Originally introduced to the market as the SunDance

hotel & casino by Moe Dalitz, the D renovated the properties 2ndincarnation as the Fitzgerald from the bottom of the options barrel intosomething Fremont St desperately need, a cool option. You can feel thedifference the moment you walk in the door. The energy is palpable, young andextremely alluring.  

 

When plans were announced and the name unveiled, shows

like this venomously hated it. When we were told the name didn't have onemeaning but 3; Downtown, its location in Las Vegas, D, the nickname of newowner Derek Stevens as well as for Detroit, his hometown, it didn't help. Thename and theme were called everything from unimaginative & dumb to theworst property name in Las Vegas history. We said that.  We were so wrong. 

 

What Derek Stevens and company did to the Fitzgerald

is nothing short of remarkable. It's hard to believe its even the sameproperty. How someone was able to take that unique casino layout, erase all thebad memories it recalled upon first site and replace it with the vibe it has onthe bones of the past is beyond impressive.  But its not just the casino.The D has really nice renovated rooms that carry through the cool vibe theproperty exudes. It has some quality, all be it limited, dining options, lowlimits and even vintage gaming options on the 2nd floor casino including theonly surviving sigma derby machine on Fremont.  Simply put, The D is thebest property in downtown Las Vegas today.
