"Casino" meant a "place of gathering" in the 20's and 30's and typically represented a dance hall. The gambling connotation came later (thanks to Vegas!) So our Casino as well as the one on Catalina Island were famous public dance halls (never gambling facilities) and were frequented by locals, visitors and famous Hollywood celebrities. Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney appeared at our Casino San Clemente!
It's not actually a casino, it's an event space.
