If you open the Red Rock theater again please post the opening date a few months in advance. I don’t live in Vegas anymore, but would come out just for your opening day to see the sight and bring back some great memories. Would love to see if the projector rooms and such are the same, used to have to run all over the place to get all 11 movies running on time, would love to see it all again. Best wishes for your endeavors, I think playing moves from the 80’s & 90’s in the theater might be very profitable, especially if you have the whole place set up like the 80’s (arcades and such), wow, blast from the past….
I was one of the assistant managers at this theater back in 1988 / 89. Remember when the movie “Colors” came out, all the thugs came to see that movie, wild crowd but no fights, gangs were really the new thing back then.
It was a fairly nice theater back in those days, with first run movies playing, not a discount theater. I was working the day the plant blew up in Henderson (believe it was producing rocket fuel). The explosion didn’t break the door class but it blew the doors open, that was an experience.
Things for posting the photos, it really brought back alot of good memories of a fine place. They do not make movie theaters like this anymore, it was a wonderful place to work and enjoy a show.
Wow, guys really love the photos, have saved them to my computer, talk about bringing back some good memories. Thanks for posting the photos, it is worth alot to me.
Wow, it’s a blast reading everyones post on the old redrock, I really enjoy them and laugh at all the old memories. As a kid me and my friends would go to the cinedom across from cashman school. Used to go on saturday buy the first ticket and spend the whole day sneaking into all the movies. Must have saw rocky 3 20 times back then, lol.
I worked at the Red Rock 11 Theaters from 1985 to 1987. Started fresh out of the Marine Corps, worked my way from usher up to In-house manager. Had a great time at the place and worked with a great group of people, enjoyed every day at that job. It was challenging to run the projectors, sometimes you would have to run across the rooftop to the other side of the theater to start the movie on time, it was great.
The architecture of the place was incredible; you don’t see theaters built like that anymore. There were two snack counters, one in the town square and one on the other side and for awhile we had an ice cream parlor in it and an arcade along with a nice couple who ran a little sales booth with trinkets and such.
I left Vegas in 1991 came back five years later to discover the theater was closed, by the time I came back again, 3 years later, it was torn down after the fire. Still saw some of the old floor tiles on the empty lot, brought back some great memories of old friends.
I was probably one of the managers you talked to when your cars got broken into; I was only 19 years old when I started, caught one vandal once. Reading some of the post on this sight brought back some great memories, I am glad others recall the place fondly.
Man sad situation, always loved that place
