| - We took over Lucky Strike Lanes for our private party. Here are my thoughts in 10 easy frames:
Frame 1 (The Ambiance) - STRIKE! Retro feel, black lit everything, cool projection screens behind the lanes, state-of-the art score monitors (that show the speed of your bowl), giant spacious mahogany bar.
Frame 2 (The Drinks) - STRIKE! I was drinking Grey Goose on the rocks all night and it knocked all my pins down. The bartenders didn't seem too animated and were basically acting as servoids...no matter.
Frame 3 (The Food) - 8 pins. Nothing stands out here. They served your typical between-frames greasy finger foods that make you screw up the next shot...the mini cheeseburgers, hot n spicy burgers, and turkey burgers were all juice-less tasting had a high bread-to-meat ratio...the grilled vegetable pizza was just okay (I only ate it up to the crust)...the chicken pillows (or steamed chicken dumplings) were actually pretty good. And now that I know there is such thing as a chicken pillow, I'm wondering if chickens have pillow fights when no one is looking?...anyway...
Frame 4 (The Bowling) - STRIKE! It was the most stylish 157 I ever bowled.
Frame 5 (The Service) - 7-10 split. The wait staff were a small army of hot, large breasted women who knew little about holding a bowling ball and a lot about holding a tray of mac 'n cheese balls. I will give credit to the "bowling MC" for getting the president of my company to crawl on her stomach and release the ball.
Frame 6 (The Fun) - STRIKE! Lucky Strike provided the setting for a cool party and we funned it up. Picture 150 semi-drunk media professionals doing the Fred Flintstone twinkle toes bowling approach...spinning around two times...and chucking the ball down the alley. Pure. Comedy. Gold.
Frame 7: (The Location) - 9 pins. Lucky Strike is connected to the Rio - while not one of your more classier Vegas hotels (on the Wynn scale), it's a sports bookies paradise and home of the 37th World Series of Poker tournament.
Frame 8: 7 pins. Just cause I needed to fill up a frame.
Frame 9: (PER, or Post Event Rush) - STRIKE! Me and the rest of my mag pals walked out of Lucky Strike sauced, stuffed, and smiling.
Frame 10 (Random "Big Lebowski" quote) - 3 STRIKES! "F**k it, Dude, let's go bowling"
Total Score: A lot
Total Stars: 4
