Facebook video of the groundbreaking - note that it may be muted by default, but there is sound
Quote: ThatDonGuyGround has just broken on the new Pinball Hall of Fame site, on the northbound side of the Strip, south of Mandalay Bay and north of the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. It is planned to be about three times as large as the current site on Tropicana between Tamarus and Spencer, just east of UNLV. The plan is for it to be open no later than early next year, although I remember how hard it was to move the machines from the older site (Tropicana and Pecos) to the current one.

When I moved to Henderson in 2016, I wanted to open a shop. I thought the shopping center right next to the HOF would be ideal but I was warned the HOF would be leaving soon. I hired a company that did traffic analysis and it determined the HOF was very very under-utilized. I'm not sure how moving to a bigger, more expensive facility will work out for them, but I wish them well.

The current location, or the new one?
I think the owner said that the previous owner of the new location kept that land pretty much solely for the billboard that's there. The March 2019 photo on Google Maps has signs for Joe's Seafood/Prime Rib/Steak on one side and a brand of cannabis vaping pens on the other.

He paid $4.6 Million for the land at auction for the Strip property. It's pretty big, going very deep. According to the video, the building will be set well back from the strip.
