Bowling has been in and out on the pop culture radar more often than Wayne Newton. In most of the country it's an entertaining way to kill an evening or a Saturday afternoon, and an excuse for employees at the same company to get together after work and wear funny shirts with their names sewn on. But when people come to Las Vegas, bowling is probably the last activity on their minds, though it may still rank above searching for the perfect dice clock.
Pure Management Group and the Rio Resort hope to change all that with the Lucky Strike Lanes, scheduled to open in March. A combination 10-lane bowling alley, restaurant, bar and nightclub, Lucky Strike puts the beer back into the beer frame. Dining specialties include Bite Size Mac & Cheese Balls and Buffalo Chicken Crisps, as well as the standard alley cuisine of burgers and pizzas.
At night, Lucky Strike Lanes morphs into a nightlife hotbed complete with bowling, bar and beats. A neon-lit, script-lettered Las Vegas sign radiates light over the black-lit lanes. The venue will house state-of-the-art technology including five projection screens, which descend from a cascading, wave-patterned white ceiling, and feature score screens complete with picture-in-picture. And where else could you see hot girls in sexy dresses, wearing ugly shoes with the size displayed on the back?
