The sprawling industrial landscape of Commerce, 6 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, may seem an unlikely location for a luxurious, full service hotel and casino, but 184 room Crowne Plaza Los Angeles-Commerce is within walking distance of a mall (Citadel Outlets) and right next to I-5 which allows for easy travel to other places in the city, including Disneyland (15 miles). Like the famous casinos of the
Las Vegas Strip, the Crowne Plaza features extravagant decor and lavish furnishings, in this case inspired by ancient Babylon; its many facilities include 3 restaurants (room service available), a sports bar, fitness center, full spa, an outdoor pool, several shops, 5 meeting rooms - largest single capacity 120, and a complimentary 5 mile radius local area shuttle. The adjacent Commerce Casino is apparently the largest cardroom in the world, with 240 poker tables; it also offers several other types of gaming.
