CinemaCon 2018, Day 4: Coca-Cola Final Night Party
After last year's unexplained move to the Octavius Ballroom, the Coca-Cola CinemaCon Final Night Party moved back to its regular location of the Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis at Caesars Palace. However, not everything was back to tradition. Instead of having a Vegas headliner serve as the featured entertainment for the festivities, as former Caesars Palace mainstay Matt Goss so impressively and memorably did in 2016, and as Frankie Moreno did so forgettably last year, various circus-style acts performed at various times throughout the pool area. Ranging from fire dancers to an ice sculptor to an acrobat in a bubble on the pool waters themselves, it made for a festive atmosphere throughout the entire event space and helped curb crowding in a concentrated area. Some video highlights of the festivities are below.

CinemaCon 2018, Day 4: Big Screen Achievement Awards

Unlike last year, there was perfect honoree attendance at the Big Screen Achievement Awards show proper. (Director of the Year for 2017, Jordan Peele, had to miss the ceremony due to high winds in Los Angeles preventing air travel to Los Vegas in time.) Natalie Morales, host of Access and co-host of its daytime spinoff Access Live, returned as host for show for the second consecutive year.
