from one of the first bars to reopen inside a Downtown Las Vegas casino | Eater Vegas

"Owned by Derek Stevens, who as CEO and owner of the D Las Vegas and Golden Gate gave away 2,000 one-way flights to Las Vegas to give tourism an early boost, the casino reopened at 12:01 a.m. on June 4 after a 78-day COVID-19 closure; Stevens said the team worked around the clock to bring back the Vegas experience and that they were excited to get employees back to work and welcome guests. The casino on the Fremont Street Experience revived Longbar with its tabletop blackjack and BarCanada, a sports bar ode to hockey, and brought back on-site dining including Coney Dog at American Coney Island, D Grill, and steaks and seafood at Andiamo Italian Steakhouse." - Susan Stapleton
