Jai alai may return


Brisas Hotels (owners of Las Brisas in Acapulco and several other hostelries) has announced plans to re-open the Frontón México, the fabled jai alai palace in Mexico City. Once a top tourist attraction and one of the few places where bets could be placed legally, the Frontón was closed by a strike several years ago.

The new installation will include a now-legal betting parlor plus a 17-room boutique hotel. Brisas also is planning to develop a 134-hectare resort, golf course and residential complex in La Paz, Baja California Sur.
