I'm getting in to town Tuesday. Was hoping to figure out a way to get access to blackhat but that's not looking too likely at this point.
ANYWAY
Curious if anyone was interested in doing a "PinballCon" at the LV Pinball Hall of Fame museum. For those who don't know, the Pinball Hall of Fame is basically a big open building where they have scads of pinball machines ranging the entire history of pinball, all of which are playable. It's run by a non-profit whose mission is to really keep the machines running. The facility itself is no-frills (why do you need frills to play pinball?) but they have snack and soda machines onsite and I think a cool vintage automatic popcorn machine as well.
You can bring a relatively small amount of cash and spend hours here (depending on how good you are at pinball, I suppose!) I went a while back and had a great time, should have really spent more time there.
It's not walkable from the Rio, but only about 10 minutes away via car. I'll have a rental that can likely carry 4 people if you're willing to cuddle in the back seat. Also there is a bus option but it's about an hour's trip. So count on carpools and taxi for this one.
Not particularly married to any day, but I think it would be fun to do Wednesday for those who will be arriving then, perhaps in the evening. Thursday really is day 1 of the con now so I'd rather focus on sticking around the hotel then.
