Beer and wine will be now available for purchase at Las Vegas movie theaters, but will that hurt the movie-going experience

Joining Henderson and Clark County, it's now the law in Las Vegas that stand-alone movie theaters can serve beer and wine to customers.

Is that a good thing?

Or will it add yet another distraction to the list that can ruin the movie-going experience?

You know – people texting on their phones, loud talking during the movie, cramped seats and those loud popcorn crunchers.

Or, even worse: crying children.
