#MAYA CINEMAS NORTH LAS VEGAS PHOTOS MOVIE#

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. While the location might seem puzzling to some, it was deliberately chosen in keeping with the company’s mission statement. It’s only a few minutes from the NEON Museum, and next to old-time locals casinos Silver Nugget and Jerry’s Nugget. The Las Vegas location is their first in Nevada. So…no concession sales equals no movie theater.

The vast percentage of your admission price goes back to the studios who make the movies. And before you complain about snack prices, keep in mind that food and beverage sales are what keep your local movie house in business, not ticket sales. For instance, a large drink/popcorn combo runs $10 at MAYA, compared to over $16 at AMC Town Square. While their ticket prices are in line with bigger brands like Regal and Cinemark, snack prices are remarkably reasonable. MAYA Cinemas, on the other hand, is a more economical alternative. Expensive $18 movie tickets certainly didn’t help.

That pricey restaurant/bar/cinema hybrid reportedly failed to connect with movie-goers, and remains dark for the eight month. The high-tech complex began operations in early 2019, but was apparently overshadowed by the hype surrounding downtown’s ECLIPSE Theaters. And it’s definitely worth a visit.Īs an avid movie buff (and former manager for AMC Theaters) who attends film screenings at least three times per week, it pains me to admit that the expansion of MAYA Cinemas to Las Vegas escaped me. But a gorgeous new indoor multiplex on the north side is shaking things up. Alas, the only apparent winner from a business perspective has been West Wind Las Vegas drive-in, which I’ve reported on several times. With so little live entertainment currently available in Las Vegas, some of us who yearn for something to do have been rediscovering the cinemas. Unconventional theater chain favors quirky gems over mainstream hits…
