is a lot of room to get more machine in there.
I know that there is some riff about this place, but for someone like
me that does not have access to a lot of machines, this place was
great.

I'll go back but next time I'll walk or take the bus.

Pretty cool that Tim left the old signage from Procida Tile and We
Gotcha Covered floor coverings in the windows. Before he bought the
building, it was divided into two halves. with two different flooring
businesses.

I never realized that I did not take pictures of the outside.
Actually I forgot to take pictures, then realized that I brought the
little camera and took a few quick.
Sorry I did not take more.
I thought it was odd that nobody took a razor blade to the windows.
That being said, I was playing some games along the windows and the
light was pretty bright. I hope that he blacks all of them out.

Three exterior photos I took last year. On the day after Tim closed on
the purchase of the building. Still looks the same on the outside.
Way better on the inside. I'll try to snap some new photos in a few
days.

Also, if you do take a taxi.... even though I gave them the address
AND told them that it is the new location when they asked for the
business name, they still went to the old place.
I would give them the name of the camera store next door for a year or
so!

Wow - talk about night and day compared to the old place...

Very cool. I'm really bummed now that I never made it over there when
I was there on moving weekend.

Did you get to meet Tim in person? I would like to meet him someday.
Of course I never go anywhere, so the odds are slim. :-)
