West Wind Las Vegas 5 Drive-In

Love Love Love this place! It’s way more affordable then the regular theater and still shows the new releases. Its my go to for family night or date night. We lay down all the seats in my minivan, back it in and kick back! The staff is awesome and super friendly too and I’m glad they have real restrooms! If I had a critic to make it would be the pavement, definetly needs a facelift I always worry I’m going to get a flat driving through but I NEVER have!

So, my fiancé had never been to the drive in EVER in life and because he’s a big comic book fan I decided to take him to the drive in to see Star Wars. First, seeing a grown man get excited that he can watch and eat whatever he wants in his car.priceless.
Tickets: tickets are $ 7.50/person, which if you’ve been to an AMC movie theatre lately is a STEAL!
Food: they have a snackbar that serves a plethora of movie snacks which I found to be much cheaper than going to a movie theatre with more options. I’m almost certain I saw a woman making snow cones for a family. Also, the candy ranged from $ 2.50-$ 4.50, which again is CHEAPER than going to the AMC theaters. Also, you can bring in your own snacks or food if you so choose. which is awesome. No one will side eye you for brining a Tupperware of spaghetti.
It’s a great place for families, first dates, or if you’re like us. a seasoned couple for a Friday night out.

Movie was great. Get there early for sure idol want a good spot. The have ushers who take you to a spot after the movie starts an actually that is a great help.

Drive-​In movie theaters are still pretty cool! This is especially true for families with young children. Watching in the comfort of your own vehicle allow the kids to make as much noise inside without bothering other movie-​goers. Enjoy your own food and drink or make your way to the concession stand nearby.
Multiple-​screens with first-​come first-​serve parking at $ 7.50 a person, count me in. Children 4 and under are free. Many of the ticket price covers double features (so watch Jungle Book followed by Captain America 3!)
The concession stand is relatively cheap compared to standard theater prices with all your typical movie snack fare: popcorn, nachos, Nathan’s hotdogs, churros, candy, and more. Right outside of the concession stand, a little park with a few slides can entertain the little ones while you wait for the show to start.
Looking around, you’ll see many different setups. People parked in reverse, trunks wide open. People lying down on the backs of their trucks’ trunks. Even kids sitting on top of their van’s roof. Of course, you can just park normal, recline your chair, tune-​in to the assigned F.M. radio station and enjoy your movie.
The one thing you need to consider is your car battery draining, especially during a long movie. Either keep your car on or at least start your car up every now and then so it doesn’t lose its charge. Fortunately, if you have your battery drain (like I did my first time at this theater), the staff will jump start your car with their portable, free of charge! Alternatively, bring a radio, or a headset that picks up the radio, prop down a few foldable lawn chairs, and watch outside your car.
Whether you’re out looking for a unique date night out, or you want to watch the coolest new movie release but can’t leave your kids behind, West Wind’s drive-​in theater is the place to be.

Its just blessing to live in a city with a drive in. Most have been destroyed and like most good things of the past have been swallowed up… The west wind has stood the test of time and I just love to come here. Maybe it reminds me of my childhood when my parents use to pile me and my brother up and take us to the drive in outside of Chicago (There is a super center there now) when I moved to Vegas I was so delighted to find the west wind. These days I am a empty nester but doesn’t stop me and hubby from driving in snuggling and watching a flick. West wind provides the PERFECT date night, TY west Wind

I really enjoyed it here I didn’t think I would but I did. The picture was good and the sound was too.

Fun thing to do with the family and kids been coming here since our youngest son was 2 he is now 9 and we now have 2 other kids as well it’s cheap and fun just load up the back of the truck with lots of snacks and drinks for the kids. One thing that I have to say that was a little disappointing we came last week to watch Superman versus Batman and they gave us a flyer at the gate for now serving iced coffee but went to purchase one and they said they weren’t serving them yet but that does not stop us from coming back because we are hear now as I write this lol

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. The weather was beautiful so we decided to come last night to see Batman vs Superman. It was Saturday night so there were long line of cars to get in.
The drive-​in is located near the North LV airport. Once you pay for your tickets, you’ll receive a receipt indicating which screen it’s playing on and what FM radio station you need to tune in to that movie. It’s $ 7.50 per person not per car. $ 5 Tuesday nights and kids are $ 1. There is no assigned numbered spot so it’s first come first serve. You’re allowed to bring whatever food and drinks but no grill or alcohol.
They have have a full service concession stand and the restroom are located there. They also a have arcade games there.
The place is good for family with kids but not for us. The kids were walking in front of us several times, the family next to us talked the whole time, we smelled smoke and helicopter were flying across every 20 mins. We won’t come back again but it was still an experience for me since it was my first at a drive in theater.

I recently went to a movie here. Brought me back to my childhood days. But now instead of putting that big heavy speaker in the car window you just have to tune into a radio station. The sound came in clean and the screen was clear. Not quit HD quality but not so poor that I couldn’t enjoy the movie. Signed up for their club online and got a coupon for $ 1.00 nachos, which I claimed with ease. I believe they only take cash so come prepared. And come early, the good spots go fast.

Having driven past this place for over a decade, finally got around to checking it out.
Never been to another drive in, nothing to compare it to, but I thought it was loads of fun and a different experience!
First, you pay for tickets at the gate, they take cash, visa/​mc and suggest adding on candy (cash only for candy). Tuesday is a $ 5 night and they offer a double feature– great value! Then they tell you the station to tune into for your sound, direct you to the right screen and off you go into the field with rows of what looks like giant speed bumps. Find your spot, tune in your radio and put your feet up!
Great things about drive in– you can bring your own whatever, awesome way to save $$. Also, you can stretch out as much as your car permits. I saw some people bring blankets and lay in the back of their SUV.
Lastly– you can talk all you want during the movie and enrich the experience of everyone in the car with your witty commentary.
Cons– I imagine whomever ends in the back seat has the worst view and experience ever, so as much as kids admission prices are amazing, if you are planning to sit inside your car, they probably won’t like it.
Restroom– I was plain and simple afraid I’d get lost on the way or get hit by a car, so I didn’t go looking for it.
If the driver isn’t very savvy, he will probably position in the car at an awkward angle and you might end up with part of your car’s frame obstructing your view (that would be me).
Also, I imagine your battery might die, luckily didn’t happen to me.
Overall– highly recommend.

I’m not sure why no one has mentioned that back in the olden days this location was fantastic.
However the city built up around them and it’s not dark enough to see the movies! The equipment hasn’t been updated since the 70s, and the sound was so bad we had an impossible time hearing our movie over the other two.
The cost is terrific, and the snacks are snacks, nothing to great or awful.
Maybe it’s just me? Several movies I’ve seen after they are released on DVD and finally got to see what was happening and hear some dialogue.

I have been coming here for many, many years and I have always been a fan!
We recently had a baby and the drive-​ins are basically our only option for getting in to see new movies. We have been during the summer and during the cold months and both are equally fun! You can’t beat the double feature prices!
My only complain is that they are right next to an airport so when you are trying to see the movies outside, you can’t hear over the helicopters next door (lol). Also, ¾ times of our recent visits, the popcorn has been OLD so we opted out the last time and our stomachs thanked us.
I would love to see them do some renovations and update a little more, but overall, it’s a great place!

It’s the only one in town. So it’s hard to compare. I’ll just say it’s worth it when the weather is perfect and that happens a lot here in Vegas. The crowds can be a little odd at times but we’ve never had a problem.
Sometimes the wafting smell of Mary Jane fills the air. I’m sure this quells the rambunctiousness if you know what I mean.
Popcorn comes with free refill.
Decent snack bar but who says you can’t stash everything in your car? That’s what makes it a real bargain.

Before 2015 I had not been to a Drive-​In theatre in over 25 years. The movie I saw way back when was, Friday the 13^th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. What an amazing movie that was. I am asontonished it did not win Movie of the year during the academy awards.
This year alone I have been to the West Wind Las Vegas 5 Drive-​In two times. My wife and I took our two daughters to see Inside-​Out and Home. West Wind Las Vegas 5 Drive-​In has done «free movie night» on certain occasions which is just too hard to pass up. Free movie night includes a mucial band, an inflateable bouncy castle, face paint, balloon animals and a dunk tank where kids could win free popcorn.
A drive in theatre, nothing like good old fashioned fun. Modern technology has done away with the speakers on a pole for drive i theatres and to me this makes parking just a little trickier. No parking lines here to help traffic with parking their vehices properly. Otherwise I would give five stars all the way.

We always have so much fun here and for Vegas’s sake I hope this never goes away. This is and old school style drive in and it really takes me back.
Most of the time they offer double features and on weekends or any day thats Hell of a deal. Grab the kids and stock up the cooler or if you opt to grab a bottle of bubbles and make it a date night. Whatever you do it’s sure is a great time for everyone. Weather you pile the back of the pick up with pillows and blankets or stay inside your car with the AC running or lawn chair it when the weather allows this is a place to be and such a bargain too.
The snack shack «Concession» is by all means no high end at all but it’s clean and they have tons of option. It like straight from a movie. It’s family friendly and super comfy no fuse just a down home good old time. The parking area is clean, the bathrooms are decant and the staff here are friendly. Last night was Luau Saturdays which means they have leis for everyone, a dance party by the kids play ground and offer a tiki cup Hawaiian shaved ice for $ 5. There’s also a few arcade games for teens who gets board and are too cool to hang.
$ 7 per adult kids 5 and up are $ 1 I think and young kids and babies are free. Tuesday are $ 5 family night and that makes it even better regardless you must come and have fun!

I’m a sucker for outdoor movies and since we don’t have any in NYC I really appreciated places that do have them.
You can either come and enjoy the movie in the convenience of your vehicle or bring some chairs and watch it under the stars.
The food at the concession stand isn’t that great but hey you aren’t coming here for the food so feel free to bring some food from home or the restaurant of your choice.
Its also very cheap I believe $ 7 – 8 per person and when you come in depending on which movie you are watching they tell you which radio station to tune in to.
If you live in Vegas or are visiting and want to catch a flick then this is your best option, love the whole 50s vibe.

I love going to this drive-​in! It reminds me of when I was a kid and we would go in my hometown.
It’s cheap and fun! The last time I went, though, we were watching the Spongebob movie and the screen to the left of it was playing Fifty Shades of Grey… seems like maybe they could have planned that better. Also, in the summer I won’t go because it’s like 110 degrees at night and I don’t want my car just sitting there running for 1 or 2 hours. But I love their nachos and they have big pickles!

This place was a great experience. Went last night, $ 7 per adult and $ 1 kids ages 5 – 11. I really loved it there. It did seem a little bit run down. But you could bring in your own food, which is a huge plus because theatre food is always expensive for a family of 5.
All the trash bins were overfilled. Lots of rubbish on the floor.
But it was a great experience

What’s not to love? It’s pretty much like watching a movie at the comfort of your own home. Basically for me your experience at the drive in theater is how you make it to be, preparedness is the key.
General admission is $ 7 and children ages 5 – 11 are only $ 1 each. Tuesdays is family fun night at $ 5 per person. Doors open at 6:45 pm, on the bottom of your receipt is the radio station you need to tune in for the audio, if you’d rather you can bring a boom box to spare your battery especially if you have an older vehicle. But no worries, if and when you encounter a dead battery, just ask a friendly staff to give you a jump and you’ll be on your merry way. They have a little play area for the kids while waiting for the movie to start.
This was our second visit with the family both times for animated movies, with each visit getting better. This time we came prepared, with comforters and blankets laid out on the bed of the truck (with all the excitement we forgot the pillows, lol oh well third time should be a charm) and a plethora of munchies for my herd (mental note: bring a cooler next time) Of course if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of bringing anything they offer a variety of movie theater staples: Nathans Hotdogs and cheeseburgers, nachos and popcorn, cotton candy, nestle products, Magnum and Breyers ice cream, Pepsi products and other cold treats.
This definitely is a fun little excursion especially when it starts warming up, it’s affordable enough to gather your troop and their friends without breaking your bank.

I’ve always been a fan of Drive-​Ins. You get to lay back and relax. No need to worry about someone kicking your chair or talking throughout the entire movie. And the best part, you can be a Chatty Cathy if you want. Eat, make inappropriate jokes, basically whatever you want in the comfort of your car without worrying about bothering fellow movie goers. I love the fact that I can do whatever I want because I usually do. Suits my personality. :p
During the summer nights the heat can be unbearable so I prefer to go in the fall. It’s so much better to snuggle up next to someone than sweating buckets and trying to pay attention to your movie. No bueno lol. I always come prepared with blankets & pillows. You should too otherwise you’ll freeze your bunz off. But hopefully your date will keep you warm. ;)
It’s located next to the North Las Vegas Airport. This is cool if you’re into aviation. You can sometimes see the planes coming & going. Even get a glimpse of them parking in their hanger. The road is a bit bumpy, you’ll notice this as soon as you pull in. If you’re one of those people that adores your car, proceed with caution. There’s a small playground for the kiddos to burn some energy between movies or after potty breaks. Very convenient. The snack bar is pretty standard. I do bring my own snacks from time to time cause they don’t always have what I want. Twix & hot cheetos for me please, don’t judge me.
Admission is very affordable and it’s a fun option for date-​nights or family nights. Double features are the way to go. Great bang for your buck.
