| - The Eclipse Theater is not just a night out at the movies, this place is an experience. As you walk in you look around and wonder if you are in the right place. I ask myself, "Am I checking into a 5 star resort or am I going to the movies"!? The front receptionist asks us what movie we would like to enjoy. How nice, she wants to know what I would enjoy, I like this girl already!
Tickets are $18 each and can be purchased online (recommended so you can pick your seat) or at the front desk. With our tickets in hand we venture off to the lounge I've been told is a "must see" with a gorgeous view of the Downtown Art District, plush chairs and stools, and a bar! We are served food and drink menus and told that we can order at the bar or in the theater. They will serve us dinner and drinks inside the Theater while we watch the movie!? I ask to clarify if I'm hearing correctly because this I have NOT experienced before in a Vegas movie theater. Yes, we have upgraded to full service dining, with amazing food I must add!
Food/Drink:
Bottle of wine for $45 (J.Lohr "Seven Oaks" Cabarnet) at the lounge, highly recommend!
Check in on Yelp for a free glass of Sangria! Yes Please :) You have to do this with the server and I'm recommending to do this during the previews, or some mean dude behind you might scold you for having your phone on for the first 4 seconds of the movie!
Buffalo Chicken Flatbread with Celery Confetti (I totally couldn't figure out what I was eating in the dark so I had to look it up on the menu after the show) This is probably the best flatbread, chicken, confetti creation I have ever eaten.
Caprese Bites were pretty small portions and I probably wouldn't get those again, but the flatbread was so incredibly delicious we still filled our bellies to the max!
The theater is perfect....absolutely fit for the perfect date night out! They have comfortable recliners with drink holder tables that swivel and give you a tray front and center of your reclining experience to enjoy your meal. If I created a home theater, these cool tray tables would be on my recliner chairs! Perfection in sound and picture would be an understatement. This was hands down the best movie watching experience I've ever had. I really like the adult movie theater trend with shows before 6pm being okay for under 21, but all movie show times after 6pm are for adults, over 21 + only.
Thank you Eclipse Theater for making downtown home, love it!
