Round1 Bowling & Arcade – Reno anchors one corner of Meadowood Mall, the big shopping center on the southern edge of Reno where locals come for retail, dining, and entertainment. The venue combines bowling lanes with a video arcade floor, making it a natural fit for families, date nights, and groups looking for a longer-stay activity than the typical mall stop. Because it sits inside Meadowood Mall, visitors can pair a few rounds on the lanes with shopping or a meal on the same trip.
The Reno location is part of the broader Round1 USA footprint, drawing on a national brand playbook while serving Northern Nevada. Its setting inside a major enclosed mall gives it a higher foot-traffic profile than a stand-alone arcade, which can be helpful on weekends, holidays, and during school breaks when the rest of the mall is also busy.
For anyone mapping out the local arcade scene, this Round1 branch is one of several gaming spots around town. Visitors looking to compare options can browse the full directory on the arcade finder or pull up nearby venues on the interactive arcade map.

A bowling-and-arcade hybrid in a mall setting generally features a full lane setup alongside a video arcade section that typically includes rhythm and racing games, crane and prize machines, and a rotating selection of ticket and novelty cabinets. The exact mix on any given visit varies as the chain refreshes its floor across locations.

Round1 Bowling & Arcade – Reno sits at 5400 Meadowood Mall Circle, on the south side of Reno close to the South Virginia Street corridor. Parking is handled by the surrounding Meadowood Mall lot, and the venue shares the building’s general mall layout and signage. Notably, the venue stays open until 2AM every single day of the week, well past when most mall stores close, which makes it a useful late-night stop on the Reno entertainment circuit.
