Spanish term or phrase: Casino
SPAIN. I know there are definitions in the glossary, but none of them seem to address my query. As an English speaker, the only "casino" I can think of is the kind of gambling premises we see in movies, like the eponymous one with Robert De Niro, roulette wheels, slot machines etc., i.e. gambling establishments.
However, in Spain the term is also used for other types of premises. In this specific case, I'm looking for a translation for el Casino de la Exposición in Seville, which the Wikipedia entry doesn't bother to translate.

"Las Delicias, el Paseo de Colón, el Río Guadalquivir, la Macarena, la Ronda Histórica, la Glorieta del Cid, la antigua Fábrica de Tabacos, el Casino de la Exposición… trazan un recorrido de una belleza inigualable"

There is a video at the end.

You might want to use the original and the translation in (parenthesis) or as a foot note.

There are other meanings of 'casino' in Spain, most frequently it refers to a social club.

Explanation:
I think this should be left in Spanish, but thinking laterally maybe this term would work as an "explanatory" translation in square brackets. It strikes me that these "Casinos" are all premises where exhibitions or performances take place.
