As a pinball owner you just filmed what I call a Disneyland trip. Thank you so much for being so different than all the rest of the youtubers that never diversify there road trips. I thank God that you are not one of those for example "Disney attractions" forever youtubers, one can only watch so much of that and with your channel you always mix it up.
*cough*..Tim Tracker....😂
You got that right!
My favorite video of the CapetBagger D:
one of my favorite places to visit last time I was in Vegas ! and I heard that they were moving to a brand new building at the south end of the strip? supposed to have a lot more room than the old building?
@@SirManfly Yes the shutdown/lack of projected income almost stopped the move/project from getting completed but they raised $250k on gofundme and someone came through with $80k at the last minute to save it. This would've ceased to exist altogether otherwise
As a big pinball fan and having 14 machines in my own personal bank , I visit Vegas about 3 times a year and stop by the Pinball Museum and spend a couple of hours and spend a few bucks there rather than the casinos. Much of the money goes to the Salvation Army which is cool .
Pinball machines still excite me, although I'm 52(I guess I'm still reliving a part of my childhood).In 2017,my mom and I went to Bally's in Las Vegas and I was like a kid in a candy store!May the pinball machine never fade into obscurity.
Just absolutely fawking incredibly fun looking...🤗 I'd love to spend a day having fun with these magnificent old machines...💯✔
Been there a couple times when I visited from Orange County CA and I LOVE THAT PLACE!!!!
Pinball Hall of Fame!! I LOVE that place! They have many machines from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, and now.
Jacob's gonna start a second channel now, 'The Capetbagger" Hahaha, great video, really cool place
Its his Boston accent. cahhhhpetbaggahhh
I caught that too...lol.. that and "Capt. Fantasy" instead of capt. fantastic
I was going along and was like, I guess he isn't going to put carpetbager. So captain? Then went the e, so Cape?
The inventiveness of these machines are still Amazing and always fun to play!
This really takes me back. I remember the days when, if went to an Arcade it was all pinball, claw machines, and shooting galleries. Not to mention the Mold-O-Romas, they used to be everywhere, and I scooped ever one I could get my grubby little hands on. I'm sending a great big virtual hug to you Jacob. You are a man after my own heart.
How many mold-o-romas do you own?
@@lobbymccawker2083 Sadly, the majority of my collection was lost to mists of time, and the vagaries of fate. I still have one left though.
Great place I love to visit every time I go to Las Vegas. Thanks for posting this.
This is a great video and fun pin ball machine
I have been there several times and can't wait to go to the new location!
I went there about 5 years ago while in town for business. I love this place. I mostly played pinball. Thank you for hitting all of the really old classics
The guy that owns it sits in the back in the shop area.
The gator whacking game was a classic at Chuck E Cheese, I loved that game as a kid. I'm surprised it was functioning as you have to hit it with your hands.
You didn't have to hit it with your hands, you just scored more points that way. It had a giant mallet attached that you were actually supposed to use.
@@kaseythekannibal mine was located in southern California in the 90's, and I think it had a mallet in the beginning, then someone probably stole it or broke it. But without the mallet me and my siblings could play together to get more points lol
@@colleenschwab Ours was chained to the machine but I still used both hands to slap those gators so I could get more tickets.
I will most definitely go to this attraction next time I go to Vegas!
We should have a national "talk like Zoltar" day. "Argh, Tahday ees yur locky day, my frien'!"
I'd sign that petition.
Thanks for the memories - my childhood involved playing most of the machines from 1960 to 1980.
So glad you went to the PHOF! We went on our honeymoon and it was one of my favorite parts of Vegas. A few years after going we went from 0 pins to 9! It was inspiring for sure! Can't wait to go back when the new place opens on the strip!
This is literally the only reason I want to go to Las Vegas.
One of the best places in Vegas!
Another great video from the Capetbagger!
I have heard that the owner is an incredibly good guy. Apparently people come from all over to stay in Vegas and learn how to fix pinball machines from him. I definitely hope to visit some day!
I’ve been to Vegas twice from Western Australia, and this is my reason for going to Las Vegas instead of elsewhere. When we can travel again, I want to go there again. Can’t wait.
The pinball machine museum. I got to see one of these from nightmare on elm street. And I heard freddy say
I'll break your fingers next time! To some kid . Scared the crap outta me.
Awsome place awsome video
Carpetbagger did it again
A Toms' snack machine that dispenses masks... Too funny. The Toms machine with cards and stickers was cool. I love pinball, this was an amazing collection of arcade machines.Disney Mold-A-Rama machines! I love Pluto, what a great souvenir☺🎆
Entrepreneurism at its best. People have to wear masks and someone has to pay for them so make some money while you can.
Last time I was there they had Dolald Duck
@@bryonyamada2620 Oh, Donald is cute too☺
Way back when I was a little kid, My Uncle Claudy (R.I.P.) in Mississippi had a gig driving a Toms truck. One summer vacay day while my folks & I were visiting, he came home from wk & gave us each of us (my cousins & I) a bag of Bugles to snack on - 1st time I ever ate Bugles.
@@TheSWolfe cool... I always liked bugles
Me and my aunt went here back in August. They had moved the location from Tropicana to up on the Strip. Its down from the welcome to Vegas sign now/by Harley Davidson's. Its a really cool place and I enjoyed it a lot.
I go here every time I go to Vegas. It’s awesome!
Thank you SO MUCH for highlighting this fantastic place! After I moved to Vegas from Milwaukee in 1998, I discovered the PHOF at their original location (farther East on Tropicana). They then moved to the current location. Although COVID hit them hard with the restrictions, they'll be moving soon to their new location on S. Las Vegas Blvd...way more space, way more games! Las Vegas has so little history, always changing. I'm so happy to see PHOL preserving simpler times.
i made my first visit to the HOF in 2007, when they were at that strip mall further east. i have been there many times since, and i live in Minneapolis. oh how i would love to have the HOF access you have.
@@VegasInsight the new building will be 28,000 sq. feet! 3x the current space (which is larger than the first location at that strip mall). Looking forward to the new location!
Definitely a place on my to visit list now.
This place is on my list since a while, maybe we ll visit this museum next year🤞🤞🤞 Thx Jacob, it s a pretty cool video❤️❤️
Glad you got to cover this on your trip, one of my favorite places in Vegas.
Awesome! I’ve always wanted to go there. Thank you.
Going to Vegas in January 2022 mainly to visit Bagan's Haunted Museum but found Carpetbagger and this video while doing research for the trip. Fan now. Wife bought me a Carpetbagger t-shirt for an early birthday present. Plan on wearing when we go play pinball. Rediscovered my passion for pinball when I turned 50. Got a Lost World pinball machine when I turned 13 and played it all through my teens. My favorite pinball machines that I found locally are Led Zeppelin, ACDC, and Aerosmith... some of my favorite bands as well. Keep up the good work Carpetbagger.
During the pandemic, I appreciate you even more
Now this is my kind of attraction! I would definitely be trying out those machines! Thank you so much for this video! Safe travels my Friend!👍👍👍👍👍🕶🕶🕶🚗🚗🚗
They also have 2 Extremely rare machines you can play, if they are working. A Stand-up version and Going Nuts (Only 5 working prototypes were ever made).
This looks like a bucket list destination! Probably will go once this whole thing blows over
I haven't played pinball since last March! Looking forward to getting back out there again. Neat games, thanks for the video!
Wow, I'm glad that place is still in business. I remember playing the Dr. Who pinball there several years ago.
From my experience, I think all the locals know of and visit this place, regularly. Good thing, too. As they never seem to do much for promotions. (As far as I can tell.) When I originally sought this place out, it was off some 'Gotta see this' web site chatter that led to an old, abandoned building. Which held a clue that led to a clue that wound up here. As if they don't want the tourism.
they may not "promote" the HOF, but they get tons of tourists visiting, and it's not a secret. and they're not moving to the strip later this year because they don't want the tourism.
Im glad you made the trip to pineball mecha on the west. Not to many classic arcades left all being bought up for elite bunkers so sad!!$
Watching all of these videos from Las Vegas, I didn't realize there were so many things I had never seen there.
I love pinball machines. I guess it was because not allowed to play them as a child. I would always stand and watch others play when Dad took me into the shop with him. Sometimes I would sneek in and play a game . I especially love the older games and how inventive they were, like your baseball one. They are very cool. Thanks loved the video. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Loved this place when we visited. I'm so glad your enjoyed it!
Carpetbagger I always make sure the pinball halll of fame is on my to do list when I visit Vegas and talk about going back to the 70’s or 80’s when there were neighborhood arcades everywhere! Another great video brought back a lot a great childhood memories and really loving the Vegas videos!
Went there with wife couple years ago. LOVED IT!!!!Eight ball deluxe
I love the old pinball machines. Thanks Jacob!
My stomping grounds! I love that you came here!
15:24 that "ouch" is super nostalgic for me
That place looks epic. If I lived close to Vegas I would visit that attraction all the time. I wish arcades where still popular.
MOLD-O-RAMA (and Mold-O-Matic)! I LOVED those when I was a kid, and I haven't seen one since...I used to get my wax souvenirs from the zoo. That was the only place that I knew had them, but I now know that wax souvenir machines are alive and well all over the country!
I'm so pleased that Mold-O-Rama and Mold-O-Matic machines continue to be popular and appreciated!
THANK YOU, JACOB, for showing me that! Love from Eagle Rock, CA!
Cool place, CB! I've always favored pinball over video games. Nearby in Alameda, there's a pinball museum where u can play all day for a fixed price - this includes many of the vintage games. They also display around the museum a varied collection of old clocks, lamps, fans, & jukeboxes, all running/playing at the same time as the pinball machines - quite the cacophony.
This place is legendary. The building is so unassuming, too. They need to market themselves better. But the magic that exists inside is something anyone who ever enjoyed a video game of any kind needs to experience for themselves. Also some really cheap and good eats over on that side of town!
It's power, parts, charity, the director prefers to use the money for well vetted groups that help the community
Enjoyed watching this video. So interesting to see all these different pinball machines. Great attractiion!
Great video Jacob! Those vintage pinball machines are awesome!
My favorite LV attraction! I knew this place would be right up your alley.
Awesome place, was able to check it out a few years ago
I visited here at the beginning of March. Had fun with that exact same Little Slugger Game.
I just heard that they are moving to a larger location on the strip.
Played there many times. Love the place.
I really appreciate you showcasing the PHoF, a favorite for us locals, to your Subscribers 🙏🏽 Yes, they are finally moving to Las Vegas Blvd, across from the Las Vegas Sign, thanks to all the Donations, but they still need help.
Fun fact, at 8:46, Jacob found what many consider to be the Holy Grail of pinball machines. There are only two fully finished Pinball Circus machines in the world, one being in the Pinball Museum above, and the other is in a private collection.
I’ve been there twice definitely wish way more times such an awesome place
I visited this place many times prior from when it was near the movie theaters {think it was called Tropicana Theaters/movies }it was cool because you go watch some really cheap movies then head out the door and go over to the pinball hall of fame. Haven't been there since they moved up the street on Tropicana which from the looks of it to be a bit smaller but still some real cool pinball games old and new
This place looks amazing! Vegas is the first place I plan to travel to once COVID is no longer a thing, so I'll definitely add this to the list of stuff I want to see.
Seen a couple live streams going on in Vegas. That place seemed dead on tourism, throughout this whole worldly event.
This place looks amazing
Very cool place. Went to Vegas three years ago, but didn’t have time to go. It reminds me of Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham N.H. .Unfortunately it closed 4 years ago.
I have a Swords of Fury pinball machine from 1988. I was just replacing any burnt out bulbs in it last week! I’ve had a few pinball but it’s one of my favorite machines. Thanks for the video!
awesome video Jacob, love this type of stuff...
I love seeing your vegas stuff. I so want to go to this Pinball place! I love the rare ones and the facts and dates on the machines
Regarding the 'Permit' card, they were manufactured by the 'Exhibit Supply Company' circa 1941, and were dispensed from arcade machines (just like the 'future husband' cards).
Everyone's a critic. It's a shame so many people are negative and critical. Stay positive and look on the sunny side of life. thanks for the video
Another great visit with the capetbagger Ha ha sorry that would be a lot of fun!
This one is really cool. Thanks for going there
This really made my day and made me feel young again. Thank you so much for sharing!
Man that would be a fun place to be. Thank you for sharing with us.
So glad you went! I enjoyed it more than the casinos when I went. Nice to see the Tron game-one of my faves.
I am a big fan of pinball games .
I've always wanted to go there. It seems really cool!
This pinball game I play so well reflects a way of life, this meeting's just another game, let's play to win tonight!
I loved those old metal stampers! Haven't seen one in years. BTW, your coin says "Capetbagger;" you left out the R.
Yeah, lol
Those old machines aren't reliable, I've had them misspell on me, also.
@@chuckoneill2023 I'm sure that's true, but I was watching, and he skipped over it.
Haha!!
I had an old BINGO pinball game. No flippers, just bouncing around and if you landed on one of the bingo cards you win free games. Very cool. Thanks for the memories.
I think that the carpetbagger is one of the nicest guys ever, wouldn't it be nice if the world was full of baggers, how nice and peaceful and respectful the world would be
I LOVE PINBALL
i played a lot of these pinball machines in the early 1980s at the arcades.growing up . most fun i ever had
That was really awesome! Glad to see places preserve machines like this
Your videos have made me want to visit Vegas! I don't even gamble, I just want to go to the attractions.
Exactly. Vegas does have some great attractions to seek out...if all the major sins hold no interest.
You missed the R in Carpetbagger on the coin....oh no
And even on camera :D
It's a Capetbagger coin now
the r is silent
@@Coinmancer you mean invisible
Literally what I came in the comments to look for 😂 “the R is silent” has me CACKING
I don’t know why but that missing “R” really bothered me.
that was awesome !! thank you !
Great CAPETBAGGER video!
WOW! Two “Mold-A-Rama” machines!
I thought the San Antonio Zoo was the only place that still had them! Neat!
I love the ambient noise great video brings back my childhood and mold -o- rama I can still smell it
That’s a lot of pinball machines
Definitely going to visit- we just got a pinball museum here in Oregon too
I first heard of this place from an episode of American Restoration. It's on my bucket list.
My favorite place to be when I’m in Vegas 👍🏻love those games ❤️asteroids n 1942 n tron 👍🏻can spend couple hours there easy
I was waiting to hear Howard Cosell: "Down goes Carpentier! Down goes Carpentier!" Good episode, Mr Capetbagger!
I would be in there all day! My favorite one was Hayburner!
Regarding the 'Your Future Husband' cards in the vending machine: They were actually fortune-telling cards that were dispensed by fortune-telling arcade machines from the Kennywood amusement park circa the 1940-50s (and probably other similar parks that had those cheesy fortune machines).
Love those old games they are fun
This place is awesome!! 😎👍
Yasss! my all time fav place in Vegas!
