The Cactus Theatre opened in the late-1940’s, a Quonset-hut style movie house that could seat just over 300. Mainly a second-run house for much of its life, the Cactus Theatre did show action, kung-fu and “blaxploitation” films during the 1970’s.

One of its most successful screenings ever was in 1972 when it became only the second theatre in Nevada to show the pornographic hit, “Deep Throat”. Towards the end, ironically, the Cactus Theatre played a lot of Disney fare. It closed in 1997. The theare reopened again, as the Cinadome Theatre, but was closed in 2012.

Anyone know where in town the Mineralite Drive-in was? I assume there are no traces left, but in an area that unpopulated, you never know.
