closed Giveaway: Dave & Buster's: FREE room rental & 25%more game play + GIVEAWAY!!!

I have to admit that I have not had a chance to go to Dave and Buster's yet, but I have heard it is a ton of fun!! Lots of friends have told me it is the perfect fun night out for grown ups (One friend described it as Chuck E Cheese for adults but even better!) I know they are a fun place for dates and to just go hang out, but did you know they have party rooms there as well?!
They do, and I think it would be a fantastically fun place to go for a company, holiday, or family party! And guess what?! They have a great promotion going on right now!! If you book a party early, you can get free room rental AND 25% more game play. This offer is only valid if booked before November 24th, so you will want to contact a Dave and Buster's planner today on their website.
As a bit of information from Dave and Buster's, "Each location is designed to accommodate any kind of gathering with a complete restaurant and an arcade full of the hottest games. With party rooms ranging from the giant Showroom to the Small Party Room, Dave & Buster’s is the place for parties of all sizes – party planners can even rent out the whole place! Attached is a Holiday Guide that covers the various party options."
