El Portal Theater - Las Vegas, Nevada

Address:310 Fremont Street
Las Vegas, Nevada

Opened by former Las Vegas Mayor Ernie Cragin and William Pike in 1928, the theater, located downtown at 310 Fremont Street, was the city's first movie house. The quaint hacienda-style exterior is all that remains of the original historic architecture. The interior of the theater has been completely removed, but, in El Portal's former glory days, it used to include box seats with leather chairs for the more upscale patrons.
