Remember when Century did that whole either/or gimmick in some locations? The rows would alternate between rockers and love seats which was a pain when you know you wanted a rocker, but the perfect row was full.
I recall seeing one film here, All Access: Front Row. Backstage. Live! back in 2001. The most notable thing about this auditorium (other than the unique aspect ratio) was the seating itself. Due to extremely steep rake, each row was essentially on it’s own level accessed by a long winding ramp up. Once seated, the railing essentially became a semi-lap bar (otherwise it would block the screen). Now, obviously this theatre was built with an attraction in mind that would have a much shorter cycle time than a full length film so they would have to raise the railing if someone needed to get up to go use the restroom.
Growing up in Vegas in the 80s and 90s we would always go bowling at Gold Coast, but I only ever remember seeing one movie there - Drop Zone around Christmas time 1994. The biggest thing I remember was that the auditorium had a curtain opening sequence.
Was just at The Mayan for Masterbeat’s big NYE party on 12/31/15. Very well kept interior even though it gets a lot use as a nightclub. Wish they had some lighting in the auditorium ceiling like The Belasco does next door.
Regal Colonnade 14 is one of a small handful of non-casino based theatres left in Vegas.
Opened in the late 90’s, this suburban multiplex typically plays family fare to complement the more adult and sometimes indie playlist at Green Valley Ranch Cinemas 10 right up the road (which also a Regal outfit).
Added photo of entrance. As of March 2013 – $5 matinee shows, non-digital projection, no stadium seating.
Two snack bars available built per usual UA standards where originally you could not renter the lobby after proceeding to your auditorium. Exit was made via doors that fed directly to parking. AMC does not use this.
Carries the train station theme of the casino. Upon opening had a decorative flip-board above the concession stand that would actually flip from time to time.
Like the other early Station Casino multiplexes, retrofitted with stadium seating in the early 2000s which reduced capacity in some auditoriums and eliminated the gentle curved rows that previously let you see between the heads of those in front.
Still showing first runs in an all digital environment. $4.75 matinees (up a quarter in Fall 2012). Using the Cinemark refillable popcorn bucket and drink cup means a very affordable day/night at the cinema.
No stadium seating but you have your choice of rocker or moving arm-rest (very late 90’s Century-esque).
My only true gripe is that some of the smaller, non-dome screens tend to have a single center aisle instead of two on the side meaning no center seating for those of us who “require” that.
“All love seats and recliners”

Semi-stadium seating arrangement has come with the nee recliner seats. Features a rise of about 6" between rows.
Theatre was renovated in 2014 to include reserved recliner seating, upgraded curved wall-to-wall screens and refreshed public areas.
Two auditoriums – nine and ten – have been remodeled into Cinemark’s XD format.

Visited this multiplex for the first time I’m December 2012 to catch a showing of HITCHCOCK.
Posted two photos of the entrance.
Opened as a part of the Act III Theatres chain.
