I was also in LV…and went here…in April of last year and saw the potholes & debris first hand.
Most of the fields have been resealed in 2013.
Goofy rename (no offense, Scott!).
It hasn’t been renamed officially… it’s still the Las Vegas drive-in — dunno who insisted it become the All Digital Drive-In… it would be the equivalent of naming every Cinemark “Best Seat in Town Cinemas”.
The 1984 Motion Picture Almanac lists it with four screens, suggesting an intermediate stage between one screen and six.
I think this might be the drive-in that the owners(names unknown?) wanted to close down(date unknown?), but the council would not left them!?
Original screen destroyed by a storm in 1998.
The 2nd, screen opened on March 17th, 1971. Grand opening ads posted.
Opened as a twin drive-in with on screen 1 with “ Horrors of Frankenstein” and “Scars of Dracula” and on screen 2 with “Brewster McCloud” and “The strawberry statement” and a World Championship boxing match(Frazier vs Ali! Direct from ringside, first time in colour).
West Wind drive-ins are still in the Syufy family and have been since 1940. Syufy changed its name to Century Cinemas and then later sold their indoor theaters, so they had to change their name to something else. Thus, West Wind. Some of their former drive-ins are now swap meets which they still run, such as the Coliseum Drive-In in Oakland.
