Do you have an obscene amount of money? Are you also inexplicably obsessed with bowling?

Then boy are you in luck, because a bowling alley in Melbourne, Australia has popped up that will set you back at least A$10,000 ($7,691) for a mere three hours-worth of play. Of course, you're also in luck generally, because you've got A$10,000 to blow on absolutely nothing.

The so-called "Pins Royale" experience has been unveiled as part of the new Kingpin Complex in Melbourne's Crown plaza.

It looks like a lot of fun -- if standing in a shiny-looking room while eating disgustingly rich food and playing a game designed largely for children and drunk people is your thing.

An evening spent experiencing the "Pins Royale" package begins when you and up to 149 of your friends are met "at your private street entrance by your event butler," according to the Kingpin Complex website.

You'll also "be privy to karaoke, butler service, premium bar options and elegant canapes such as freshly shucked oysters with ponzu dressing."

There are also wagyu beef sliders covered in mapled pancetta and truffle honey mustard. Those are burgers with a stick shoved through 'em, for those playing at home.

Oh, and the bowling balls are gold. Because, um, that enhances your bowling experience, somehow.

So there you have it. Next time you start thinking about the damage capitalism is causing to the environment, remember that without gentrification and the exploitation of labor, people richer than you wouldn't be able to bowl with gold balls in a gold room.
