The Spanish Colonial Revival style casino/pavilion is located on the shores of Lake Norconian, downhill from the hotel/club building. A one-story rectangular entry wing leads to an octagonal pavilion designed to maximize visual access to the lake. A walkway surrounds the pavilion and allows outdoor deck-like seating. The entry wing is clad in stucco and features cast stone decoration. This facade features an incised arch with columns on each side. Stepped down parallel, parapeted corridors flank the entry. The entry wing is capped with a hipped clay tile roof; the pavilion features a peaked roof which radiates down to create a circular cap for this focal section. At the center of the roof is a tower-like cupola with a flag post.

This pavilion holds a large ballroom/dining area which features floor to ceiling windows on all sides and a balcony. A number of alterations have occured including shed additions, replacement of doors and windows with aluminun sliders, construction of new pilings for the balcony and numerous interior changes. Most significantly, the south wall was replaced with an extension to create a bar and includes a newer plate glass picture window. The Casino/Pavilion is on the Navy grounds.

The pavilion served as the Officers' Club during WWII.
