Introduction

The Avalon Casino stands by Avalon Harbor on Catalina Island, a 1929 Art Deco landmark. Though called a casino, it never hosted gambling; it is a public entertainment building joining a ballroom, theater and social hall. Its signature circular rotunda, with painted ceiling, stained glass and streamlined lines, is among Southern California's most recognizable structures. Visitors take tours on island history and Art Deco craft or enjoy resident shows. Before ferrying off, pause here where sea breeze, harbor and retro dome weave an elegant island memory.
