Circa 1929 in front of the Majestic Theatre. The address is 131 Fremont Street. This is located on the south side of the street, just west of Second Street. In addition to the Majestic Theatre billboards advertising "Stairs of Sand," which was released in the USA June 8, 1929 and "International News today First Run," offices for the U. S. Post Office and Carroll Gift Toggery are visible on the first floor windows. An advertisement for Real-Estate Insurance Surety Bonds is visible by the "Stars of Sand" billboard. Offices for Dr. C. E.

Las Vegas' first indoor moving picture was shown there in 1911. The Majestic Theatre was the town's only indoor movie theater after the fire at the Overland Park Hotel in 1911.
