The Orleans Bowling Center

Bowling is great here but the best part is the Bar the last 2 years Garret always remembers us. He takes great care of all customers makes us laugh. It’s great to have someone who knows what he is doing. Thank you Garret for making us want to come back even if we aren’t bowling.

Just want to say how friendly the staff is here, especially my man Arthur. Even with a large group in front of him bickering over who will pay for who, he’s there saying no problem guys, not a single sign of frustration. During the night, one of our kid’s balloons flew up and we couldn’t reach it. I went to the desk and asked Arthur what we can do about it, he says we can’t really get it but what are those kids favorite colors. 5 minutes later he comes over to our group with a yellow balloon and a purple balloon! He made sure these even had a long enough string so that if any flew up we could reach them. He didn’t have to do this for us but he did and that’s why he has left a memory. Great unexpected service that night, thank you Arthur and team

Susie And Nathaly in the bowling center are awesome. Great service, charisma and personality go a long way. Great job, ladies.

We had a really great time bowling at the Orleans– the place is huge!
I paid $ 25.50 for 2 kids and one adult to bowl two games and rent shoes. It was great entertainment and a fun time!
The only down side was not being able to easily find balls that were 9 – 10 lbs with a wider thumb-​hole or grip.

I can never complain about the alleys at the Orleans. Their balls are pretty nice to use with minimal chipping, and the lanes aren’t oiled too much or too little, so I’m able to spin my ball properly. The rates are comparable to that of the Gold Coast and priced than that of the Red Rock. To get a real bargain, visit during 12am-​6am on weekday nights for $ 1 games. Why not take advantage of such a great deal?

Bowling for the family! 7 lbs balls are the lightest and they will put up bumpers for you… They stay up the whole time so now you have an advantage too! Discount of 50 cents if you’re a senior or a child. Pay per game– so 24 $ included 2 games for 3 people… Hours of fun! Child has to roll or hurl the ball since they do not offer the ball guider unless you are in a wheelchair. Trendy top 40’s music blaring. Food stand has the usual kiddo foods– nachos, hot dogs, corn dogs… Adult beverages of beers! Buy a pitcher and share. Place is a bit older but clean and staff friendly and fast! Mark the cashier and shoe person has flair when providing service and even says hello and good bye when his shift ends! Seemed like regular bowlers adore him and shake hands with him when they leave too. That’s family oriented! And loyalty. Park in garage and enter casino– follow the signs! After bowling walk over to the cinema– all day fun w kiddo and family.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Came with my family and the place was empty besides another family. Of course they placed us right next to each other and with every frame there was issues with the lane. Stay away!

I love Vegas. So many things — no matter the time or day.
I have been to this local a handful of times and they are pretty consistent. I mean, it’s a bowling alley that is cheaper than many small towns. Tonight Arthur was our alley host and he seemed to be holding it down for a fairly large audience.
It cost us $ 9.50 each for our 2 games, with shoe rental, and no coupons or discounts. ($ 38 for the 4 of us) If we would have waited a couple hours (until midnight), the games would have been $ 1/​ea rather than the $ 3.
Just like another reviewee said, you leave a shoe for collateral — but think about how many people you know that have walked out with bowling shoes, on purpose or accident. Shoes are around $ 30 retail, so still, they are probably a little more expensive than the rental price at bulk wholesale. BUT who really knowingly goes to a bowling alley in Loubs? At The Orleans nonetheless? I’m all for the Louboutins, Giuseppe, or even Lower Eastsides & Airwalks — really any shoe — I’m a shoe whore — nonetheless, I highly doubt the bowling alley attendant (s) desire to pilfer your one shoe. So bowling alley goers — don’t fret! Your shoe WILL be there upon return! :)
They have league nights, tournaments and contests for things such as high score and most strikes… I only go 5 in the 2 games, so out 22 frames, I don’t think I will do that, but bowling is fun & what a fun cheap way to get things rolling in Vegas. ;)
Offers: Bowling, food, bar, music, arcade same level, and more! You can even bring in your own snacks if you want. #saving

Really large bowling alley. Clean and easy to get to. It looks like a normal bowling alley but just much, much larger. Came late-​night with some co-​workers and was surprised by the late night discounted rates. will come back next we have a chance.

This place looked older. I’ve been to South Point bowling and it was nicer than this place. Maybe they just need to spruce up the colors a bit. What put me off the most about this place was when I got my bowling shoes I had to give them one pair of my own shoes as «collateral.» I was taken aback, so to me that tells me that not only does it look run down and abused but that it is. The location is also a little scary, not the place itself just surrounding areas. Then when I went to find a bowling ball, the selection was so scarce, they had rows and rows of unfilled cases with no bowling balls. One can only take a guess here but seems to me that not only do their shoes get stolen but so do their balls. I was there on a Thursday night and for two people to play 2 games it was $ 20. Really think they should put some time and money into this place and think of ways to counteract people stealing. I did have a good time but I think I’ll go to south point next time. South point just looks safer and cleaner and more up to date.

Largest bowling alley ever, 70 lanes!
This is located inside The Orleans Casino on the top level. They also have a snack bar, arcade, and bar lounge area! Friendly staff and games only start around $ 3 something, graveyard hours are only $ 1 (Mon-​Fri 12am-​8am)!
Tip: If you decide to stay in The Orleans, they also give you a Buy a game, get a game 50% off deal! :)

Don’t quote me on this, but I think the Orleans Bowling Center is the closest bowling alley to the Strip and consequently, the University of Las Vegas, Nevada. I came to the Orleans Bowling Center for the first time for a UNLV student organization social event, in fact.
The bowling alley is pretty dated and cell phone reception was nonexistent, which was particularly irksome. 4G LTE, Wi-​Fi, nothing worked up here. Doesn’t the Orleans Bowling Center know that the devil makes work for idle hands?! :P JK
For a group of about 10 people and to reserve 2 lanes, the total came to an astounding $ 200+. I was shocked at how expensive it was, I mean, it was a Friday night at 6PM but holy moly! It’s not like it was Cosmic Bowling or anything. Luckily for me, my wallet was spared because I only came to spectate. Little know fact — I hate bowling.
I’ll end my rant by commenting on the positives. The alley is old, but clean. The bar dishes out cheap drinks. A 16oz Busch is $ 1.50 and a 16oz of Bud Light is $ 2 (offered all day everyday day). Not the best beer in the world but at those prices, who cares? Another plus was that the bowling alley was relatively empty and less rambunctious than most Vegas bowling alleys for a Friday evening. Wait, is that a pro or a con?
Worth a return visit?
If I have a choice, probably not. Santa Fe Station and Red Rock are my go-​to bowling alleys. They’re nicer and closer to home, anyways.
Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #76

My go to bowling center!
This facility is pretty clean! For a very old bowling center, the place is well kept. There are hundreds of bowling balls, so you will find the the correct weight a measurement.
I usually come here for their graveyard bowling. It is $ 3.50 shoe rental and $ 1 games. It’s a lot of fun for little money.
The service is really good too! They definitely make you feel welcomed especially if you are a regular there.
Bowling on the weekends and other times of day is not too bad either. It averages to $ 11 per person for shoes and two games.

First I should say — I had a great time. The facility is great, clean, etc. Could have played some better music but, whatever. For the most part, the Orleans Bowling Center is a good time and deserves 4 stars…
However.
I hosted a group on Labor Day weekend which I had called ahead and planned for months in advance, with this venue. They ended up double-​charging my party. we paid $ 160 dollars for 7 people to bowl 3 games. That’s outrageous.
I thought so, day of as well but I was in a hurry and time was of the essence — I had to catch my ride back to my hotel (I’d have had to pay for an extra hour for the driver if I took too long)
When I called them to have them explain to me, the high cost, the fellow I spoke with couldn’t come up with the price I paid either. He told me he’d have their manager/​finance person call me back but I never received a call back.
If you have a group, PLEASE make sure they give you an exact cost, ON-​SITE, prior to starting to bowl so that you don’t end up getting screwed.

So we initially came to this establishment because we saw a bowling special for $ 1 bowling after midnight on weekdays. In my mind, I thought that Friday was still a weekday… don’t let your mond think like mine! They mean Mon-​Thurs… I s’pose that Friday after midnight is technically Saturday… so we paid full price. Full price isn’t horrible, but there are definitely cheaper places (check out Red Rock’s bowling alley). This ended up being about $ 10 per person here… again, not horrible, but there are cheaper.
We didn’t drink or eat, so I cannot really comment on that. As far as the bowling goes and the lanes… we had a fun time! It serves its purpose… nothing extravagant or crazy. I wish they had more of a ball selection though… kind of got stuck with heavier balls (sorry, I can be immature and I am CRACKING UP writing this but I cannot think of another way to arrange my wording :/​) and that’s no good for me. I never did find one that was 10lbs.
Not sure that we’ll come back here outside of their Mon thru Thurs special… but if it’s the mearest alley to you, it’s not bad!

Ever wondered how it would be like to own a bowling alley to yourself? How about playing bowling during the zombie apocalypse? This place was empty on a Tuesday early morning. I’ve forgotten the feeling of human warmth and commoderie. Other than the workers ever so frequently float on by in the back like the ghost of Christmas past, it was just the sound of my focused breathing and the sound of lonely balls rolling it’s way into the gutter — story of my life.
$ 1 games are never bad. Go if you’re not a gambler. Lanes are straight and unbiased. Place is well lit. Air is cleaner upstairs too. Or if you’re a parent. Give your kids $ 20 and tell them to knock themselves out playing here for the next 2 – 3 hours while you win yourself a new pair of shoes.

I was between 3 – 4 for this place, but it just feels more like a 3. Best part about this bowling alley is they have a ton of lanes, and the prices are good.
Worst part about it is it feels very rundown, old, not very nice. Not to say it’s bad, but having been to newer more themed bowling alleys, this place just seemed real outdated.
Other than that though, bowling was fine, price was good, and I would go back if only for the price. ($ 3 per game)

I only come here a couple times a year whenever I visit Vegas.
Whenever I go there is usually only one worker at the front and every year I go, he’s always extremely friendly and has a good sense of humor.
There are SO many lanes! when there isn’t any league it’s pretty empty. it maybe it just feels that way because no one is really close to each other.

BIG BIG Bowling ally! There’s so many lanes! Came here on a Saturday night around midnight after a long day of gambling and shopping. There wasn’t a wait to bowl and it only cost $ 7.00 for a round of bowling (two people)
I love that this bowling ally is open 24 Hours! How convenient! This is totally one of my late night spots in Vegas

A clean bowling alley with lots of lanes. Stay in the hotel and receive a 2 for 1 game coupon. It’s a nice option to have when you’ve lost all your money downstairs or need a break from all the winning you’re doing. There’s also a small arcade attached and a snack bar for your noshing pleasure.
