A.C. Green, Jon Stetson headline Hollywood Park Casino’s 10th anniversary

Hollywood Park Casino marked 10 years in its current Inglewood home on Oct. 22 with appearances by Lakers legend A.C. Green, mentalist Jon Stetson and a roster of creators. The celebration underscored the casino’s push to stay a year-round destination as Los Angeles heads toward major sports moments in 2027 and 2028.

Why it matters: - Hollywood Park Casino is leaning into its role as a year-round entertainment stop in Inglewood, not just a place to visit around a game or concert. - The milestone comes as Los Angeles prepares for The Big Game LXI at SoFi Stadium in 2027 and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2028. - Nearby venues such as SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome give Hollywood Park Casino a built-in audience for post-event dining, lounges and gaming.

Between the lines: - Hollywood Park Casino is pairing sports nostalgia with creator culture to broaden its audience beyond traditional casino customers. - The A.C. Green and Jon Stetson appearances connect the venue to both Los Angeles sports history and pop-culture recognition. - The event messaging suggests the casino wants to be seen as part of the larger Hollywood Park and SoFi entertainment ecosystem.
