Bowling in Reno is a big deal. The National Bowling Stadium, the only facility of its kind in the world, (referred to as the “Taj Mahal of Tenpins” by The Los Angeles Times) is dedicated to the classic sport of bowling. Living up to its name, the Stadium, featuring 78 lanes, was designed with the tournament bowler in mind, but the versatility of the facility allows it to be transformed into several configurations to suit any event and is available for private parties, business meetings and bowling functions.
