I’ve spent a lot of money in this place! Lots of good times and great memories! After this closed they opened up the Tiverton Casino to replace it. Nothing like good ole Newport Grand! Thank you for sharing!!

Hi Kerry, I'm glad that it brought back some fond memories for you. It was so dark in there even with my lights. I did the very best that I could to capture as much of the place as I could. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate it very much.

Guys, this brought back a flood of memories. I used to go there as a kid(!) when it was Jai Alai - my grandparents loved to bet on it. I would do anything for that pizza sign - my grandparents used to buy us pizza slices and I remember it fondly. When you went through the hole in the wall I was hoping you had a more powerful flashlight as that was the walled-off fronton where Jai Alai was played. Seriously, this was amazing and I want that pizza sign now. 😂

I am glad that it brought back some good memories. We were happy to be able to film this location as it was a popular RI spot for so many years. As fellow Rhode Islander it is nice to be able to film a location close to home. Thank you for watching!

This old casino has been around since the 1970s and it was called Newport Hai Lai. It was a racquetball type game that you can place bets. The stadium was for the games. It was changed to a casino in the early 1990s. I went to it back then and it was empty and creepy and full of cigarette smoke.

Been there many times ...at one time a classy place especially to bet horses ...I've been a horseplayer for a long time in Rhode Island there used to be two horse tracks...Lincoln downs & Narragansett Park in Pawtucket...Newport jai alai had simulcasting of racing for years ...it was always better than going to twin river to play the horses.
