While it started in Philadelphia, it’s true “hey day” was when they built the massive Cherry Hill location on Route 70… at a site best remembered as the location for the Subaru headquarters (which was just recently demolished). but what it was, was a nationally recognized top entertainment facility where the biggest names in show business would perform. If you aren’t familiar, the Latin Casino wasn’t Latin… and it wasn’t a Casino. And don’t be fooled by “Netflix Film”… this is a huge $140 million budget film with a cast just as big… Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel, Ray Romano and Anna Paquin are big time recognizable names, but the cast is huge in this 3 1/2 hour epic movie! The Latin Casino – Delaware Township… err, Cherry Hill! “The Irishman” is a recently released Netflix film by famed director Martin Scorcese which features a key scene taking place in an awesome recreation of Cherry Hill’s legendary hot spot.
