You can arrive as early as an hour before the movie starts. Get there early to claim your space, enjoy a picnic, take a ride on The Carousel, and enjoy the evening with your friends and neighbors.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS? Living in the Las Vegas desert, we don’t tend to see too much rain around here, although we do get some showers during the summer months.
