Hermosa Beach has plenty to offer with its enviable seaside location to the southwest of Los Angeles. Nestled between Redondo Beach to the south and Manhattan Beach to the north, it lives up to its motto: “The Best Little Beach City.” Visitors can enjoy typical beach activities including sunbathing, beach volleyball, surfing, paddleboarding, cycling and jogging. But for those looking for more leisurely pursuits, there are plenty of bars and restaurants to hang out.
Casino options
Popular nightlife attractions include the nearby casinos, which offer table games, slots, and poker as well as plenty of quality dining options. Many of today’s casino players are accustomed to enjoying a more casual, solitary gaming experience from the comfort of their own home, in the form of online casinos. For example, the online casino at Paddy Power offers you a full range of table games and slots that you can play on your desktop or mobile device. This means you can play from anywhere with an internet connection. But if you are looking to include a trip to a casino as part of a night out or social occasion, a land-based option is the way to go. So, let’s look at some of the best casino options in the Hermosa Beach area according to Yelp.
Hustler Casino
Hustler Casino in Gardena is less than 20 minutes’ drive from the beachfront. It’s a 24-hour venue so you can arrive any time and play. There is a great range of poker games, progressive jackpot slots and table games. There are weekly poker tournaments as well as promotions and player reward schemes. There are three dining options with Larry Flynt’s Bar and Grill, Coco’s, and Corky’s Snack Bar, offering a ton of options to satisfy everyone’s appetite. The venue was established by the well-known publisher Larry Flyntv, who passed away in 2021. It currently enjoys the top rating of casinos in the area.

Hollywood Park Casino
Hollywood Park Casino has undergone a complete transformation. A move rewarded by its new-found status as one of the premier casino and entertainment destinations in Southern California. The Casino is conveniently positioned between Hermosa Beach and Downtown Los Angeles and is just five minutes from the airport. You can play no-collection baccarat, plus at least three poker games. There are daily No-Limit Hold’em Tournaments and several dining and drinks options including Century Bar & Grill, Raise Lounge, and El Taco Azul.
Larry Flynt’s Lucky Lady Casino
Also located in Gardena, Larry Flynt’s Lucky Lady Casino is a recent addition to the local casino scene having opened its doors in 2018. The building was first used as a casino in the 1940s but was recently transformed with a $5 million makeover. It is now under the same ownership as the Hustler. The venue features 60 table games including blackjack, baccarat and a whole range of poker variations. There are private rooms, high-stakes games and weekly tournaments to enjoy. You can get food table-side or visit one of the two bars, both with dining options. As with online casinos, you can also take advantage of special offers and loyalty programs. Everything is available 24/7 at weekends.
All three casinos offer top facilities for gaming and dining, and all have that classic casino atmosphere to make you feel comfortable. If you are staying in Hermosa Beach and don’t have a car, all three are just a short cab ride away.
