Galaxy Theatres in North Las Vegas offers the ultimate luxury in your movie going experience

For years my husband and I have gone to movies that offered sticky floors, cramped seats, and a stampede to get to the best seats available when the doors opened. But this past weekend all that changed.

We decided to head out to the Cannery Casino to test out the new Luxury + concept that they are offering inside Galaxy Theatres. It proved to be wildly successful at the Green Valley location, so now it has expanded into North Las Vegas.

If first impressions are incredibly important, this place did not disappoint. It felt less like a movie theatre, and more like we were inside a high end Las Vegas or Broadway show. The lobby was spacious, neat and offered great scenery to view while waiting to enter your theatre.

The snack bar was ridiculous. While it does offer traditional fare like candy, popcorn and soda, it also offers items you would never expect. Beer and wine were available as well as gourmet hot dogs with topping choices such as bacon, pickle spears, and poppy seeds. And they tasted every bit as good as they sound. If you can’t find anything to eat here, you definitely are not trying.

But we went to this place for the movie, so we were still holding out judgment.

The seats themselves are as comfortable as any you will ever find. They recline completely with the touch of a button, and you can freeze them at whatever position you find most comfortable. The aisles give you plenty of room and you no longer have to worry about people squeezing by to pass you, or someone constantly kicking the back of the seat. Here you are completely free just as if you were watching the movie in the comfort of your own media room.

There is one difference though. The screens here feature digital projection and 7.1 Dolby digital surround sound on the largest movie screens in Las Vegas. It truly is the best way to watch a movie. And to the credit of Galaxy Theatres, although you will enjoy a much better movie going experience, that doesn’t come with a great increase in price. Prices are pretty much in line with the rest of the movie theatres in town.

When we left, we had mixed reviews about the movie “About Last night,” but we both had rave reviews for Galaxy Theatres. I am not really sure how we could go back to a standard theatre after that. We would like to thank the incredibly friendly staff for their kindness during our visit, and encourage everyone who visits this site to check them out. It really is the only way to watch a movie with all the comforts of home, but the feel of getting to go out on the town.
