So glad I found the VIP Tour on the Casino website. This is not a gambling casino, but a century old gathering place, built by Mr. Wrigley, Jr., as a gift to the people of Catalina. We were blessed to have the head curator, Sean, as our guide, and his energy and love for this historic gem was unmatched. From the over 1,100 seat auditorium and working movie theatre (later copied by Radio City Music Hall), to the backstage projection rooms and civil defense stockpile, to the dressing rooms, remarkable stories, and stunning dance hall with sweeping views, it was a perfect and incredible climax to our 48 hour stay on the island. The way the Wrigley family still contributes, in having the local public Avalon school perform plays and hold other events there, and the absolute reverence that curator Sean holds for this treasure, is truly beautiful to witness and share. Thank you Sean and the Wrigley family, for preserving this extraordinary masterpiece.

You cannot visit Catalina Island without seeing the Casino. The Casino is intertwined with the history of Catalina Island. Built by the Wrigley's who purchased the entire Island in 1919. The Casino is a gathering place and to my knowledge has never officially had any gambling. It hold a luxurious movie theater that has seating for thousands and according to curators it was the first sound theater in the world. It still has an organ for silent pictures and it still shows movies. Perhaps on a rainy evening you may wish to take in a movie. Above the theater, according to the curators, is the largest circular ballroom in the world. It is beautiful with balconies and wonderful views all the way around. Catalina Island has been used to shoot scenes from more than 200 movies and from the 1920s on had been a favorite travel destination and playground for many Hollywood stars.

The Casino is beautiful. The ballroom is impressive. Sesilia was a great host. She really seemed to enjoy sharing all the information she has learned about the Casino and its history.

I highly recommend a visit to this historical building. I would recommend you do a guided tour as there is just so much interesting history attached to this amazing place..
We thoroughly enjoyed all the Art Deco decor and sitting in the grand theatre watching old movies. The ballroom as well is certainly grand and must have been very special crowded with dancers in its heyday.
The views from the circular verandah at the top of the building were quite spectacular. A must do when visiting Catalina Island.

Visiting the Catalina Island Casino while in Avalon is a must do at least once. It’s an absolutely beautiful and interesting building from a long ago era and it’s well maintained. If you do a self guided tour there isn’t much in the way of informational signage to learn more about the history, but it’s still cool to see. There are even interesting old-timey bathrooms on the upper levels that are worth checking out. It’s a bit pricey and you likely won’t spend more than an hour walking around.

Gorgeous building! It’s a short tour with a few interesting tops along the way. My favorite part was viewing the ocean and island through the windows—it felt like looking through a “real life picture frame.” It’s definitely a one-time trip for me, but it’s a nice walk especially if you’re with older people.

The casino gathering building is quite nice inside, but be prepared to walk. The ramp leading around the floors and exterior can be long. The interior cosmetically is very nice and the ambience is beautiful.
Do go outside to see the bay and the water view. It took about 1 hour in the unguided tour,

The guided tour is well worth the cost. Information overload certainly but what a fascinating place and some great stories from the guide.

Do you need a tour or ticket to walk around the exterior of the building?

There is no gambling, but it is a magnificent facility with painted ceilings, lots of mahoghany, a beautiful dance floor (one of the biggest ever made), and beautiful views of Catalina. The tour is to appreciate its majestic beauty.

I saw that the Casino has a movie theater. Will there be any movies playing in March 2018? If so, are they first run movies like in our local movie theater? Is there a schedule somewhere?
Rédigé le 19 octobre 2017
The Casino Theatre is open year round. We show movies nightly at 7:30 pm. We are currently working on a small restoration project in the theatre, but the theatre is still open. We will occasionally close the theatre for a special event.
Movies are posted one to two weeks in advance of showing. There is a new movie every Friday. We typically show films that have been out for a few weeks.

Any dance events coming up at the ballroom?

I believe so, Wrigley engineered it like a baseball stadium with a ramp style structure to get up to the ball room which was very state of the art to move the thousands of guest in and out of the theatre and ballroom which held as many as 6000 people

Hi! If I want to see inside the casino, do I need to purchase one of the tours? Or can I just walk through and look around?
Rédigé le 11 juillet 2015
You will need to purchase a ticket

Hi Jane,

The Behind the Scenes Casino Tour is 70 minutes and the cost is $26 for adults, $24 for seniors/children.

The term "Casino" originally meant a gathering place for entertainment, per the Avalon Casino's tour guide. This Art Deco casino was - and is - a movie theatre below and a huge ball room above. It is still in use, with events like the annual Jazz Trax held in the ball room. No, there is no gambling, slots or otherwise, in this casino. The tour was fun, though, and the building is beautiful.
