Casa Blanca offers moviegoers a lot of bang for their movie buck. It's the first 100% laser digital projection theater in the world, offering movie lovers better color saturation and better picture clarity! Theaters provide premium sound too: Klipsch speakers and Dolby Atmos Surround Sound. Every auditorium offers large, plush seats and seat-side tables. Some of these seats are rockers...but six auditoriums offer comfy recliners for a truly relaxing viewing experience. Four other auditoriums offer menus, and full food and beverage service delivered directly to your seat by friendly waitstaff. Talk about the ultimate "dinner and a movie" experience!
One more cutting-edge technological innovation that Santikos Casa Blanca offers is automated ticket kiosks. Bye bye, traditional ticket booths! The touchscreens are easy to use, quick, and so convenient. Guests can purchase their movie tickets online before coming to the theater, them print them at these self-serve kiosks when they arrive. If they prefer, customers can also purchase their tickets directly from these kiosks. Just beyond the ticketing area is a large atrium that contains a bakery and gelato shop, concession stands, and entrances to the bowling alley and restaurant. After purchasing your favorite movie snacks, you go to a separate, large drink area. This area features soda machines that let you create your favorite flavor from literally dozens of customized drink flavors.
For last week's opening day, I attended an invitation-only blogger event at the Casa Blanca. We toured the theater's auditoriums, sampled some delicious food items from the cafe's upscale dining menu, and learned about the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation's Charitable Legacy.
As I arrived inside the Casa Blanca, I was amazed at how open and light the theater's design felt. I was warmly greeted and escorted to a seating area inside the cafe -- where a buffet of menu items was set up for us to sample. Some of the items I tried include veggies, fruit, and cheese displays; tortellini pasta, juicy roast beef, and fried jumbo shrimp. For dessert, I had a strawberry parfait and chocolate chip cookies. The food was expertly prepared and very tasty! As we ate, we learned about the John Santikos Foundation's Charitable Legacy. As a local resident, it made me very proud to hear how much this San Antonio-based company truly cares about giving back to our local community.

Bottom line: by choosing to spend my money to see movies at a Santikos theater instead of a competitor, I'm Being a Part of the Legacy! My money helps to further the goals of the Santikos Charitable Legacy, and it also helps make my local community stronger and more vibrant. Talk about a winning combination! Mr. Holmes really says it best: "All movies have a beginning and an end, but when you see a movie at Santikos, the end of the movie is just the beginning." To celebrate the Grand Opening of the amazing Santikos Casa Blanca, I'm giving one reader in the San Antonio or Houston areas a family pack of four VIP movie tickets -- good at any Santikos theater. To enter, follow the directions in the Rafflecopter below. Good luck!
