Description:
You won't find sprawling Las Vegas-style casinos in Acapulco, but gamblers can still test their luck at slot machines, bingo and off-track betting at Jai Alai Acapulco. The main draw for bettors at this gambling den is jai alai, one of the world's fastest ball sports. Played on a long narrow court called a
fronton, jai alai is an ancient Basque version of racquetball – called
pelota vasca – though aficionados would shudder to hear that comparison.. If jai alai is not your thing, you can also bet on and watch horse and dog races broadcast via satellite. If you hit it big with your bets, you can head to nearby Baby'o and hobnob with the Beautiful People in the nightclub's VIP room.
