Included in Emily Ardoin’s 2014 thesis “Fais do-do to ‘Hippy Ti-Yo’: Dance Halls of South Louisiana”: “The Casino Club is located on a corner in the Creole community center of St. Martinville. It was opened in the 1950s and the closing date is unknown. It is currently vacant. The building is of frame construction, has a front gabled roof, a Mansard parapet, and has a concrete pier foundation. The dance floor is constructed of wood strips. The condition of the building is good and appears mostly unaltered.”

Linda LeBlanc: Clifton Chenier played there, older Creole and Black crowd, good dance floor; popular in 60’s.
