Actually opened on May 31st, 1996 by Act III-Santikos Theatres, and was originally called “Fiesta Trails Theatres”. The theater was taken over by Regal in 1998 when Act III was folded into Regal. This was initially supposed a 12 screen multiplex, but AMC had opened a location nearby and in retaliation, Act III/Santikos raised the screen count to 16.
Actually opened on May 10th, 1996 by Act III Theatres. Alongside other Act III properties at the time, it was taken over by Regal in 1998 when Act III and Regal merged. Renovated somewhere in the mid-2000s to include stadium seating in all auditoriums and a more modern look for the lobby and concession stand, with an IMAX screen being installed on December 19th, 2008. In the mid-2010s (early-2016, perhaps?), the auditoriums were retrofitted for recliners.
The IMAX screen at this theater is the only theater in Vegas to have a 1.43 IMAX screen, but problem is, the projectors are STILL xenons, therefore it can only open up to 1.90 and unfortunately enough, go up to 2K resolution. Not sure if Brenden will ever plan to replace the projectors for laser capabilities anytime soon.
Forgot to add on, the theater (alongside other operating Act IIIs at the time) was taken over by Regal Cinemas in 1998 when Act III and Regal merged, with Regal phrasing out the Act III name and rebranding Act III’s locations to Regals instead.
Opened in 1986 by Luxury Theatres, and was taken over in 1989 by Act III Theatres when they acquired Luxury. The theater underwent extensive remodeling in 2004 to include a new entrance, look, and stadium seating (in all of the auditoriums). In 2010, the Alderwood became one of the first Regal locations to feature an RPX when auditorium 1 was retrofitted for it, and in 2016, was retrofitted once more, now including recliners in all the auditoriums.
Oh, and the theater now goes by “Alderwood Stadium 7 & RPX”, according to the Regal app.
Originally a United Artists theatre, and was taken over by Regal when Regal, UA and Edwards merged to form Regal Entertainment Group in late 2002. Regal sold it off to AMC in June 2010, and was later renovated in 2014 with recliners, digital projection, and a new “look” (that’s just the same as the others).
Yes, plans emerged back in July. The theater and casino site, alongside the Fiesta Rancho site adjacent to the Texas Station are looking to be redeveloped into a mix of commercial and residential uses, such as housing, a sports complex, a shopping center and a hotel.

It’s about time Vegas finally got a proper indie theater (rest in peace to the Village Square). The Beverly is a great addition, but it’s few downsides are a huge turn off for me. For example, the rereleases and indie content the Beverly gets are one of the main reasons to go, not to mention the phenomenal 4K (laser, I assume) projector they use, the 7.1 sound system, and the snack assortments they feature. However, a huge turn off for me are the flimsy armrests on the seats, the stale and WAY too salty popcorn, and the smaller than average screen. It’s a great theater, but a few adjustments could easily skyrocket it to even higher levels. I’d definitely recommend going if they’re showing a once in a lifetime film. If not, and if they are showing something else that is also being shown at another theater in the city, I’d rather just go over there instead.
Remodeled and rebranded into a Regal Cinemas location sometime in the early 2020s not long after Cineworld acquired Regal and gave their flagship theatres a makeover.
The Alamo Quarry actually opened on March 20th, 1998 by Act III Theatres. The grand opening ad can be seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/randallblaum/3155610615/in/album-72157611969735042/
The final films shown at the Village Square on February 12th, 2023 were:
Titanic (25th anniversary rerelease, in RealD 3D), 80 For Brady, Knock at the Cabin, The Amazing Maurice, Pathaan, The Wandering Earth 2, Missing, Plane, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Avatar: The Way of Water (in RealD 3D, with HFR).
Opens the day Titanic originally released, and closes with Titanic being one of the final films being shown there. Brings a tear into my eye.
Not really, since Regal is trying to renegotiate the leases with the owner of the property to keep operating the theater. If all else fails, then it’ll close, and like you said, there could be some potential of other theater chains purchasing the locations.
Like the Texas Station, this Regal, alongside the casino itself, closed on March 17th, 2020 and was announced to be demolished in July 2022, which began on September 12th, 2022 and finished sometime near October-November 2022.
Keep in mind that not all of the Regal theatres on that list will close. While some will close, the majority of the leases for the theaters will be renegotiated.
This theater actually opened on August 18th, 1995, according to the former Vice President of Marketing for Act III, Randall Blaum, on his “Texas 12 Theatre Opening” album on Flickr, which can be seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/randallblaum/albums/72157612021278909
Additionally, the theater and the casino itself began demolishment on September 12th, 2022, and finished sometime near October-November 2022, alongside the Fiesta Henderson Regal.
Opened on December 19th, 1997 by Act III Theatres. The name was originally supposed to be “Wellington 18”, but was later changed to “Village Square 18”.
Now referred to as “Cinemark Century Santa Fe Station 16 and XD”, according to the Cinemark website.
Now referred to as “Cinemark Century Orleans 18 and XD”, according to the Cinemark website.

And no, for those wondering what the theater is in the background, it is NOT the Gateway, but rather the Lloyd Center, up in Portland, Oregon.

Reverted back to playing first run movies.

Appears to still be open. The website has showtimes for newer releases up.

What a crying shame that the theater got demolished too. It just hurts to look at this photo.

Yeah, I agree with that, though XD’s projectors aren’t as vibrant and sharp as RPX’s.
I think Auro 11.1 is more precise and has more energy than Dolby Atmos, but you do you.
