Wow, that's pretty weird.  I gotta give you ups, xurusaibobx, as being a bowler who has actually bought stuff at the castaways pro shop but never bowled there.

That Sucks! I've bowled a couple of tourneys over there and have a low finish of 15th.  I really didn't care much for the actual hotel or casino but the center will be missed!     Any news on weather the Vegas JBT will be moved or cancelled?    Bill Grant

It's no wonder that place closed. Their coffee shop was run by one chick who was 90 years old, and their rooms had poor plumbing...
