The Huntridge Theater is one of the most well-known landmarks in downtown Las Vegas.
Built nearly 80 years ago, generations of Las Vegas residents knew it as a central gathering place to see movies, concerts and friends.
But it hasn’t been operational for nearly 20 years. And despite it being a federal historic site, it’s in severe need of a makeover, and, perhaps, a different path forward.
A lot of that will depend on Dapper Companies, which bought the property two years ago for $4 million.
On Friday night, the company held a celebration at the theatre with live bands, food and the lighting of the theater’s iconic 75-foot-tall sign. Could this be the beginning of new life for the venerable theatre?
