With more than 30 locations across the United States and overseas, Dave & Buster's has finally hit the Homestead Waterfront. And, believe me, it's a BIG hit -- approximately 60,000 square feet of fun and great food include two bars (one in the very classy dining area, the other in the neon classy arcade area); more than 200 traditional-to-high-tech interactive games, including virtual reality and laser shootout; pocket billiards; shuffleboard; the World's Newest & Best Indoor 19th Hole Golf Simulator (Tee Time reservations are recommended, you can bring your own clubs, and the computer keeps your score in accordance with international rules.); "Mystery Dinner Theatre" on Saturday nights; and a theme-park-type shuttle to and from the entrance (even if you're parked only a feet away.) Is this Chuck E. Cheese Goes To Las Vegas? Yes, because you can win some cool prizes. No, because guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (including during restroom visits), and you can't put a $5 bill into a machine and get a day's worth of tokens. Dave & Buster's has its own monetary system. (These guys are no strangers to big business psychology!) You can get three chips for a dollar (a nuisance) or pay a $1, one-time fee for a "Power Card." Power Card = debit card and, like debit cards, one can have a helluva good time using it until the bill arrives. Not that Dave & Buster's isn't worth it. It's just a forewarning (especially after having a few drinks!) Bottom line? You work hard. You deserve to play today. And, for that, Dave & Buster's is priceless. -- Jolie Kenney
