    This place has so much potential, but it is literally being run to the ground. We had reserved the track a few years ago for my son's birthday and figured we'd do it again for my husband. I emailed them and was quoted "$300 an hour for the whole facility", I don't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure that is what we paid for our son's but I could be wrong. Anyway, come the day of the party we arrive and are shown to the party room. The room is smaller than my bathroom and filthy, painters tape on the walls, and just dingy looking, but it is what it is. While we were waiting my son and husband did 1 race, and I walked out and told them that I would pay separately for that race and they told me not to worry about it. Now, while this is going on I heard the young kid on the phone quoting another person $150 an hour for the racetrack, so after a bit I go and ask what it is I am paying for vs the $150 price, he tells me that for $150 I just get the track, $300 does ax throwing too....yeah no we don't need to do ax throwing, racing is fine. People arrive, register and race once. There were 8 carts, even though 12 is what they are supposed to have and I was charged extra for having over 12 racers. Now in that first race, at least 2 of the cars died halfway through. Oh did I mention they only had 8 carts, and they race them, charge them for 20 or so minutes, then let the public race them charge them for 20 or so minutes, and then it's our turn again. So if you're not good at math let me break it down for you. There are 60 minutes in an hour, 40 minutes of that is charging the cars and about 10 minutes of that is a race, so that if every other race is a public race...that means we get one race an hour. I paid $300 for 2 races for 8 people each (while I should count the first race with my son and husband, I won't since I offered to pay for it and was told not to.) Had I just walked in and paid for each racer as a public person instead of a party I would have saved at least $100, probably more. I tried to talk to the owner about it and see what we can figure out, but I have been ghosted....so here's this...

    So much fun! It's way, way bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside and everyone had a blast. I highly recommend this for 1-2 people or large groups. An adrenaline high for sure!!

    Nephews loved the go karts. Axe throwing is cool, but you don't get the ones in the picture on the website. Escape room is a total joke and not worth time or money. Staff in the front is young and immature.

My friend wanted to play Duckpin bowling, but it was $35 an hour for up to 6 people. Lucky we asked the bartender if we could pay for it at the bar and she talked to the bar manager and he said sure! It's only $3 a game per person! Now we're talking! We had 4 people and one game each was perfect for $12. You don't need bowling shoes, there is barely an approach. It was super fun! They had many specials such as street tacos $3, Modelo draft beer $4 and Margaritas $5. We had the Supreme flatbread for $14 and it was good. My Friend ordered the charcuterie board for $24. I really loved the sausage and the display was presented in a giant pretzel. I love the couches for trivia so nice and comfortable! The staff preferred not to have a photo so I respected their wishes. The building is huge with no one In it, which makes me sad! We will definitely be back for trivia and hopefully Duckpin bowling will be $3 a game again! If you're looking for a fun place for the family look no further this is the place for you!!!

    Quality/Quantity - Chris U and his team did a GREAT job hosting today's SBDC event!…read moreAmazing space. Huge space. Our team had a section next to the rear bar, near the duckpin lanes. We had a couple lanes reserved for us. Plenty of space for seating, eating, etc. Please see all my pictures. I had a few tacos, churros, beer, and ice tea. I left very satisfied. Ambiance - The space is AMAZING, both indoor and outdoor. Huge and plenty of different things to do. Good options to eat or drink, especially with a full bar. See pictures of their menus. Racing, duckpin, mini gold, arcade, eating and drinking, etc. So many options. A great place to host events, corporate meetings, etc. Or just a great day/night for a family outing, date night, etc. Open 7 days a week from 10am or 11am to 10pm or midnight. Plenty of mall parking; they are located in the very back of the mall next to Planet Fitness; so again, plenty of parking. Many promotions, especially daily; see their website. Service - Great. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Many promotions and events; see their website. Price - Today's event was free for me as Chris and SBDC hosted it. But all the prices seem very reasonable for a great and fun day. See my pictures. Student discounts available; see their website. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2008, since 2013 in Reno, and almost a year at this new beautiful location.

And is on the same floor as the Casino. It's really close to the parking garage. The temperature is warmer than the Casino and make it more pleasant. I don't belive you can smoke in the apex. I didn't even see anyone vaping either. Soon as we walked in the Apex we spotted the food court. They have really good deals on food and drink. There is no need to go to the steakhouse or Buffett if you are just looking for a quick meal of burgers or pizza or the like. In Addition this is a quick alternative if you don't want to waste time eating as you are more into playing games or gambling or watching a sporting event. $6 for a beer, $3 for a soda and $9 for a personal pizza. They have tacos, wings, burgers, salads and much more. All reasonably priced. See photo for pricing details. They have a nice looking sports bar with a full bar in the center and lots of tv screens and a giant ticker wraps around the room. They have DJ trivia Wednesday nights at 7pm. They offer hurricane slushy drinks and Kings drink specials. Behind the Sports bar they have virtual golf that looked fun. We saw 2 people playing. They even had the whole set of gloves in a bag. Next time we have to play golf. In the arcade we saw some people having fun in a virtual reality ride. The ride was swinging them all over as they looked thought there virtual reality googles. The arcade has lots of arcade games (like Mario and Harlow, motorcycle and car driving games.), pinball machines, and a giant claw machine. We didn't try any games on his trip. They have indoor Go-cart races that require you to wear a helmet. The track is all lit up with neon lights. It's a pretty big course from what I can see. Six people were exiting the course when we walked by. They were all excited, filled with adrenaline and chattering about the good time they had. Lastly they have a bowling alley, it was pretty big, but not big enough to hold a private event there and have free bowling at the same time. When we were there it was being used by a private event. They have 18 interactive lanes. SUN - FRI UNTIL 5PM | $40/HR PER LANE and FRI 5PM - SAT | $45/HR PER LANE. Pricy, but I think that's still around the price of our bowling alley is back home. Shoe rental is $5 and if they have socks on hand it's $3. This looks like a really fun place to hang out and store your kids for a few hours while you gamble. It is expensive though and all of the machines take their cash card, like the casino rewards card they have a card system so there is no spontaneity when it comes to wanting to play a single game or two. This is how our BlVD is back home in Sacramento and probably how Dave and Busters is so it's not uncommon, but I prefer putting cash in a machine. When you pay cash you aren't committed to using a certain amount or making sure you have the right amount on your card. I really avoid these places do to this. Back in SF you can go to the Musee and it's a cash business. That's more my style. Next time my husband said we're skipping the Buffett and eating here or the steak house. Though once he sees the prices of the steak house, we'll be coming here for a burger.
