I don't remember which casino it was in Reno, but they had some where around 110 lanes. I was awesome when the 1985 WIBC tournament opened with every lane having a ball thrown at the same time.

Would love to see any of those that have 60+ lanes. Outside of the stadium and Las Vegas have not seen anything over 42. That was Lightning Strikes in Trussville, Alabama, where the PBA stop is next week. They went first class on everything there. I highly recomend seeing it if you are down there.

I live in las vegas, there are 60 plus lanes on every side of town now. I used to bowl league at the showboat/castaways that had 106 lanes, both centers in there played much different and the lower end lanes upto 1-36 hooked more than 37-72 because different lane machines were used to oil them. The new side 1-24 were always much tighter because they were much newer lane beds.

80 lane Boardwalk Bowl in Orlando, FL.  Awesome bowling facility, lucky enough to practice there, the place can do anything.  Check it out if you're ever in the area, but not on a weekend night, too many highschoolers.
