- Las Vegas Inside & Out is headed to Downtown Fremont on today's adventure, and a visit to The D Hotel & Casino. It's Valentine's Day 2022, and we had a great time exploring this fun casino...learning exactly what the "D" stands for...and appreciating all the cool throwbacks to Vintage Vegas (not to mention Vintage Detroit!). Plus, who doesn't love spending time under the canopy at the Fremont Street Experience? It's always a blast - join us!

That was great, love The D.
I usually stay on the strip. D (or Fitzgerald in the past) is the only hotel I don't mind staying in downtown once in a while, and only because of their casino. Love their slots.
Fremont Street Experience is great, but I still remember it when it was open air (early 80's), which I will always remember ...Vintage Vegas!
Ohh we remember too… when you could drive down it, and the neon was incredible…
Nice tour of the D. One of my favorites and I always stop by there when I'm in Vegas.
We must be late to the party - so many people are writing to say how much they like the D!
Happy belated Valentines Day you "Love Birds"!
Thanks so much…hope yours was full of chocolates 🍫 and roses 🌹
I’m back and missed you two so much😍 I was not feeling so great happy Sunday Dale & Paula😊
Hi Christine 👋 Hope you got to enjoy a nice long three day weekend! 😊
That was a superb production. During my numerous visits to Vegas, I stayed downtown only once and it was at the Fitz back in the early 2000's. Man, what a transformation they did to that place. Glad to see the McDonald's is still there though lol. Your cinematography and editing on this one was top notch. Great presentation all around and thanks to you, I now know that there is a Canada Bar in a Vegas hotel so .... if we can make it there this year, I'm going to be sure to venture down there for a beer, eh. Thanks once again for your efforts and hard work to bring us this very informative video, they are very much appreciated. Bring on the next one!
Well we sure hope you DO make it south of the border, eh, and stop in at BarCanada for a nice cold Molson! 🍺🇨🇦
Awesome Video👏🏽
Sunday morning ritual, coffee and another awesome vlog with Dale & Paula.
We so appreciate you spending part of your Sunday with us 😊
After all the years we’ve been coming to Vegas we FINALLY tried Andiamos last October and it was AWESOME,we highly recommend it ask for Miguel he’s the best waiter we’ve had in a long time !!!
OK we have had several really enthusiastic recommendations for it - we will definitely go have a big old steak there, soon! 🥩🥩
Thank you for another great video.
Thanks for watching, from way across the world 🌎 🥰
Coney Island has the best chili dogs 🌭 we love the vintage horse machine too! We play Vintage Vegas slots all the time! We will be back next month..can't wait
We can’t wait to have ya back! 🎰🌭
GOD BLESS YOU DALE AND PAULA. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE MY FRIENDS. 🙏
Hi Dale and Paula. I really enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Such a nice comment, thank you Mike 😊
I just love the D and downtown. I loved Fitzgerald back in the day, but they did an amazing job restoring it. Thanks for another great video folks!
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
this was great ty for the tour
Thanks for tagging along with us to the D! 😊
We love Downtown! We love the D👍! It is always a happening place! Bar Canada rocks! Staying at the D and having access to the Circa pool is a win win 🤑💰! Can’t wait to see your review of the English Hotel…super exciting🤗! Can’t wait to get back to Vegas…counting down the days now! See y’all soon🥰!!
I told Walt, you two are way ahead of us, on your Downtown savvy!
And yes! Can’t wait to see you two again - soon! 😊
Nice vídeo!!!
I am going tô Las Vegas this trursday!!!
I will stay in the strip
But now you changed my mind….
I am thinking about spend my last night in circa ou D….
Thanks for the informations
Always Nice tô see you 2!!!
👏👏😍😍
Hey Fernando! Wherever you choose to stay, we hope you have a FANTASTIC time here! 🎉
Great music Dale and Paula! Makes the video a work of art.
You could not have paid Dale a better compliment! Thank you 🥰
Always go to downtown at least once when visiting. Lots of entertainment including people watching 🤣.
Thanks for sharing
Cheers 🥂🥂🥂
We agree, it is a very unique experience and worth spending time there!
Loved going down there and riding slotzilla. Such a different feel then the strip. Feels like both have their own identity. Love that Fremont st gets love as well.
We agree! Both have their charms…very different, but how cool is it that you can enjoy both while you’re here, just minutes apart? 😊
Thanks for the look downtown. You mentioning the "coin in, coin out" slot machines reminds me of how that sound of coins hitting the tray is no longer heard. It was specifically designed to be noisy as it attracted slot players. I remember between my visits to Vegas that the "coin in, coin out" machines were phased out, and it was noticeably quieter on my next trip. Keep the great material coming!
You are sooo right - that was an end to an era when the tickets got introduced…
I remember playing the coin slots in Las Vegas, and your hands would be black from handling the dirty coins. My how things have changed!
I am from Detroit and have talked to Derek Steven's sitting at the end of the long bar several times, he's very approachable and friendly, I told him I was from Detroit and "voila", free beer
Love this story! Thank you for sharing with us! 😊
Wonderful, as always!
You’ve been watching us for a lonnnnggg time…thank you! 😊
What a great tour. Thanks for showing us the D.
Thanks for coming along on the tour! 😊
What a fantastic video!!!! Thank you for taking us along, it makes Sundays that much more amazing! Can’t wait to see the next adventure - it sounds exiting!!!!!!
Sooo glad you liked this one - we really enjoyed putting it together! 😊
Thank you so much Paula and Dale! Loved the tour. CAB😍
Thank you for tagging along! 😊
Just have earplugs at night when the bands start playing this summer on the street. Every side street seems to have something going. ( Only if you want to sleep.)
Good point, and definitely true!
Derek Stevens is a very nice guy. Very approachable. I’ve met him twice. Once at the D and once at Circa. He’s a class act.
We love hearing this! All we’ve read and heard is the same - nice guy, and quite a successful businessman.
I too loved the coins in and out, the sound of them hitting the tray, the mess it would leave on your hands scooping them out, and never being able to find a cup when you needed one! Lol
I agree with every one of these fun memories! Great times! 😊
Thanks for sharing another great video
Thank YOU for always watching 😊
Thanks for another informative video. Every Sunday morning I look forward to seeing your latest adventure !
We so appreciate you choosing to spend part of your Sundays with us 😊
Hey guys, what a pleasant way to start a Sunday. Your choice of background music Is very pleasant. Very skillful And professional editing and narration.
Thank you, you couldn’t have left a better compliment than this 😊
Love the presentation of a fantastic hotel downtown. It truly embodies the old and new.
The use of the Circa hotel is astonishing. Staying downtown is so fun. The D is a big part of the excitement.
Thank you, Dale and Paula making Vegas fun.
Russell in Tucson, AZ
Thanks for watching buddy! 🥰
Very nice. Thank you. I remember going to Fitzgerald's. You showed the D looking great!
It really does look great - we were very favorably impressed!
If we finally make it out there this year, we're on the fence about whether to stay at the D or the Gold Nugget, so we can't wait to see that video too! Thank you so much for comprehensive tour of the D! We think this will help us decide after the Gold Nugget video comes out!
Great video, as always!!!
The Golden Nugget video is planned for March 12th - we are really looking forward to that one! Very different for us. 😊 Hope it helps you choose!
I got hooked in the plaza hotel playing the horse race. For the first time.
Good Afternoon from Tampa FLA!!! We have perm moved here and have put a bid on a new build in Ruskin FLA!!! This female born in 1950 hey Dale 1951 huh?? Twas a very good year huh!?!?!?!? Loved the Vlog so very much and so grateful to be out of the Chicago region. God it was cold!!! Lived there 3-4 months with my kids before the job promo to Tampa,!!! Love it here!!!
Welcome to the area! To me the hot & humid summers here are worth it for the mild winters. Just get ready for 4+ months of 90 degrees by day and 80 for the low at night, with humidity to match.
So glad to know you are settling in, and back in a warm climate again, Neimah! ☀️
Dale & Paula you two really do need to try Andiamo's we stayed at the D this past December and went there for dinner and from our waiter to the food.....EXCELLENT....🥂🥂 to me it was a little hidden gem that I had never really paid attention to as much as I've been in the D & downtown....I personally wouldn't stay at the D again but I would definitely go to Andiamo's again....❤❤
Thank you so much for this enthusiastic endorsement! We will definitely go have a steak at Andiamo’s and report back! 😊🥩
Very nice indeed Dale 👌 👍
as a Detroiter, i enjoy The D. i love how Derek Stevens bought some of us to Las Vegas (wish he would have chosen Lafayette Coney Island though instead of American). thanks for highlighting this property
You are welcome! We are glad you enjoyed seeing it through our eyes 😊
I remember the old horse race slot. Glad they keep the vintage games around. Celebrate past, present and future. I used to go downtown and meet at the community center where interested entrepreneurs would gather to kick around ideas and crowd funding. Talk about building the Art district up and all as the Smith Center went up and the Clark County Government Building started hopping. A few get together events in the transforming casinos. I think I might finally book a stay there. I like the smaller but centered concept. The Vegas Strip has changed and not knocking it but it is large resort minded. Fremont is still a street festival. It may be the old New Yorker in me who used to walk a lot to fun.
This was a very interesting comment - as all of yours are. I think sitting down and talking Old Vegas memories with you would be fascinating. Your description of downtown is very apt!
Hi I'm a brand new subscriber. Watching your videos are like watching long commercials on Vegas hotels and casinos 🎰. Keep em coming! Awesome 👌
You know, nobody has said that before, but I think that description fits. 😊 Only thing is, the resorts didn’t have to pay anybody to get those long commercials!!
@@paulamckenzie Just some gift cards and perks😀! Thanks for responding!
We don’t receive any gift cards or perks, for any video we do of the resorts - just FYI. The one and only exception was the Plaza downtown, last summer - they comped us a room and dinner. 😊
@@DaleMcKenzie BTW Dale you have a great voice for tv!
hi from Brisbane Australia love watching your vlogs been to Vegas many times but you are showing me many places i have never been to before I will have to check them out next time I'm there thanks
Hello 👋 over there way Down Under, and thank you for watching us! 😊🇦🇺
Love love love The D!!!! That's the only place we stay when we come to Vegas!!! Great review, Thanks!!!!
Really glad to hear that - we have never stayed but boy we thought it was terrific 😁
@@paulamckenzie you will love it!!!
What a wonderful video of the D and downtown... Ohh I wish Vegas Vik would be renovated like Vegas Vicky. I love the old Vegas vibes 🧡
So do we! I think it shows… 😁
Great look at The D! Can't wait to get back there for a visit. I always do a couple spins on the Ann Arbor slot machine in the back.
I saw that one in our wanderings, even filmed a clip of it, because I had never seen it before. Didn’t make it into Dale’s edit, unfortunately! 😊
Well hiw about that! Bar 🇨🇦 Canada! Since I am Canadian I'll have to go get a selfie there! That's a cool place for sure!
Yep there’s a cold Molson waiting for you, eh - come on down! 😁🍺🇨🇦
Miss the cups but we still have a few from trips from years ago!
We had a huge collection at one time!
Did a clean out, got rid of them…kicking ourselves ever since! 😏
The English Hotel by the Art District. That is intriguing.
Wait til you see what makes it different and unique!
great tour guys thank you have a awesome week
Thanks for going with us Tony!
Thanks Folks ! Looking forward to watching ! Looks like another fine Vlog ! Have a Great Sunday ! Best, Rudy and Kat
Thanks so much…hope yours was relaxing!
Hi, just discovered your blog. I like the show and the music, and YOU. Good job. Subscribed.
Thank you very much - we are glad to have you! 😊
Great video today! Showed so many places we need to visit. Thank you so much for such an entertaining and informative video!
We are so glad you said entertaining - thank you! 😊
This is entertaining & educational facts I otherwise would never would have known 🙃. I wish I could remember seeing Fitzgerald’s b/c I definitely walked the area during Vegas vacations before 2012😅
We Love Downtown,stay at May at Four Queens,hello from Elisabeth and Max
Hello friends! The Four Queens will be lucky to have you! 🥰
The conveys are a Detroit staple, delicious
We are mad we didn’t go back and get one after we finished with filming! 🌭🌭
I like The D - used to gamble there when it was The Fitzgerald also (in fact - The Fitzgerald was the first major casino owned by an African-American. Don Barden -he was from Lorain, Ohio and was a councilman there (next city over from me). He then moved to Detroit and entered the cable business - then he bought The Fitz. I knew people who knew Barden and was comp'd at his place.
I had actually read that history, when I was researching this vlog, and Mr. Barden was indeed a very successful man! Thank you for sharing your personal recollections with us 😊
I love your channel
We love that you watch us! 🥰
Yes it is. People have mixed opinions of what Mr. Stevens is doing to downtown.
Interesting…sort of like how people felt about Steve Wynn and the Strip? I don’t think it’s only Derek Stevens though…Tony Hsieh had a lot to do with the transformation, and the Goodmans as well, I think…
Always great content. You put so much detail in that others might omit. Looking forward to your Golden Nugget stay.
Thank you, that’s such a lovely compliment 😊
Good video. The D was also the Sundance before Fitzgeralds. Stayed and played there many times. I still have some 5 dollar chips from the Sundance
Wow those were the good old days! 🎰🎰
Really enjoyed this video. I will definitely have to visit the D when I come to Vegas soon. I like the mix of old and new slots. I also like you showing the video poker options in your videos as that is mostly what I play.
Great editing as usual Dale!
So nice of you to compliment the editing - thank you 😊
Dale is upbeat! I love it! You both are always so positive and inspiring. I love Fremont Street...always interesting! That is so true...there is no place else in the world like wonderful Las Vegas! Tina and I stayed at the Golden Nugget in 2019. It was nice. The pool is awesome. Tina and I have thought about having a dog from Coney Island many times, so maybe this trip in March we will try these Coney dogs. Tina and I have stayed at the D a couple of times, and we really like it. I would like to try Adiamo's - gotta try that New York Strip! We love Bar Canada...we always head into Bar Canada. Loved this video!
You are way ahead of us, on your Downtown experience! Seriously, this upcoming stay at Golden Nugget will be the only one, besides that comp at Plaza last year, that we have done since….well, decades ago. Looking forward to it, a lot. 😊
@@paulamckenzie - Well when we visit we like to stay in different places, but if I lived in or around Vegas like you guys, I would end up going home like Dale does anyway! I cannot tell you how many times I have checked out and driven back to Kingman when I was living out there!!!🤣🙂
@@FrontiersmanAdventures we can totally relate!!! We have done that too…and we weren’t always close to home at the time, same as you 😁
Great video, we love staying at downtown
I think a lot of our viewers do - we get such enthusiastic response whenever we go Downtown. 😊
Your Vegas reports are the most american style! Yiiiihaaa!
Lol we will take that yiiiihaaa all the way to the bank - thank you! 🥰
Vegas is a blast and we were there a few days ago. Great job on the video and great editing. Well done. Cheers from 2 Canadians.
Thank you so much for watching….and very glad you had a good time 😊🇨🇦
Very nice, we have fun at the D. I recommend the casino floor Masseuse at the D, her name is Gianna or Gina.I got my neck & back massaged, while I played slots. All for 20$ 🍀👍🤠. We loved Fitzgerald’s back in the day. The D offers match play, when you show your southwest airline ticket.🎰🎲👍
Casino floor masseuse??! 😳 Now I’ve heard it all!
The more we learn about the D and their unique perks, the more we like it. That match play idea is terrific.
@@paulamckenzie it was great. I’ll do it again, I f I see her on my next trip. Lol😊. I won 75$ on roulette with the match play.
15:03 - "C'mon, lady... let's take a ride"
I tried one of those rides once at a different location... It was in the morning and they were trying to get people to ride so I think the woman charge me 5 bucks. lol. The machine got the last laugh as I got that motion sickness feeling and felt awful for the 10 minutes or so after I got off. I don't think I'll be trying those again.
I agree with you 100% Ken - I have had the exact same reaction whenever I’ve tried those VR rides. I’ll stick with actual reality thankyouverymuch 😉
Great vid Dale and Paula, really enjoyed!! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed this week’s topic 😊
@@paulamckenzie 😉👍
GREAT VLOG THANKS CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE GOLDEN NUGGET
Yep it seems like a whole lot of our viewers like Downtown! 😊
Well you do listen to us, thanks I hope you have a great meal there, in the near future.
Of course we do - we read every comment, and I remembered your recommendation. 😊
@@paulamckenzie Wow, I am impressed: have you considered a video on Michael's Gourmet Room, at the Southpoint?
@@bodyloverz30 No actually we haven’t… we did dine at the Silverado Steakhouse over the holidays, but haven’t been to Michael’s
@@paulamckenzie It would be great if you could, I have seen no reviews from there.
D for Dale and Paula, good vlog. Enjoyed seeing the layout of the D, and you really cracked me up when you mentioned those plastic coin cups. 😄 I remember those in AC back in the 80's.
That was a great era! The clink of the coins, and how dirty your hands would get, handling them. 😊
I just might have to book a room there! Great video!
Glad you liked the topic today! 😊
Talked to couple that stayed on the 19th floor at the D. They said it was so loud from all the people at the “Fremont experience “ they could not sleep.
Oh we can definitely believe that! I think that is a consideration at all Downtown hotels…a decent night’s sleep isn’t possible.
great video as usual i stayed at the fitzgerald in 2012 after dereck bought it they had just started work on the long bar while we were there, stayed again in 2017 love the place, thanls again you two. oh and dale i hope i can look that young at 70 im pushing 55 lol
What a terrific compliment! I just made sure he saw it - thank you! 😊
Nice video
Happy pres.. day u2
Thanks - I love that I don’t have to head off to work tomorrow 😊
I watch you guys all the time I usually like where you guys go that place was horrible me personally I only stay at the Wynn Bellagio& Caesars
Downtown Las Vegas is not for everyone - some visitors never ever go there. If your tastes run to Wynn, Bellagio, etc (and why not?), there is noplace better to enjoy a vacation. But, we do have a number of regular viewers who love the vibe of Downtown, wouldn’t stay anywhere else, so we do try to cover it every now and then.
I love all the tributes to Detroit/ Michigan. I'm right by the Motor City, and it all looks right to me. 👍👍 Those horse racing games are very cool!
I know you can get a Coney dog there, but can you get Detroit style (aka the best) pizza? 😁🍕👍
Hmm no, not at The D. But you can, out in the neighborhoods - there was a Detroit style pizza place right close to where we lived for 17 years…yummy!
Dale, how’s everything going?,Omg. superb done,see you later-🙂
Thanks so much, glad you liked it 😊
"ah-boot." I see what you did there.
🤣🤣🤣
I miss plastic buckets😿
So do we! 😊
Cute
I would like you to do a DUCEBUS VIDEO I watch alot of vegas videos but no one has shown me where to get tickets for ducebus or how to get off where i want PLEAS!!!
Hmmm ok we can put that on our ideas list - although I have to believe the map and stops would on their website?
Please do a tour of Arizona Charlie’s Decatur
Hmm well we can put it on the list, but there isn’t a lot of content there. Dale used to play the slots there occasionally when we lived on the north side of town, and as I recall there aren’t a lot of extra attractions.
We really enjoyed the video!! We haven't visited downtown Vegas yet, so we're looking forward to going when we're there next :). Being Canadian, we also want to go to Bar Canada! You said that you have Canadian connections, just curious as to what they are? :)
Scott & Amanda
Hello! Dale’s whole family is from eastern Ontario, near the town of Picton. 🇨🇦🇨🇦 His ancestor came from Scotland in the mid-18th century with the British Army, received a land grant, and stayed…lots of McKenzies across Canada now. 😊
@@paulamckenzieWOW! That's so cool! Have you and Dale been back to visit recently? (Pre-COVID) 😊
@@madaboutvegas2622 No, it’s awfully far and hard to get to from here. Last time we were back was 2007, when Dale’s dad passed away…
@@paulamckenzie So sorry to hear about the passing of Dale's dad 😥
LOVE the Canadian connection though! If we ever meet up with you and Dale in Vegas, it would be interesting to chat about! 🙂
Love you guys!!! The " D " stands for what now??? I thought it was a different definition...
Lol well we found those 3 references in multiple places 😊
Vegas Vicky has not aged Vic looks little old to much cigarettes🤑🤑🤑
😂
So I was a little disappointed that you did not mention the original name for the casino as the Sundance and a little about the original owner Moe Dalitz. Also I think you misspoke that the D was the tallest building. It used to be until Derick built Circa😉 great work as always though
Yes perhaps you are right, maybe Circa is taller now. As for the Sundance and the further back history…the problem we always have is that this is a visual medium, and we don’t have any clips or photos of that history. So…we just briefly mention the most recent incarnation.
Can you showcase that 30 dollar room? What site did you use to book it.
Well we did not actually stay at the D - we did a walkthrough but did not book a room. We looked at the hotel booking calendar on the D website itself, and the weeknight rates started at $29 for the following week.
I would of liked to see their rooms. ( at the D).
Yes of course, but we can’t always do a stay, unfortunately…
It’s ok... I am a Caesars Palace and Wynn snob! 😬
@@marleneroberts2257 Good kind of snob to be! 😆
I got the impression you didnt actually stay at the D because you didn't mention how noisy it is in the rooms being under the canopy. I'm staying there next week and done a lot of looking into it and they've all mentioned that.
No, we didn’t stay - if we had, we would definitely have included a room tour in the vlog. And yes, for sure, noise is a factor at any hotel under the canopy… 😕
Is the D's Keno Room, the last in Vegas?
No, definitely not. I remember doing other walkthroughs - Virgin hotel, Sam’s Town, Red Rock - which have keno lounges.
@@paulamckenzie Great to hear, they seem almost gone; like Casino Coffee Shops, and Casino Gourmet Rooms.
My cousin Mark C. once owned the Pioneer Club. He said Wynn put him out of business. Anybody know the story ? Is the Pioneer just a gift shop now?
Yes it is a gift shop now, but we don’t really know the history…maybe Wikipedia has something?
Dale, do you wear contacts or did you have laser eye surgery? You're more handsome now than when you were 40!
Awww he couldn’t believe this compliment! 🥰 He actually had cataracts very early - in his 40s - so when those were removed, he got new lenses that corrected his vision.
We watch these videos to watch you guys walk through through and experience things. With your personality’s. This felt more like a sales pitch for the D. Not good. Love you both though and enjoy 90% of your videos. Please rethink this kind of impersonal videos in the future
Mark, we appreciate you watching us, and taking the time to comment. The vast majority of our casino/resort walkthroughs are done like this, with voiceover and neither of us appearing. People seem to love seeing all that the resorts have to offer, so they can make decisions about whether to visit that property or not. We appear when we add a meal to the itinerary of course, or when we do an overnight stay, but our life just doesn’t always permit that. Meanwhile we still strive to put out entertaining and varied “virtual trips to Vegas” every week, in whatever way we can.
@@paulamckenzie Thank you for getting back to me Paula. But the people I know that watch your channel watching for you and Dale and through personalities and through your interactions
Thank you Paula for your reply but the people I know that watch your channel watch the for you and Dale‘s personalities and your personal reactions to the properties that we might be able to visit one day. If you say This is what you normally do then OK. But let me just tell you from the outside looking in from several people I know your best work it’s not what you do through a computer but through what you and Dale do personally
