Art/Literary - Tourism & Travel / Info about a hotel
Spanish term or phrase: salas de espectáculos
Hola, amigos! Tengo la descripción de un hotel de Buenos Aires para un folleto de turismo. En la parte de LOCATION, dice:
"Su ubicación proporciona un rápido acceso a los principales bancos, distinguidos locales de compras, **salas de espectáculos** y prestigiosos restaurantes."

Muchas gracias!!!!!!!!!

Es obvio que se refiere a los cines, teatros... pero me gustaría saber si hay una frase "hecha" en inglés para este término abarcativo. No encuentro nada que me satisfaga. Any ideas?
