I LOVE this place!
Wildfire Lanes is literally 2 minutes from my place and I seriously had a great time when I went here. I had the biggest grin on my face since I went to Red Rock for the snow.
I'm a bowler and I grew up bowling so bowling alleys have a very special place in my heart. The bowling alley was actually very nice (WAY nicer than I was expecting). I was pretty intimidated to go in considering it's one of the local casinos. I was afraid I was going to be acosted by a "rough trick named Jim" or something. It was quite the contrary. The bowling area had fancy booth-style seating with a table to set your drinks... btw they also have a drink menu.
They have a full bar which gets me excited to come here for next year's football season because they also have TVs that have ESPN on.
I would have liked to have a chair in front of the bowling computer area thing but it's all good. I had to re-spot my pins and one of the workers that came from the back of the lanes came up to me and said I looked confused and he respotted the pins for me... FROM THE COMPUTER. I was completely blown away by this!
The staff here are extremely nice, which I'm finding is a trend in this area. The man behind the desk and a woman who was talking to him asked me if I wanted to join a league and I was ecstatic because that's exactly what I went up there for! They weren't pushy and were understanding when I told them that I'm not employed. I told them I would definitely back and hopefully I'll find a job before the next season starts.
The bowling rates are not bad at all considering this day in age's club/bowling prices. They have 18 lanes and we paid $10 for an hour of bowling. Considering that WAY back in the day we used to pay $8 for an hour of bowling. I'm looking forward to taking my out-of-town friends here (from 9pm-Midnight) so we can get our bowling on!
