Is The D Las Vegas Worth It? Honest pros and cons
Yes—The D Las Vegas is a solid downtown choice if you want to be in the middle of Fremont Street’s action, with on-site dining, multiple bars, a sizable casino, and basic hotel amenities. It’s best for travelers who prioritize location, nightlife, and budget-friendly downtown access rather than a luxury resort experience.
In this guide
Location & atmosphere
The D Las Vegas sits at 301 Fremont St, directly on the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas. That puts live light shows, street performers, and SlotZilla zipline steps from the casino entrance.
Expect a lively, casino-centered atmosphere—busy evenings on Fremont, open-air bars, and constant pedestrian traffic. This is downtown energy rather than a quiet neighborhood stay.
- Direct access to Fremont Street Experience
- Short walk to attractions like the Mob Museum and Neon Museum
- Close to other downtown casinos (Four Queens, Plaza)
Rooms: types and what to expect
The D lists three room types: Deluxe Room, Premium Corner Room, and Deluxe Room, City View. Room counts and exact layouts vary; the property advertises a 34-story tower with over 600 rooms.
Rooms are functional and cater to downtown visitors who spend much of their time out on Fremont or in the casino rather than using extensive in-room luxury features.
| Room name | Beds / Notes |
|---|---|
| Deluxe Room | 2 Queen Beds |
| Premium Corner Room | 1 King Bed |
| Deluxe Room, City View | 2 Queen Beds — 291 sq. ft. / 4 Guests |
Dining and nightlife on-site
Dining covers options from casual to formal: American Coney Island (open 24 hours), Bacon Nation (breakfast & lunch), Coffee Stand at the D, and Andiamo Italian Steakhouse (dinner-only).
Bars include D Bar (outdoor on Fremont, 21+), LONGBAR (stretches the casino floor), Vue Bar (upstairs with Fremont views), and BarCanada for a sports-bar vibe—so you can eat and drink on property at nearly any hour.
- Andiamo Italian Steakhouse: dinner-only steakhouse
- American Coney Island: 24-hour Detroit-style hot dogs
- D Bar: outdoor Fremont Street bar with a 21+ restriction
Amenities: pool, fitness and casino
Amenities cover the essentials: The D Pool (open daily 7 AM–7 PM) and a 24-hour fitness center with weight-training machines are included for guests. The D Pool allows hotel guests under 21 with a room key.
The casino is large and multi-level with LONGBAR, go-go dancers in the Party Pit, and many slot machines and table games—this is a casino-first property.
- The D Pool: first-come loungers, smoking permitted poolside, outside non-glass food/drink allowed; no cabanas/daybeds
- 24-hour fitness center included
- Complimentary access for eligible guests to Stadium Swim at Circa (Circa is 21+ and requires ID)
Events, weddings and meeting spaces
The D has event and meeting facilities including the Detroit Ballroom and the Traverse City Patio, with flexible indoor and outdoor options for groups and weddings.
Spaces can host both small gatherings and larger events; the property advertises a range of capacities and about 11,000 square feet of meeting space across venues.
- Detroit Ballroom: listed capacity and square-foot options for larger events
- Traverse City Patio: outdoor terrace with skyline views
- On-site event coordination and catering options available

Who should (and shouldn’t) stay here
Good fit: travelers who want to be in the center of Fremont Street action, those focused on downtown nightlife, casino players, and guests who need straightforward rooms and multiple on-site dining and bar options.
Not a great fit: people seeking a quiet, family-resort pool complex (the pool deck is small and smoky), travelers wanting a full-service spa (no dedicated on-site spa facility is listed), or those who expect luxury-suite-level in-room amenities as standard.
- Ideal if you want nightlife, casinos, and Fremont Street access
- Avoid if you need a resort-style pool experience or pet-friendly rooms
- Consider Circa’s Stadium Swim only if all adults in your party are 21+ and have ID
