The D Las Vegas

The D occupies a front-row position on Fremont Street Experience, the covered pedestrian canyon that defines downtown Las Vegas. The light show canopy runs overhead, the concert stage sits immediately adjacent to the building, and the shops and kiosks of Fremont Street are steps from the lobby. Las Vegas Premium Outlets - North is just a short drive away for anyone who wants retail beyond the souvenir kiosks. The hotel's 11-story parking garage is free for registered hotel guests, which removes one of the friction points that downtown visitors sometimes encounter. Airport shuttle service is available through an outside company for guests who prefer not to drive or take a rideshare.

Joe Vicari's Andiamo Italian Steakhouse anchors the dining lineup - the same restaurant that built its reputation in Detroit, now serving the Andiamo Grande Meatball, a 32-ounce Tomahawk ribeye, and house cannoli inside The D. American Coney Island handles the more casual end, with Dearborn Sausage Company hot dogs dressed in chili and secret sauce served at street level. D Grill and a coffee stand round out the food options on property.

The Longbar claims the title of longest bar in Nevada and mounts fifteen large flat-screen TVs along its run - a practical setup for any game day. The D Bar operates outdoors on Fremont Street with frozen drinks and bikini-clad bartenders.

The D operates as a single 34-story tower, and four elevators serve all of it. During busy periods - weekend nights especially - elevator waits stretch well past ten minutes. Guests staying on high floors should factor that into how they move through the property. It's worth requesting an upper floor specifically to get above the concert stage noise that runs alongside the building until well after midnight on weekends; earplugs are available at the front desk if needed. Rooms were remodeled at relaunch and carry contemporary finishes with Serta mattresses and HD televisions, though there are no in-room microwaves or coffeemakers as standard. The air conditioning units run loud but are effective. In-room internet access is covered as part of staying here, so guests don't need to hunt for a separate connection on arrival.
