| - I have bowled at 24-hour bowling alleys before. I have been bowling at 1 a.m. before. But never have I bowled at an alley with 70 lanes, and one where almost all of those 70 lanes were in use at 2 a.m. on a Wednesday, until my visit to the Gold Coast. This place is the shit. And I say that despite having bowled the worst games of my post-adolescent life here. That may be because I started throwing the ball down the lane after midnight, or it may be because I spent pretty much the entire day up to that point drinking a cocktail of alcohols that would make the strongest of stomachs go limp.
Either way, it certainly wasn't because this center is sub-par. On the contrary, it's fabulous. Four games and two shoe rentals cost $6. Ohhhh shit. It was on. I may have been tired enough that I laid down on the fabulous swivel seats while the bf was rolling, but we were going to play until we passed out mid-throw and started snoring in the lane.
Keeping the z's at bay were $4.50 drinks. They weren't the strongest, but as stated, it was 2 a.m. in Vegas-we weren't trying to induce liver failure at this point. Staff is great-there's Linda, who is friendly but who's been there so long she knows it all, has seen it all, and dealt with the looong line of customers with ease. The bartender was also fast despite dealing with lots of meatheads ordering endless pitchers of beer.
This is a gem for non-gamblers in Vegas, or those who've lost enough of their money gambling that all you have left is a $20 to cover the night's entertainment.
