VEGAS.com Review: The open-air Neonopolis, a 200,000-square-foot entertainment
complex in the heart of downtown Vegas, is seen by the city as the
fuse to light that area's redevelopment fire. The mall is modeled after San
Diego's Horton Plaza and boasts a number of goodies -- none better
than the 43,000-square-foot, two-story entertainment complex
Jillian's. Entering the property from Fremont Street, you'll find the
first level is a video- and skill-game paradise (12,000 square
feet of it), with skeeball, air hockey, the latest ride simulators
and classic video games. The first level also boasts the
Video Cafe, a sports enthusiast's dream, with five 60-inch TVs that
are great for watching football, hockey, racing -- you name it.

The café also serves up a tasty menu with signature dishes from the
Kentucky-based chain, such as the delicious white chicken chili and
pulled pork sandwiches. And Jillian's lunch specials, which are
served Monday through Friday, are priced just right at $5.99 --
including the drink. But Jillian's doesn't stop there.
The HiLife Lanes, located on the second floor, have to be the coolest
place in town to bowl, with its giant video walls and retro lounge.
Seven pool tables also occupy the second floor, as well as the Pecos
Room, a great place for your next private party. 
The Crown 14 Theatres, though, seem to be the centerpiece of
Neonopolis. Advertised as a place to see films that range "from adventure
to indie," Crown 14 offers some of the largest theaters in town -- five
auditoriums are double the size of the nine others -- and the
convenience of midnight movies on Friday and Saturday, the perfect end
to Fremont Street's nightly entertainment. Also, Crown 14 offers
the best movie prices in town. There's also a chance to see some
vintage neon signs, and the spacious food court offers pizza, hamburgers
and other fast fare. Hours of operation: Sunday -
Thursday, 11 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. - 10 p.m.
Food court hours are Sunday - Thursday, 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. Friday and
Saturday, 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Located at the east end of the
Fremont Street Experience where Fremont Street meets Las Vegas
Boulevard.
