Five Super-Cool Movie Theaters That Are Uniquely "Vegas"

Maya Cinemas North Las Vegas

For our next cool movie palace, we head back to North Las Vegas to discover Maya Cinemas. This brand-spanking-new multiplex boasts over a dozen auditoriums with technology like D-Box motion seats, Dolby Atmos sound, laser projection, Real-D 3D, and MPX large-format screens. But what truly makes Maya Cinemas unique is their parent company's commitment to the community:

Maya Cinemas was chartered in 2000 with a mission to develop, build, own, and operate modern, first-run, megaplex movie theaters in under-served, family-oriented, Latino-dominant communities. Maya Cinemas opened its doors in North Las Vegas to bring state-of-the-art movie-going to an area of Las Vegas seeing rapid growth of new business.

Maya Cinema's operating philosophy is apparent in its commitment to local scholarship programs and the Maya Community Foundation.  Ticket prices are noticeably lower than the competition, as are snacks and a full dining menu.  "Date Night Monday" features two tickets, two drinks, and two popcorns for only $24. Families can enjoy special prices on all seats every Tuesday. Wednesday is Senior Day, and there are special "Maya Cares" presentations geared toward guests with sensory issues. 

Another thing that makes Maya Cinemas worth the drive (just a few minutes from Fremont Street near Jerry's Nugget Casino) is its unique selection of films. Blockbuster titles share space with quirky art films, Spanish-language imports, and encore presentations of classic titles. The lobby boasts Energi Game Room and the Maya Cantina, where you can enjoy a cocktail or take it into the auditorium. And the Maya Rewards Program ensures that you'll want to come back often to earn and redeem freebies. 

Maya Cinemas is located at 2195 North Las Vegas Boulevard.
