CATALINA, CA

The Casino | Tweet

The casino is one of Avalon’s most recognizable and famous landmarks. It sits at the edge of the harbor on its own small peninsula.

There is an excellent walkway that leads from the main town of Avalon to the casino. It parallels a small road for the golf carts and also the harbor.

One of the most impressive historic movie theatres I have ever been to is contained within the walls of the casino. Ornately decorated walls contain large paintings and murals. This is a huge theatre. Before the movies begin an organist plays about a ½ hour of tunes on a huge organ.

The audiences love this and give him a healthy ovation after each piece. As you walk out of the theatre above the central door - note the neat two faces, one smiling, and one grimacing. I guess these could be a representation of whether you enjoyed the movie or not.
