The History of El Casino (Ballroom)
When it opened in 1947, El Casino Ballroom hosted family milestones
as well as touring musical acts, including traditional Hispanic
musicians such as Tito Puente and other world-renowned performers
like James Brown and Fats Domino.
The ballroom continued filling its 1,200-person capacity until
1991, when a windstorm blew off the roof. The wood floor, once
the largest spring-mounted floor in Southern Arizona, was almost
destroyed by the summer monsoon. ( Click Here )
