MOVIES

Galaxy Theatres Luxury+ Boulevard

It’s being billed as the largest movie theater screen in Las Vegas. The world’s first Sony Digital Cinema, opening Friday along with the rest of the new Galaxy Theatres location at the Boulevard Mall, boasts a curved screen that’s 40 feet tall and 70 feet wide. Other auditoriums at the multiplex offer immersive Dolby Atmos sound and D-Box motion seats. And no new movie theater would be complete without a cafe and full-service bar.
