The Sundance Hotel opened on July 2, 1980 on land owned by Moe Dalitz. Dalitz, an organized crime figure, faced difficulty from the Gaming Commission, so the casino was nominally run by his associates, Al Sachs and Herb Tobman, who also owned the Stardust and Fremont casinos.
In 1983, Sachs and Tobman faced suspension of their gaming licenses due to charges of skimming. Dalitz applied to manage the Sundance himself, but the Gaming Commission stalled on his application, until July 1984, when he agreed to surrender management to Jackie Gaughan until the casino could be sold.
Fitzgeralds Hotel and Casino (1987–2012)Finally, in 1987, the Sundance was sold to Lincoln Management Group (later Fitzgeralds Gaming) and renamed as Fitzgeralds Las Vegas. As Fitzgeralds, it had a \"luck of the Irish\" theme, with shamrocks and a leprechaun. In fall 2012, The D completed a property-wide renovation and rebranding to replace the Irish theme.
The D Las Vegas (2012–present)
The new owners completed a $22 million renovation and rebranding to become the D Las Vegas in Fall 2012. The letter D 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, including the addition of dancing dealers in table games. The second-floor casino has a \"Vintage Vegas\" theme featuring the only operational Sigma Derby game in Las Vegas.
