Best alley to join a league? Favorite alley? Im a 200+ avg bowler ill be back to living in Vegas in May, bowling is the one thing I havent done in Vegas that I enjoy in Cali

Been a while but always go to South Point or Orleans but its more of a drunk midnight bowling than actual league play.

I went to Orleans once and seeing a 100-lane alley is pretty awesome. When I was younger, I always used to get annoyed when I tried to bowl in the early evenings and there was no lanes available due to leagues at a 40-lane alley in California.

Jeff Boski, who besides being a vlogger also posts here from time, is an avid bowler. Hit him via pm. I think his username is ICuRaRook.

foatie has posted here about bowling tournaments in Vegas. He should have some information.

Best competitive leagues: South Point scratch Trios, Suncoast, Orleans Tuesday Mixed.

Best Fun/Recreational Mixed leagues:
Orleans & Gold Coast - they do short season "have a ball" leagues where you pay your dues in a tier system and get a new ball from Storm at the end of the 12-13 weeks.

Thursday nights @ RedRock (50+ teams)

Easiest House shot: Suncoast, Sams Town, Sunset Station.

It all kind of depends on which side of town you feel like bowling in. Many many options.

great info foatie, thanks.

I'm looking to join a couple summer leagues, but i haven't bowled in a few years so not sure how to get on a team.

I filled out some form on the southpoint website, and i have an email for the orleans league secretary i can contact.

Any opinions on the best 2 or 3 evening summer leagues I should attempt to join?

Or if anyone is short a person, PM me. I just drilled a 900 global zen and I was able to shoot between 150-186 scores my first session back at red rock lanes.

I plan on upgrading with 1-2 more strike balls, a spare ball, and some new shoes and accessories shortly.

Also would love to hear recs for local coaches. I plan on improving my initial average a lot throughout the summer so think I'd be a good addition to any team looking to win a handicap league.

Would love to play at southpoint since it's also my main poker room, but i would be fine playing at orleans, red rock, or gold coast too. I'd make the drive further out to sams town or suncoast if the league seems extra cool i suppose.

heh, the second i clicked post i got a call from southpoint. They are putting me in the sun, and weds night leagues. lets go.

2022 USBC Open Championships was just at southpoint, saw alot of serious amateur bowlers

Correct tense is not "was" but "is". The tournament runs about 4 1/2 mo (IIRC) and goes until mid-July. Over 9000 teams projected

we're all bowlers here... most of us are simply not any good at it.

Hey now! I had a 129 average once in a drinking league!

Aren’t all leagues drinking leagues? If the monks had never made beer, would bowling even exist?
