If you paused it and zoomed in, the MASSIVE majority of those games were old terrible sports games… literally have to give those damn things away. The store probably bought a bulk collection that had a ton of them

I live in Vegas and follow Retro City Games’ page on FB, and saw their $1 sidewalk sale last Thanksgiving weekend. Crazy to think that if I had went at the right time, I could’ve met MJR. Was planning to go last Saturday afternoon. Great vid as always, fun to see all the local stores I’ve frequented talked about so highly. Also thanks for the tip on AGP possibly liquidizing next year, may make for some great pick ups.

Hey! That's where I live! We do have a surprising amount of retro games here. We also have 2 Zia Records, which I'm actually heading to today! There's also Wii Play Games which I haven't been to in a while. Your room was amazing! Palazzo is a beautiful hotel. Thanks for covering the Pinball Hall of Fame, that's really a gem and we almost lost it when they moved into their new location. They did a fundraiser to complete construction and keep it open, that would have been a huge loss. Another weird thing people don't talk about much is we do have a swap meet called Broad Acres in North Las Vegas, that place is a super fun time!

My jaw was dropped to the floor for the entire duration of the “A Gamers Paradise”. I cannot believe that store, if someone described it to me I wouldn’t have believed them until they showed me a video lol!! Absolutely breathtaking. I cannot believe he’ll piece off the inventory if someone doesn’t purchase the store. Insane. But we in America are headed for tough times and he could be making a wise choice. We won’t have a lot of spare cash for retro games in the coming years…

Hi Jason, thanks for sharing these video game hunting trips with us, I really like them. To be honest with you, I'm a bit jealous of the retro gaming scene in the US. Back in Montréal, Canada, it's very difficult to find retro gaming stuff. We have a few stores, pawn shops and flea markets and that about it. My wife think that your wife is very patient during these trips...

Better to get outta the game room and do it like this. it's like a band touring the states, hope you can visit all 50 states and game hunt, that would be a nice bucket list item. I think a map in your game room with thumbtacks on each state/city you visited thus far would be awesome. 🤘🏻

I used to live out in Vegas back in 2015. The Pinball Hall of Fame used to be in a small building on Tropicana, east of the Las Vegas Blvd strip. I love how the handicapped parking spaces looked like a wheelchair popping a wheelie while on fire. So glad that they moved to such an amazing location where they can truly show their Legendary collection!
