Vampire-and-werewolf fans have a Thanksgiving Eve plan in downtown Las Vegas. The Beverly Theater is bringing back its “Twilight” Drink-A-Long on Wednesday, Nov. 25, and pairing it with a second interactive screening of the sequel, “Twilight: New Moon,” the same night, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The schedule and prices
- “Twilight” Drink-A-Long: 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 25
- “Twilight: New Moon” Drink-A-Long: 9:20 p.m., right after the first film
- Tickets: $16 per screening, sold through thebeverlytheater.com
- Shots: $3 each during the screenings
How the drink-along works
The idea is simple: the audience follows a list of on-screen cues and drinks every time one shows up. For the 2008 original, the Review-Journal says the cues include Bella blinking rapidly or calling her parents by their first names, Edward staring at Bella, truck doors slamming and the villain James tilting his head.
The “New Moon” list leans into the sequel’s famous moments: Bella biting her lip, anyone saying “vampire,” slow-motion scenes, characters taking off their shirts, and Jasper looking pained. Fans who stay for both films are in for a long, cue-heavy night.
What it means for locals and visitors
The Drink-A-Long is a returning event at the downtown theater. If you’re planning to make a night of it, buy tickets early since themed screenings at small venues can sell out, and plan a ride home instead of driving after the shots. Thanksgiving Eve is also one of the busier travel nights of the year, so give yourself extra time getting downtown.
