| - I love this place, with all it's divey charm. They have first run movies, and instead of paying $10-$11 bucks per movie, you can pay $6.75 and see two. No more sneaking a bottle of popcorn and a snack into the theater in your purse; the drive-in employees could not care less. People bring pizza, coolers with beer, and basically have a picnic. Oh, you want popcorn? They've got that at the concession stand, along with all your other movie standards. The prices for snacks are actually pretty reasonable compared to the regular theater as well.
My friend and I like to pull out our camp chairs and park them in front of the car when the weather's nice, which appears to be a common thing to do. Lots of families show up to partake of the cheap movies, and kids hang out in their pajamas. It's actually a pretty good place to take the kiddies; they have a playground, kids can get up and move a bit without anyone being bothered, they can talk without really disturbing anyone else, since you aren't all just on top of each other.
The only negatives: Not the best neighborhood in town, though the drivein itself seems perfectly fine. Next to a small airport. Helicopters flying overhead may occasionally make it hard to hear bits of your movie. It's a drivein, so although they have digital projection, it's still not necessarily the best picture.
In my opinion, it's worth going. It's good old fashioned fun for both adults and kids, and one of the best deals in Vegas.
