For a generation of west-side Las Vegas kids, 3200 South Decatur meant movie night.
Cinedome opened there in 1980 with six screens and eventually expanded to twelve. The theater was known for its distinctive domed auditoriums, curved screens, big open lobby, and an arcade that gave you somewhere to burn time before the previews started.
Long before luxury recliners and reserved seating, Cinedome was simply part of growing up in Las Vegas. First dates, Friday nights with friends, family movies, popcorn, quarters for the arcade, and trying to decide what everyone was actually willing to see.
For the Locals who remember it, though, those two red domes still mean one thing: somebody was taking you to the movies.
