Opening ahead of schedule, South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa in Las Vegas recently unveiled its new $35 million bowling tournament center. The 90,000-square-foot South Point Bowling Plaza features 60 lanes, a 360-seat viewing area and two Daktronics Inc.-manufactured LED video displays located at two ends of the bowling alley.

The two 10-millimeter LED video displays, measuring approximately 8-feet high by 170-feet wide each, act as official score keepers for bowlers and showcase a variety of high-definition LED video advertising.

While other bowling entertainment facilities are usually open to the general public, including the South Point's original bowling area, the South Point Bowling Plaza is only for professional tournaments. Per a long-term deal with the United States Bowling Congress, Las Vegas Events and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the facility will regularly host major bowling championships.

"With the installation of our new Daktronics boards, in conjunction with our Brunswick scoring system, we have a display that is unparallel[ed] in the bowling industry," said Mike Monyak, director of bowling operations at South Point. "Add in the benefit of being able to use virtually any kind of media for displays, advertising or any other kind of output, and the system cannot be beat."

South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa rests on 60 acres of land at the southern tip of the Las Vegas Strip. The resort offers patrons a wide variety of gaming and entertainment amenities and features, in total, more than 20 Daktronics-manufactured LED video displays located throughout the South Point property.
