The Gameworks in Vegas is also pretty sweet - we wasted the majority of an afternoon there. They have original Space Invaders, Centipede, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga and other machines, plus about a half-dozen pinball (Sopranos, Simpsons? hmm I was kinda drunk at the time). The place is pretty huge and there's games there for everyone, all the way from the classics through the 80's and 90's.

We played all the way through the Jurassic Park lightgun game; my brother and I were on the trigger and my poor sister-in-law was in charge of feeding more credits into the machine when we died - which happened a lot. My hand ached the next day like it was on fire, as I am a big proponent of the "work the trigger as fast as a machine-gun and never stop shooting" theory of gameplay, and we must have been playing at least an hour on that one game.

I think there are Gameworks in other cities around the US as well, and I definitely recommend going if you can.
