| - I'm sticking this at 3 stars but it can sway up or down a notch depending on the visit.
I have 2 daughters...savvy little things, not snobby in the least who will go anywhere, be it dive or deluxe. This is a dive. And that's not always a bad thing, but here, you never know. Most visits it really is fairly clean and well staffed/managed. Some nights, quite the opposite.
That being said, I really have to keep my complaints at a minimum because when we do go it is usually not just me and da girlz... It is me and my best bud, The Old Woman In The Shoe. Together, we are a tribe. She's a single mom with a 22yr old daughter, 3 adopted sons, and at present count, 5 foster kids ranging in age from 8 months to 16 yrs. That brings our number to 14 if we manage to drag my honey along. So, affordable is good!
As it is so affordable, they expect you to buy your goodies right there and purse check at the door. I hate that, but can't say I blame them. Now, as far as treats go, we were blown away with how good the popcorn was at our last visit (Tron). It beat the hell out of the crappy kernels we've gotten at The Palm recently.
So, if you're low on funds but still wanna take the brood to the movies, stash your false bottomed purse full of candy and juice pouches from Walgreens, throw in hand sanitizer and bleach wipes and go slummin' at Tropicana Cinemas. It keeps the kids from getting too spoiled and snooty!
