Did you know Las Vegas has a drive-in theater? Here’s your chance to check it out and see three free movies.

As they have done every year for the last several years, the The West Wind Las Vegas 5 Drive-In is hosting Customer Appreciation Night with free movies to the public on Thursday, April 19, 2012.

Drive-In Theatres across the country are benefiting from a resurgence in demand with revenues outpacing traditional “walk-in” theatres. Drive-in movie attendance is up by double digits again this year and the West Wind Las Vegas Drive-In has reaped the benefits.

Patrick LaCava, Senior Vice President of Operations explains that “value seems to be the major reason drive-ins are growing.”  Tickets to the drive-in are only $6.50 per adult, and kids 5-11 years old are just $1.00, while kids 4 and under are free.  Plus, you get double features each night, instead of just one movie at the indoor theaters.  LaCava continues “A family of four can see two first run movies for just $13.00, or $15.00 if you have kids between 5-11 years old.”

Tony Maniscalco, Vice President of Marketing is thrilled that people are re-discovering the family fun of the drive-in. “Parents bring their kids to watch the first movie then the kids fall asleep in the back seat while the parents watch the second movie. It’s the perfect baby sitter.”

Drive-ins presentation has changed considerably over the years yet the nostalgic feeling remains The biggest improvement in presentation is the addition of Technalight, which produces a picture seven times brighter than before along with upgraded Dolby stereo sound that comes right through your car stereo.  West Wind’s snack bar also offers delicious well-known brands at a fraction of the cost you find at conventional theatres.

The West Wind Drive-Ins are taking this great value one step further with Free Movie Customer Appreciation Night on Thursday, April 19, featuring recent movie blockbusters The Lorax, Journey 2 and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. “We are opening up our Drive-Ins as we do twice every year to thank our loyal customers and to invite those who have not yet experienced the drive-in to give it a try.  We typically show first run movies every night but on Customer Appreciation Night we give everyone a chance to catch up on the best movies of the past few months.” Maniscalco explains.  “Bring a chair and a blanket and enjoy your movie under the stars and moonlight” adds LaCava.

Gates will open at 6 pm and movies will start at 8 pm.  There will also be live music, bounce houses, face painters and more.  No strings attached, just show up and get in for FREE!
