The D Casino and Hotel

The D Casino and Hotel Las Vegas History

Originally, the property was called the Sundance from 1980 to 1987. The Sundance faced problems with the gaming commission due to problems with the organized crime figures running the casino. The gaming license for the Sundance was suspended in 1983 due to skimming charges. The hotel was eventually sold in July 1987 and named Fitzgeralds. The D replaced the Fitzgerald Irish theme in the fall of 2012 with a complete renovation.

The Fitzerald Casino and Hotel remained from 1987 to 2012. During that time, bankruptcy forced ownership change in December 2001. The property remained Fitzgeralds with a multi-million dollar renovation project. Several additions were added including a buffet, steakhouse, exterior paint, updated casino, guest rooms and showroom. The casino includes over 1,000 slot machines with 22 table games covering two floors.

The D Casino and Hotel started in 2012 to the present day and started with a $22 million renovation project to give the property a more modern feel. The “D” stands for downtown.
