Casino Ballroom — Attraction in Avalon

Don't miss this experience to time travel back to 1929 and the 30s! This is a great example back to the time of art deco. It is always referred to as the Casino on Avalon so, knowing it was never used as a casino, it was much easier to understand when I found out "casino" is an Italian word meaning "entertainment center." Up to 6,000 people came to dance the night away to big bands playing live. Also it was the first home of the talking movie. Go on the tour to drink...

She not only took us to the green rooms, the backstage, the private rooms, and of course the giant ballroom and 1200 seat movie theater but also sang for us on several occasions. And she's got a great choice! We learned so much more about this Catalina landmark than if we had just Googled it. Thanks for...

Down stairs has a beautiful cinema where they show movies. The hand painting on the ceiling and walls reminds me of being in Europe.

This is Old Glam that they have...
