Saturday, February 5, 2011

By the light of day, you may be a businessmen, banker, housewife, shopgirl or Sunday school teacher, but this is 1920 and the dawn of Prohibition, where by night you are limited only by your imagination. Inspired by the HBO series "Boardwalk Empire," the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles brings a 1920s casino to life on Saturday, February 5, 2011. For one magical night, immerse yourself in living history of the most scandalous kind as you wander, cocktail in hand, through the oldest private club in Los Angeles or settle in at a gaming table that will be legal in the year 2011.

The Los Angeles Athletic Club was founded in 1880, but old Hollywood made it glitter. The evening begins at 7 p.m. and ends at 11:00 p.m. (unless, of course, the cops raid it first!). Purchase a Prohibition-era cocktail as you enjoy complimentary hors d' oeuvres and games of chance.
