To get the most out of the Grand Ole Gameroom Expo we recommend you stay at the Franklin Marriott Cool Springs. We are located just 20 minutes south of downtown Nashville surrounded by upscale shopping, dining and history. Key hotel amenities include Stave's Regional Kitchen And Lounge, a Fitness Center, and Indoor Pool.

The expo will open early and stay open till 3am Friday and Saturday nights, and Sunday till 5pm. This gives you a chance to play games when the day crowds have died down. If you are visiting from out of town you also have more weekend time to check out Nashville during the day while still having plenty of time to game at night. We have a special discounted room rate for attendees so be sure to book it with the link below.

We want the Expo to have as many arcade and pinball machines as we can fit in there and power. We want to have all your favorite games here and maybe some games you never got a chance to play. To do that we need your help.
