| - So apparently there's a bowling alley on the second floor. For years I never even contemplated on checking it out, but as I've come to realize that I suck at gambling, I've had to look for alternatives to keep me occupied. So the last time I was in Vegas, up the escalators I went... (There's also an elevator for the impaired or lazy.)
Graveyard Bowling Special, which is what I'm primarily reviewing about, for the win! From midnight to 8am (Monday-Thursday, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3JAdi53xsn3LFOKdZjSPew?select=tog1h6YxRyjIL3BfckGn8Q#GpgZub9sbVPcI5bsv0NcrQ), shoe rentals are $2 and each game is only $1. How awesome is that?! Love the price and the late night option (certainly a nice alternative to gambling), though I'm sad that the snack bar was closed during those hours... Would have been nice to order a hot dog or a burger. There's a small arcade there too, with a claw machine that gobbled up a few of my dollars...
As long as they have this offer (both price point and open late), then I will fully endorse this bowling alley.

BACKSTORY
Was trying to find something for my blind brother to do, and figured that if we used the bumpers (which are usually reserved for kids), that it might provide some physical activity. There was a bit of getting used to, but by the end of the first game, we had figured things out. Not sure if that's a great idea for the blind, as he found some mild enjoyment out of playing, but worth a try anyways.
Sadly, I can't play well anymore with a bum wrist. Maybe I can roll it granny-style... Or learn to bowl left-handed.
