| - It's official. The D has secured the title of "second-best-place-on-Fremont-St." The Golden Nugget is still firmly holding on to first place. But considering where they came from (the old, dirty, and just plain awful Fitzgeralds), that's a hell of an improvement.
This is our second time at the D. We stayed here while it was undergoing its transition last year. It was experiencing some growing pains at the time, but it appears to have worked them out at this point. And they've done a damn fine job. There is no trace of the old Fitzgeralds (except for the parking garage, which is the only reminder of that shithole).
The rooms are updated, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The casino is fun, upbeat, and entertaining (referring to the dancing girls, obviously). The Longbar is a great place to watch a game and have a few drinks. Marriage can be Murder is worth the price of admission. I haven't tried the new steakhouse, but we'll probably get to it sometime this week. If it had a poker room, I'd have no reason to go anywhere else. Too bad.
My wife and I get to Vegas about 5-6 weeks a year, and spend at least one of those trips on Fremont. I'm really impressed with the quality and feel of the D, and will certainly be back again.
4 stars. Would be 5 except for: the parking garage, no free internet, no fridge or microwave in the rooms, and well, let's be honest, it's not anywhere near as nice as Aria or Venetian.
