Hollywood Theaters Horizon

This place is as terrible. So glad they tore it do n and proper establishment is coming in. Viva The Hard Rock!

The walk through the casino to get to the theater was simply disgusting. We all felt as though we had smoked a pack of cigarettes after our walk through the hotel and casino. At the theater, the staff was friendly, the seats were comfortable, but there is nothing else positive to say about the whole experience. The place is a dump– filthy dirty, and the women’s bathrooms should be condemned.

This is a dump, like the Casino, as others have commented. If you want to take your kids to somewhere pleasant, and not walk them past the equivalent of a football stations of tired drunks playing slots, I suggest any other theater in the area, especially those in Carson. Fandango made a mistake on our tickets and there was a small overcharge. I was told to see the manager, Stephen. They refused an 11 dollar refund on an $ 80 charge and were snotty about it when I suggested taking the overcharge in popcorn. Had they accommodated me, I’d consider going back if I didn’t have kids with me and it was the only place a movie I liked was playing. I’d rather patronize other theaters that clean their carpets more than once every ten years and have seats that are at least somewhat comfortable.

Movie theater. In a casino. That’s about it. Friendly folks.

The movie theater itself is fine. Big screens in an intimate setting. I just saw Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips and I felt like I could see the nose hairs up his nostrils. Kinda like Imax without the high def. The seats have seen better days, but comfy enough. $ 8 for a matinée? Okay. I can live with that when it’s a bit cheaper in Reno and Carson. And when I rebelled against paying $ 5.75 for bottled water, they happily gave me a nice sized cup of cold water. But dear God, the BATHROOMS here are atrocious. They are outside in the lobby in the hallway connecting the theater to the casino. If there’s a museum for the world’s worst art, the curator needs to come in here and check out the awful paintings on the wall. A handyman needs to come in and fix the cheap wood paneling and wallpaper and paint peeling off the walls. And the housekeepers need to check the toilet paper situation. My stall had none.

Great customer service! You cannot beat it! We came over here because heavenly village didn’t have the time we wanted on a specific movie. Part of the regal rewards movie theaters. Very clean, air conditioned inside which kept it chilly, love that. Definitely will come back!

We were hesitant to go here because the Horizon is such a dump but we were pleasantly surprised! Very clean and not very busy.

As a local, this is my first choice of movie theater to go to. Unless they aren’t showing a movie I really want to see.
It never gets too crowded. That’s what I love about it. Then again, I always pick a day to go when I know it would be slow for them. It’s a lot smaller than movie theaters I am use to in LA, and that doesn’t bother me. The staff there are nice, the movie theater itself is clean, they make delicious popcorn, and most of the time, the best part is we get the whole movie theater to ourselves!
People complain about prices, but what do you expect? Almost every movie theater are pricey now a days. Drinks and snacks are a rip off in every theater in LA, so I don’t expect any difference here. I just really wished they showed every movie I wanted to see, that way I can watch it in my preferred choice of theater.

A hidden theater in the Horizon Casino. It’s very quiet and small. If you want to avoid the crowd at the Heavenly Village Cinemas, then come here…

Nice Movie House. Seats were comfortable, place was clean. Prices are reasonable. Typical Movie House. will visit again

You have to walk through a smoky, depressing casino to get to the movie theatre, and the women’s bathroom is absolutely disgusting. If you need to duck out of the theatre during the movie to use the facilities, they are way away from the theatre and you’ll miss a good :10 minutes of your movie. The seats do not have fold-​up armrests.
Terrible experience!

They have one or two normal size theaters. But then they have some theaters with only 6 – 8 rows, so everybody is basically sitting at the front of a normal theater. I didn’t even stay for the movie and got my money back. It really depends if you get a normal theater or not. Never have I seen such a poor design.
Update: I did give this theater two stars, but updating to just one star. Went to see a movie (had no choice but to go here) and now understand why others commented this place is dump. Pipes sticking out of the ceiling with water stains above them, and a loud humming noise (heater or air conditioner, who knows) clicking off and on during the movie, worn out chairs, all really made for an unpleasant experience.

Way better than the Heavenly Village Cinemas. Larger stadium seating and lots of films playing. I like the Casino setting too, because you can get a beer beforehand (and sneak one in too if you’re clever).
Saw The Hobbit, Argo, and Django Unchained, and Lincoln. Always had a good time here.

Best deal in town i guess of the two. Still they should serve Coke instead of Pepsi :)

This is a cool movie theater right off the casino floor inside the Horizon.
Went there recently as my husband and I wanted to see a movie and didn’t want to keep plunking $$$ into the slots. We were up $ 25 and were inclined to hold onto our windfall ;)
They have current movies playing and they’re relatively inexpensive ($ 8) for a matinée before 6pm. Hey, I’m from southern California and you can expect to pay around $ 15 for movies in this rip off part of the state.
Movie theater was a good size and was not crowded at all, even though we saw a flick around 5pm.

A decent movie experience/​diversion in S. Lake Tahoe. The Horizon itself is a total dump, and I’m surprised it remains open. However the theaters are fine and the one I was in recently was quite clean. It was also quite empty… The theater itself was tiny, with about 4 or 5 rows of seating, and a scaled down sized screen. The experience was overall positive and I will return.

It’s a dinky and slightly stinky old feeling theater. Nothing special, but tolerable considering that you’re there for an hour and a half.
What drove me absolutely crazy though are their concession stand prices. We rarely buy anything at the movies, but I was thirsty after a day of riding and wanted a bottle of water. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a price of $ 5 for a small water bottle! Absolutely outrages — BYO food ppl!

In Tahoe for a nice family vacation. Snowing hard outside so we decide to go to the movies.
After walking in the hotel with kids gagging over all the cigarette smoke we make it to the movies inside the hotel. We stand in line to get tickets and then told sorry cash only here. No problem I use the ATM so I can pay for movies and stand back in line. A little surprised that the ATM fee is $ 4.
Now we go the the snack shack for popcorn etc. After standing in line forever we place our order and guess what… There credit card terminal is not working. Had to get out of line gag my way over all the cigarette smoke back to then ATM to get more money, and another $ 4 charge. Then go back to stand in line again.
Then we get in to watch tangled the kids movie and there is two teenage boys hiding in the corner god only knows what they are doing. Do u know how uncomfortable this is with two small children. After starring at them for 20 minutes they run out.
In short never again!

I’ve seen many movies at the Horizon while in Lake Tahoe and it’s «a-​ok» by me.
The Horizon books all of the first run movies and has more screens available than the Heavenly Village Cinemas. Parking is also more convenient than at the Heavenly Village Cinemas — which validates but the parking structure is much more congested — with both free open and enclosed garage parking only steps away from the rear entrance to the casino/​hotel.
Tip: If you enter through the rear walkway to the hotel tower in the rear, you can take a shortcut through the arcade to get to the theater ticket booth and restrooms.
The Horizon does have some odd shaped (read: narrow) theaters with a huge screen but only a few rows of seats but if you get there early (which is advisable) you won’t have any problems getting an comfortable seat. However, I have seen people walk in and then leave saying that they were going to ask for a refund because they couldn’t find a satisfactory seat. So, fair warning.

The theater takes fandango which is what I mainly use. The audio and video is not the greatest but we still enjoyed watching a movie there. I’d come back the next time I’m in town.
