The Neonopolis complex was built in 2001, opening in May 2002. It heralded the beginning of the revival of downtown Las Vegas and features antique neon signs from the city’s past, together with an open-air shopping mall, a food court and entertainment centre, which includes the Neonopolis Cinema. It was built on land (part of) which had contained the 1972 built, Cinema 1-2-3.
There is a free-standing ticket office located on the sidewalk at the Northeast corner of 4th Street and East Fremont Street. It has signage giving the name ‘Neonopolis 14’, maybe three screens have been closed? Whatever the answer is, the Galaxy Neonopolis 11 was closed by the Galaxy Theatre Corporation in May 2009.

Three photographs I took in January 2009:

This mall has done pretty well given that it’s in DTLV. I saw some empty storefronts the last time I was in that area, however. The theater is on one of the upper floors.
This theater closed in May 2009
I remember passing by this theatre back when I visited Las Vegas in May 2009 (shortly after it closed). It was an empty shell that seemed to have everything still there (there were even sun-faded standees of early 2008 releases still in the building).
I was the opening GM of the Crown Neonopolis 14. It was a very nice theatre for it’s location. The city’s parking debacle is what killed this location. Everybody knows that YOU DO NOT PAY TO PARK IN VEGAS. Especially if you live there.
I hate to hear that this theatre closed. I always stay at the Golden Nugget when I’m in Vegas, so would walk to see a movie. ‘Hancock’ and ‘Under the Same Moon’ come to mind. I didn’t get to make my annual trip last year, so I guess that’s why I had no idea it had shut down. A shame, usually after a busy week of gambling and partying on the strip it was nice to spend an evening at the Neonopolis before my flight home to NC :*(
I saw about four, forgettable movies here with my wife. I enjoyed the theater, though, and was wondering what happened to it.
