So a friend of mine invites my husband and I to go “Monte Carlo” bowling on a Saturday night at Sunset Lanes in Beaverton. We’re like, “Sure. But what’s that?” All I knew was that somehow you can win money, but no one really understood how. But, hey, I like bowling.<\/p>\n
Well, we had a blast. Sunset Lanes rocks as far as bowling alleys go. It’s loud and busy with big screens mounted up high showing the “game”, a jazzed up arcade, a decent bar with quality beer on tap, good pub grub (mozzarella sticks, cajun fries, towers of onion rings, etc), and actual tables at your lane so you can sit\/eat\/drink\/socialize while you wait for your turn. Sunset even had waiters whipping by to clean up and get you more. \u00a0Just a very nice set up. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The Monte Carlo aspect adds to the loudness and the fun. The lanes are black-lighted with random neon pins that show up. You can win money for certain combinations. Big money is for splits that you actually spare. They had a guy calling things like, “Angie on lane 30 gets $2 if she get all the pins or just the one on the right.” \u00a0I don’t know anyone in our group of 30 or so that won any big money. \u00a0I got $2 for the “you suck, you get a buck” prize for bowling 2 games under 100 \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0And, I got another $2 and a couple of 50 cent game coupons just ’cause I was obnoxiously bad and I think the caller felt sorry for me! It costs $17 per person plus $3.25 shoe rental. You can reserve lanes a week ahead of time. Alli reserved 6 lanes and mixed us all up. I was with 3 people I’d never met and we had a great time. I’d probably have even more fun though with good buddies and my hubby. You’d want at least 2 lanes worth of friends because you share the two lanes…I’d bowl on 30 and 29 depending on where my name showed up. That was confusing at first, but I got the hang of it. I’d definitely do it again…a fun and different, grown-up night out.<\/p>\n
