Located on the north side of the property it almost looked like a huge golf ball. The Omnimax featured laid back seating with surround sound and an overhead screen encompassing the entire range of vision. Plagued from the beginning with leaks in the screen it still lasted nearly 21 years closing in 2000. Pictured in 1980 from the Caesars Palace Collection and shared via UNLV Libraries Digital Collections.</p>
