A construction crane on Thursday lifted the first set of walls for a new 14-screen movie theater in North Las Vegas, providing the first concrete evidence of redevelopment in the city’s blighted downtown area. “This project is a great catalyst in helping to redefine the vision of downtown,” said Gina Gavan, economic and business development director for North Las Vegas. “It gives us a lot of hope and inspiration for what’s to come.” The $75 million Maya Entertainment Center is taking shape on a dirt lot across the street from North Las Vegas City Hall will span more than 67,000 square feet by the time it opens around Christmas. City officials said the arrival of Maya Cinemas could draw other businesses and housing to a redeveloped downtown neighborhood tentatively known as Lake Mead Village West.
