A Lexington Legacy Hotel

Having already brought on two major hotels to its Lexington Legacy soft brand this year, Lexington by Vantage is pleased to announce its biggest addition yet – the award-winning D Las Vegas Casino Hotel on the world-famous Fremont Street Experience. It is the first casino and full-service hotel in Las Vegas for Lexington's member-driven parent company, Vantage Hospitality Group, Inc.

the D opened in October 2012 and delivers the fresh, energetic attitude and fun atmosphere synonymous with downtown Las Vegas, which is undergoing an exciting resurgence with new restaurants, entertainment venues and attractions.

The sleek new casino hotel boasts 638 remodeled, modern rooms and suites and a unique two-level casino. Guests enjoy high-energy gaming with beautiful dancing dealers on the first floor and a Vintage Vegas experience, with an array of coin-operated slots and the beloved Sigma Derby simulated horse-racing game, on the second floor. Its owners have now chosen to affiliate with the Lexington Legacy brand, which allows the D to maintain its name and freedom while enjoying the comprehensive resources of Vantage Hospitality, which has over 1,000 hotels worldwide.

"the D's partnership with Lexington Legacy allows us to align with a national hotel brand without sacrificing our unique identity. We're excited for the opportunity to expand our reach and the potential for greater revenue and occupancy," said Derek Stevens, CEO of the D Las Vegas.

"Derek and his partners have done a remarkable job of creating a new environment at the D that fits into the revitalized downtown area. They also realize that joining a soft brand like Lexington Legacy will take them to the next level. With Vantage as a strategic partner, we are confident that we can add additional room nights from various sources; improve their bottom line through revenue management, channel management and placement; use our vast marketing resources to increase exposure; and provide operating cost savings via Vantage's network of preferred vendors," said Roger Bloss, Founder, CEO & President of Vantage.

the D features numerous onsite restaurants and bars. Cocktails, beer and frozen beverages abound inside the casino at LONGBAR – the longest bar in Nevada – or on Fremont Street at D Bar, where flair bartenders send bottles and glasses flying through the air. For delicious eats 24/7, the D offers contemporary American fare in a stylish setting at the D Grill, and serves upDetroit's legendary Coney Dogs and more at American Coney Island. Prominent Metro Detroit Restaurateur Joe Vicari delivers his award-winning restaurant concept to the D with the addition of Joe Vicari's Andiamo Italian Steakhouse, where guests can enjoy the superior service and authentic Italian delicacies.

the D Showroom features four dynamic shows, including the longest-running dinner show in Vegas – Marriage Can Be Murder – and Vegas' favorite musical family, The Scintas. Banquet and meeting facilities are also available for up to 300 people.

Thanks to its refurbishments and the vision of its owners, the D has achieved numerous recent accolades: "Top 10 Hotel Renovations" in the world by Forbes; "Best Downtown Hotel" in the Las Vegas Review-Journal's 2013 Best of Las Vegas awards; VegasChatter's "Best Reopening of 2012" award; and Stevens being named the "2013 Vegas Person of the Year" by VegasTripping.com.

Earlier this year, Lexington by Vantage announced the addition of the beautiful New Kuta Hotel in Bali, Indonesia and the historic Lions Gate Hotel & Conference Center in Sacramento, CA to its Lexington Legacy Hotel brand. For more information, please visit JoinLexington.com or call 888-316-2378.
