| - Wow, bowling has been taken up a notch.
Beware normal bowling fans, Red Rock Lanes will be a completely different experience for you, especially if you go for the Cosmic Bowling nights. This is bowling at a club. You will not find anyone over the age of 40 bowling here during cosmic bowling, that's for sure.
I celebrated my "early" birthday here with a gathering of friends. We got a lane for two games. Each game costs $13 (that includes shoes). Well, that's a bit pricey in my book for bowling, BUT it was my birthday so splurge! In all honesty I would probably bowl elsewhere (for cheaper) had it not been my birthday party. The ambiance is hip, there's a plus with a really nice bar, and the music is fun - but really, when you go to bowl isn't it more about BOWLING and talking with friends/making fun of their poor bowling skills? This is kind of a hard thing to do when you have strobe lights in your face and a booming background track of music.
It's a HUGE facility and even on a Saturday night around 9 PM we did not have to wait for a lane. I think with other places you'd probably end up waiting around a bit for a lane to open up just because other alleys are much smaller.
There's a multitude of pluses about this place, but I think the real downside is the expensive price tag they put on it. Bowling should be for the masses and should be cheap! Of course, that's just my opinion. Overall, good time, but I think maybe I'll just go to the base and pay $5 for unlimited cosmic bowling....
