| - Unfortunately it appears the Wednesday night "Insomniac Cinema" 35mm classics have been suspended, as they have not appeared on any 2010 printed schedules. Adding insult to injury, the Pinball Museum - the arcade/Xanadu for pinball and video game enthusiasts - has moved out of spitting distance (it's a few miles west on Tropicana, but the two businesses used to share a common wall,). However the best parts about this discount cinema remain.
$1.50 second-run movies, $1.00 Tuesday movies, and reasonably priced concessions - deals you can't find at any other theater in town. If you miss that 1980's sensation of your feet sticking to the floor, having to try 3 seats before finding one that isn't broken, and maybe even having your view blocked by the basketballer in front of you (don't worry, the place usually isn't that crowded,) then support the Tropicana Cinemas. It's closed and come back a few times, but if any business can succeed in the current economy it's an economy theater.
The past 2 movies I've seen at this theater were only a few days or weeks from DVD release, but I wanted to get out of the house and only spend a few bucks, and my mission was accomplished.
