The listing, $1 CASINO CHIP FROM THE D has ended.
This is a beautiful $1 chip from the downtown casino in Las Vegas the D. The D, formerly Fitzgerald's and the Sundance Hotel. The D is located at the eastern end of the Fremont Street Experience. It has a 42,000-square-foot casino, several restaurants, a business center, a pool and spa, and a race and sports book, operated by Lucky's Race & Sports Book. The casino now has more than 1,000 slot machines and 22 table games located on two floors.
The Sundance Hotel opened in 1980 on land owned by Moe Dalitz. Dalitz, an organized crime figure tied to the Chicago Outfit, so the casino was nominally run by his associates, Al Sachs and Herb Tobman. In 1983, Sachs and Tobman faced suspension of their gaming licenses due to charges of skimming. In July 1984, they agreed to surrender management to Jackie Gaughan until the casino could be sold. Finally, in 1987, the Sundance was sold to Lincoln Management Group (later Fitzgeralds Gaming) and renamed as Fitzgeralds Las Vegas. In December 2001, with Fitzgeralds Gaming in bankruptcy, The Majestic Star Casino, LLC, owned by Don Barden, bought the property. Barden became the first African American casino owner in Las Vegas. In October 2011, several months after Barden's death, his estate sold Fitzgeralds to brothers Derek and Greg Stevens.
The new owners completed a $22 million renovation and rebranding to become the D Las Vegas in Fall 2012. The D Las Vegas Casino Hotel stands for "downtown", and also refers to Derek Stevens' nickname, and the Stevens' hometown of Detroit. The remodel gave the property a more modern feel, except for the second-floor casino, which has a "vintage Vegas" theme with retro coin-operated games.
