360 Vegas Review: The D Hotel & Casino Fall 2014
Originally introduced to the market as the SunDance
hotel & casino by Moe Dalitz, the D renovated the properties 2nd
incarnation as the Fitzgerald from the bottom of the options barrel into
something Fremont St desperately need, a cool option. You can feel the
difference the moment you walk in the door. The energy is palpable, young and
extremely alluring.
When plans were announced and the name unveiled, shows
like this venomously hated it. When we were told the name didn't have one
meaning but 3; Downtown, its location in Las Vegas, D, the nickname of new
owner Derek Stevens as well as for Detroit, his hometown, it didn't help. The
name and theme were called everything from unimaginative & dumb to the
worst 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 same
property. How someone was able to take that unique casino layout, erase all the
bad memories it recalled upon first site and replace it with the vibe it has on
the 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 the
property exudes. It has some quality, all be it limited, dining options, low
limits and even vintage gaming options on the 2nd floor casino including the
only surviving sigma derby machine on Fremont. Simply put, The D is the
best property in downtown Las Vegas today.
