About

My name is Michele Estrella

Hello! My name is Michele, and I am the founder and owner of Pearl City Plushies.

You might wonder why the name Pearl City for a business based in Las Vegas. I was born in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, and grew up in Pearl City for my early childhood. This business is my way of honoring my roots while sharing a bit of island joy with others.

We started Pearl City Plushies in 2022, shortly after life began returning to normal following the lockdowns. Like many families, we were looking for something new that was both creative and meaningful. One day my husband and I thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to have a claw machine at home?” That small idea quickly turned into a wonderful business adventure.

We are proud to be a local, Asian American, and veteran-owned family business, and we are truly honored to bring smiles to our community.

Pearl City Plushies specializes in party and event entertainment. We bring the fun and nostalgia of an arcade experience to homes, businesses, and trade shows. From our first clients in Summerlin to our first corporate event with Amazon Web Services, our claw machines have always been a hit. Guests never expect them, but they always enjoy the surprise when they see one.

Since we began, our services have expanded to include photo booths, popcorn and cotton candy machines, booth games, and event rentals such as tables and chairs. As a mom, I know how stressful it can be to organize a party or special event. Our goal is to make the process simple, affordable, and enjoyable for you.

For trade shows, our custom-wrapped claw machines help your brand attract attention and connect with new clients in a fun and memorable way.

We look forward to being part of your next celebration.

Until our claws cross again,

Michele Estrella
Owner, Pearl City Plushies
