Rio's Bikinis to go Bowling

Bikinis in the Rio has closed. The club  which opened in 2002 never really caught on with locals or tourists.The problem with Bikinis is that it was a huge club---large enough to fit a 12 lane bowling alley---during a time when the trend has been toward small lounges. But what to do with a space that large? The solution: a lounge with a twelve lane bowling alley! The press release heralding the "high end bowling lounge" set to open in Fall 2006 promises: "In addition to the state-of-the-art bowling lanes and sound system, the new venue will feature live DJs on the weekend, making for a bowling and entertainment experience unmatched in Las Vegas." I'm laughing, yes, but not for the reason you think. I am laughing because I think this will work.
