The Catalina Casino

The Catalina Casino is located in Avalon on Santa Catalina Island, off the coast of Los Angeles. It is the most visible landmark on the island.

 

It is not a gambling casino. Its name comes from the Italian word casino, which means 'a gathering place'.

 

It has a movie theater on the lover level and a gigantic ballroom on the upper level.

 

It was completed in 1929 in the Art Deco and Mediterranean Revival styles.
