About The D Las Vegas

The D Las Vegas is a commercial casino at 301 Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, owned by Derek Stevens (78%) and Greg Stevens (22%). The property opened in its current physical form in 1980 and was rebranded as The D in 2012, when Derek Stevens acquired the asset and repositioned it from its prior identity as Fitzgeralds Hotel & Casino — and before that, the Sundance Hotel. The Fremont Street address has been part of downtown Las Vegas gaming since before the Las Vegas Strip became the dominant corridor. All gaming is regulated by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, with a minimum age of 21. The floor operates 24 hours a day.

Derek Stevens is one of the more recognizable owner-operators in the downtown Las Vegas market; he also owns the Golden Gate casino adjacent to The D on Fremont Street, and the Circa Resort & Casino nearby. The D’s current identity is contemporary and independent, distinct from the corporate casino brands that dominate the Strip. For visitors specifically exploring the downtown Las Vegas casino corridor, The D’s Fremont Street address puts it within the Fremont Street Experience canopy — the pedestrian entertainment zone that links the major downtown properties.

The D has no on-site hotel in directory data. The former hotel component of the Fitzgeralds building is listed separately; visitors needing accommodation should confirm current hotel availability directly with the property or book nearby downtown hotels.

Gaming Floor

The D Las Vegas carries approximately 965 gaming machines — one of the larger machine inventories among Fremont Street properties — alongside a 40-table table game section. The table game menu is broad for a downtown property: Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Pai Gow Poker, Big 6, and Keno anchor the floor, with multiple baccarat variants adding depth. Video Poker machines round out the gaming machine selection alongside standard slots.

For blackjack players, The D has historically been among the Fremont Street properties that offer more favorable rule sets than the Las Vegas Strip average — downtown properties in general have competed on table rules as a differentiator. Verify current rules, deck counts, and bet minimums directly at the tables before playing, as these change.

A Race & Sports Book handles both legal sports wagering and simulcast race betting, operating under Nevada Gaming Control Board licensing.

Baccarat at The D

The D offers three distinct baccarat formats: Dragon Bonus Baccarat, Midi-Baccarat, and Mini-Baccarat. Dragon Bonus adds a side-bet dimension that pays on the natural winning margin — typically 9 natural nets 30:1, while a 7- or 8-point win by natural pays at lower premiums. Midi-Baccarat uses a mid-size table with fewer player seats than a full-size baccarat pit. Mini-Baccarat is the standard casino table format — fastest pace, lowest minimums. For a Fremont Street property without a dedicated baccarat high-limit room, the three-variant selection at The D represents meaningful game-type coverage.

Race and Sports Book

The D operates a legal Race & Sports Book under Nevada Gaming Control Board licensing — covering fixed-odds sports wagering and simulcast race betting on major thoroughbred, harness, and greyhound tracks. Nevada’s commercial sportsbook tradition predates federal legalization by decades; the Fremont Street market has included sportsbooks since the mid-20th century. Confirm current lines, screen availability, and seating with the book before planning a game-day visit.

Amenities

The D Las Vegas lists bar, fitness center, pool, restaurant, self-parking, shops, and valet among its confirmed amenities. The pool and fitness center are notable for a Fremont Street property without a traditional hotel tower — they serve both casino guests and any hotel-room occupants at the property. The bar and restaurant support the 24/7 operating schedule. Valet parking is available alongside self-parking for Fremont Street visitors.

★ Editor note

The D Las Vegas — 965 machines, 40 tables, three baccarat variants, and a Fremont Street identity built from scratch

Derek Stevens bought the Fitzgeralds building in 2012 and rebuilt it into a property with a distinct modern downtown Las Vegas voice — no legacy brand, no corporate chain. The 40-table floor covers an unusually broad game mix for Fremont Street, including Dragon Bonus Baccarat, Midi-Baccarat, Mini-Baccarat, Craps, and Pai Gow Poker alongside 965 machines and a Race & Sports Book. The pool and fitness center add amenity depth for a casino that officially carries no hotel tower. Visit thed.com or check directly at the property for current table minimums and promotions.
