![]() ![]() We took the "40 minute" casino tour for $ 10.00 per person. To our surprise, the last basic tour started at 2:15pm - the last tour? Really? Who stops tours in the early afternoon, especially the week leading up to Labor Day weekend? There was a $25 tour later, but the last of that type started at 3:00pm? We were very disappointed, especially after learning earlier that the two restaurants at which we'd hope to have lunch both closed at 1:00pm! It lead us to the conclusion that the island folks aren't really thinking of tourists visiting, but apparently like to close in the early afternoon for a little "siesta" before the night life begins later in the evening. We expected to do a late afternoon tour, arriving at the Casino around 3:15 to purchase tickets for the next available tour. ![]() Our group of 4 was going to do the basic tour after having done lunch and a city tour earlier and spending some time "walking the town". There are 2 tours available at the Casino, one for $10 (basic tour to enjoy the art deco styling, etc.) and one for $25 ("behind-the-scenes" tour - not sure what could be very "behind the scenes" considering the use of the Casino today, so didn't expect it to be worth $25). Having taken the 10:00am Catalina Express over from Long Beach, we expected to spend to enjoy lunch then do a couple of tours, including the Casino, and some walking around, gallery visits and shopping. We were very disappointed during our "day trip" to Avalon on Catalina Island on Wed., 8/28/13. ![]()
