The Showboat Casino Hotel opened on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in 1987, an offshoot of the original Showboat in Las Vegas, which was famous for putting a bowling alley inside a casino. Atlantic City got its very own version, and the Showboat Lanes became a destination in their own right, drawing league bowlers and even professional tournaments.
After nearly three decades on the Boardwalk, the Showboat closed its doors for good in 2014.
