Parks and Recreation

I LOVE that the cities have such great parks and recreation departments. These are quick links to the summer editions of the parks and rec brochures. Look closely as there are usually LOTS of free classes and/or events:

City of Henderson

City of Las Vegas

City of North Las Vegas

Clark County

Boulder City

Las Vegas Drive-In

Joe had a great idea to check out the Drive-In for family night. I had wanted to go too so I could do a good post on it here since I can't find much information about it on the web. So, here's what I have:

Vegas 4 Drive-In Theatre

4150 West Carey Avenue, North Las Vegas, NV 89032

(702) 646-3565

Here is a list of what is playing and times. Admission is $6.25 per adult & $1 per child over 5 (I am assuming that is the age limit since we had to pay for our 5 & 8 yr old, but not our 3 & 1 yr olds)
** Special Tuesday Price $4.25 - not sure if children are cheaper as well on this day **

Some important notes:

*They only take cash but there is an ATM in the consession stand*

*Gates open an hour before the show*

*There is a playground and arcades at the consession stand*

*Lots of fun!*

(It really was fun, despite Jake's face - his favorite "alien" was just beheaded - taumatic)

Another plus is the kids may be alseep on the way home ;-)
