national bowling stadium in reno is the best center in the world for real bowling.  no open play to trash the approaches and a great and supportive management team.  if you have ever run a tournament there, you know what i mean.

Kearney Mesa Bowl in San Diego.  Big house. Clean house.  The lanes appeared well taken care of.  Also, the pro shop is the best I've been to.

Shame I don't live there anymore.

Stadium has not been that accomodating.  Staff that watches the lanes are inattentive and ancient.  Watching them input PBA scores live, I had to correct quite a few,while watching them.  

We booked our sweepers there and they decided to replace the pin machines leaving our 20 4 man league with 10 lanes for sweepers.  They overbooked the place considering they were doing construction which we also had no idea they were doing while we were scheduled.  Nor did they tell us until we walked i to doors.  This caused a huge problem, and delayed our sweepers by .....oh just about 4 hours!!!  People missed shows they'd bought tickets for, hotel rooms had to be ordered for additional days due to the lateness of our now changed time schedule.  We actually didn't get pay outs until about midnight, again due mostly to the 4 hour late start.

It's gone, but there will never be another place like the Showboat was in
Las Vegas--before the demise.
