What is a club without a clubhouse?
A club is defined as an association or organization dedicated to a particular interest or activity. The Flipperspiel Underground Arcade Club is just that: an association of friends dedicated to the love of the silver ball and classic arcade games. Yes, we used to have a clubhouse with an awesome collection of ever-changing games where we could stay up late, play whatever we wanted, run leagues and tournaments to our hearts content. Sadly, those days are over. I will soon write a blog post that will be linked here with the details surrounding the closing of the arcade and where I can wax poetic about the good ol’ days…but for now I want us all to remember that a club is not the clubhouse, it’s the people, and for the time being, that is what this site is about and who it is for.
To be a member of the Flipperspiel Underground Arcade Club one must only need to love pinball and have a friendly disposition, bonus points if you add something to this community and participate in local events. Although most of us live in the Las Vegas, Nevada area some of us have moved on and others are simply regular visitors to our fair city, yet all are members of our club. So, when does the club meet and what do we do? Well read on my friend for this site is all about where to play in Las Vegas and where you can find pinball in our area. You will find postings for local tournaments and information about the various places to play. I hope I can be dedicated enough to this site that it remains updated and useful to everyone who stops by. So, look around, meet up, make some friends, compete, and remember… It’s only a game.
