Sparks, Nev. – Checking out all of the incredible classic cars is fun, but when that Northern Nevada afternoon sun hits, you may be looking for a break from the heat! That’s why John Ascuaga’s Nugget is happy to announce our Classic Film Festival during Hot August Nights.
It’s a free, family-friendly event that’s sure to be a crowd-favorite this year. Families are invited to come in, enjoy the air conditioning, and get wrapped up in the nostalgia of years past.
The Nugget will be showing three classic films in a row in the Celebrity Showroom starting at noon, Wednesday through Saturday, during Hot August Nights. Each of these afternoons will have a different movie star theme to honor the actors and actresses who defined the glamorous classic car era.
Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor will each get an afternoon in the Showroom, where Hot August Nights event-goers can sit back and watch their favorite movies back-to-back on the big screen!
There is no cost to get in, and refreshments will be available for purchase.
