With the colorful and elegant South Sea decor, famous entertainers and posh casino; the Balinese quickly became the destination of the rich and famous. This Galveston Landmark had a great run until a raid by the Texas Rangers shut it down in May of 1957, for illegal gambling. Thanks to Scott Arnold, a Houston attorney and businessman, this Grand Lady opened its doors again in 2002. The Balinese was destroyed by Hurricane Ike on September 13th, 2008. She will be missed!!! |
