168 free and cheap movie screenings to get you through the summer
If you want to save money when taking your kids to the movies this summer, you could have them sit on each other’s shoulders under a trench coat and just pay one admission for all of them.
Or you could seek out the free outdoor screenings around the valley and the $1 film series at select Regal and Cinemark theaters.
And for a cheap date or night out with your friends, everything from “Casino” to “Jurassic World” is playing at the pools at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Green Valley Ranch.
