Casino Secret Tour & Secret Rooms

Secret Tour of  Avalon Casino’s Secret Rooms and Backstage will include “More Discovered Secret Rooms” Only Comes with Unplugged Wrigley Ranch Ticket

Special Discounted Thursday Night Hotel Rooms for Arriving Early for Unplugged at the Ranch!


Ever been 'above' the Ballroom?
Didn't think so.  Off to the Right Side of the Ballroom Stage is a stairwell.  It's one of 4 emergency exits in the 4 corners of the Ballroom.  But through that door if instead of going DOWN, you go UP, yep UP even higher than the ballroom,  there is a walkway across the top, above the Ballroom ceiling (you can also look down into the Ballroom) going to the room with the kind've Lighthouse parapet top on the Casino Roof.

Ever been in Mrs. Wrigley's Secret, Private Party Room adjacent to the Theater Projectionist?
Didn't think so. The Window Opens so 2 people (Mrs. Wrigley in the old days) can sit and watch the Movies while eating a pizza and drinking some wine, separate from the Movie Audience.  The room has it's own bathroom and is NOT part of the daily annual Tours of the Casino.   It is part of the JazzTrax Secret Tour included with your Unplugged Ticket.
 
Walk through the Theater to start......and it's elegant entryway......up onto the Theater Stage and into it's behind the scene props. Next the Secret Tour takes you up into the BackStage Rooms, ala 1929, where the Stars of Smooth Jazz relax and prep for their performance high above. You'll walk the many steps the Stars must also troop UP to the Ballroom and in that stairwell many a Smooth Jazz Saxophonist including Dave Koz and Boney James have warmed up their saxes because that Stairwell has the perfect acoustics.   Peabo Bryson was heard warming up his VOICE in that stairwell last year that is part of the Secret Tour.
 
And now the Brand New Backstage Lounge.  Set up just for Kenny Loggins and his entourage in August, where the Island WorkOut Center USED to be. Now being designed for possible future VIP Backstage Lounging.   You'll walk through it.   And who knows what More Secret Rooms will be found inside the Casino.

When you attend the JazzTrax Festival you spend hours inside the Fabulous Famous 1929 Avalon Ballroom, 6 stories High overlooking the Pacific Ocean, but many of you have still never seen the 1929 State of the Art Built for the Silent Movie Era Movie Theater on ground level beneath the Ballroom, let alone all the Casino's Secret Rooms the daily all year tours NEVER go through, let alone the back stage area where the Stars of Smooth Jazz relax before climbing the multitude of back stage steps to performance at the top of the Casino Ballroom.

You cannot purchase a Secret Tour Ticket.
It simply is included in your Thursday Night Unplugged at the Wrigley Ranch Ticket. All kinds of things happen when you decide to arrive on Thursday to experience a Star of Smooth Jazz Unplugged Under the Stars at the Wrigley Ranch on the Far Side of the Island.
