64 Lanes Of Fury!
So now that the trip is booked I’ve been looking into some details, thinking about different options for entertainment, dining, and transportation.
The first thing I was pleased to discover was that the location James Darren is performing at has a bowling alley…with 64 lanes. The property is pretty far off-strip and in the opposite direction of our semi-off-strip hotel. So if we end up having to wait for a lane I swear I’ll shoot someone in the face.
I was also happy to have the existence of a second pool at the Stratosphere pointed out to me. Mindi and I had thought there was a second pool but weren’t sure and couldn’t find directions. On TripAdvisor someone described it as having “the ambiance of a high school parking lot” but the person who said that was over 50 so it could go either way.
Today I discovered something called the ‘Hoover Dam Comedy Tour’. I was completely sold on renting a car and driving there ourselves, maybe trying to fit in a few other things along the way or in the area as well, but this has me wondering. If it’s anything like Sleuths it might be worth giving up our freedom for. It’s only $79.99 USD and runs 6.5 hours. It includes a professional comedian as tour guide, a meal at the Boulder Dam Hotel where presidents used to dine, a scenic photo op at Lake Mead, a tour of Boulder City, a fudge or custard snack and tickets to a comedy show at Harrah’s.
Also it sounds like I’ve barely scratched the surface with regards to dining options – the Stratosphere buffet, 50s diner, and Hard Rock are all musts of course - it sounds like there’s more options that you can shake a stick at. I wonder if they have anything like Sleuths…
