I am unfamiliar with how taxation works in existing casinos

It would be great to have them downtown, arguably a more family friendly than Alamo which might present some programming opportunities. I don't feel the need to add reclining seats, but whatever. I'll still miss Alamo, but I'd patronize a B&B!

I understand Alamo, I just hated it. The seats sucked and the kitch programming and Rocky Horror and texting on the screen, I just didn't get it. AMC when it was there was the perfect theater, imo. Hopeful for B&B...if that happens.

B&B has a theater complex up North in Liberty that has adult only screens where you can get food and alcohol served I believe. Plus it also as a restaurant bar attached to it, all in the same complex. I would assume the current setup Alamo had would allow them to copy the concept 100% and plug it into the existing building. Then add any other touches they want.

Personally I enjoy the concept of being served food & drinks in an adult only screening. In fact it is pretty much the main way I see movies with my wife now (when we could ).

Alamo was cool, but if we can get another KC company to have a spotlight property in a heavy tourist area (yes we will see tourists again) I think that is a bonus.

Not true. When Alamo came in they put in different seats instead of the AMC leather recliners. They also put tall bench tables in front of the seats that were so annoying because they actually blocked the bottom part of the screen. The Alamo seats were very vertical, almost straight up.
