    Just as a baseline:
    In 2014, living 9.9 miles from the nearest alley; < 15 miles from 3...I bowled 968 games. 2 leagues per season, just about weekly practice, occasional lessons, VBT, occasional tournaments, fun bowling as well.

    Thus far in 2015, same distance;...I've bowled 314 games. 2 leagues per season, about every other week practice, a lesson every few weeks, occasional tournaments. Less "fun" bowling though.

    My "guess" is that being closer to the alley by my apartment isn't really going to increase my games much until the summer season is over and I have a chance to join a league there...but if I had to guess how many jelly beans will be in the jar for 2015 total...I'm gonna guess 314 + 438 = 752. The reason it'll be down compared to 2014 is that in 2014 I had my ex living with me temporarily so I looked for every single opportunity NOT to be home. And in the start of 2015 I was kinda a single parent...and by late 2015 I'll probably be casually dating now and again....yet broke from divorce payments...so I don't think it'll be too much of a jump. Maybe in 2016, I could see going over 1000, but 2000 games in a year is almost 40 games per week. Even if I bowled 10 games of practice every single day...which I might...that's 3650 games. Every OTHER day is 1825.

    I'll still put my 752 or 968 up against anybody on the site...and easily be in the top 5...but I definitely think 1000 is a reasonable guess...at least for 2016. But yes, price will also be a factor. They have $2.25/game and $10/hr rates. Which is very reasonable. But I don't know if they have league discounts or anything. And if I go in there often enough and they know I live next door...they might even have some "frequent bowler" program where I write them a check for $1000 and I bowl whenever I want for free. If something like THAT were to happen...then I think 1800-2100 is attainable.

    Rob would know for sure about Vegas...but I believe there are only maybe 3-4 hotels in Vegas with 24-hour bowling. Most of the hotels with bowling centers don't stay open much later than anywhere else. Bowling in the middle of the night in Vegas is kinda sad because usually I'm the only one bowling for sport/practice...everyone else is there because they struck out at the casino and decided to drown their sorrows with bowling as a distraction.

    I came up with an estimate of about 900 for me. 2 winter leagues 3 summer leagues practice twice a week 3-6 games and bowl for fun or tournaments at least every other weekend 3-4 games at least. Number has been going up though my new house m-f after 6:00 is 7.25 then a quarter a game leads to some 10-12 game nights.

    Probably more like 802 in 2015. I forgot to factor in June.
