Yeah, those things are so random. A couple of the places I ate at while in Las Vegas were categorized as Travel/Entertainment, in my opinion they were restaurants 100%, lol. The violators were The Pantry at the Mirage and Five50 Pizza at Aria. 
Both good food though.

I love Five50 Pizza. Had awesome meal there in early May. Thehostess thigh irritated me to no end. Walked in and wanted to sit at the bar so I could watch The Players Championship golf on TV. Hostess said all the TV were being watched and that they have a policy of no golf on tvs. I was like 'uh, there's one person at the bar so they aren't all being watched and that has to be the dumbest policy I've ever heard. I was about to leave to go find somewhere else to watch it when a manager who apparently had overheard the conversation came over and said 'Please don't leave, of course we will put the golf on a TV for you'. I'm sure the hostess got an earful. But on topic, a lot of the Vegas restaurants like that get coded as travel/entertainment. . I try to always to put the charges on my hotel bill to at least ensure I get the 3X bonus from either Chase or Citi

I was just looking at my account and the posted charges trying to see if my Six Flags payment went through to get the 5% on that and I just happened to expand the charge from the bowling alley. It was actually categorized as "Eating Places and Restaurants"!!!! So I get the 5% on that charge instead of the 1% I was assuming I'd get back.
Not a spectacular amount spent, but still surprising to see a bowling alley categorized as an Eating Place/Restaurant as opposed to Entertainment.
Bowling for dollars!!
Well played!

Tell me about it. I just knew my Freedom was good for 5% cashback when we ate at the seafood restaurant at Treasure Island. Then the charge posted and all it was was the 1% since it coded as Entertainment. I would've been better off using my QS in this instance. Vegas gets you coming or going...LOL.
