Looks like a bit of "the D" will be coming to downtown!

All I could think about is the Tenacious D song "We Are The D" from The Pick Of Destiny:

EDIT: Oops... I had to remove the youtube video... forgot there was strong language in the lyrics.

D for dump or D for Dalitz the original owner. I hope Derick and his brother have deep pockets to kill all the roaches hiding in theD.

"D" because then they only had to invest in ONE letter for the sign.

These casino execs are not web savvy in the slightest. This is the same mistake the old Hilton made. If you do not brand your hotel correctly, it cannot be found in the place it needs to be found most, in Google. Google "The D" or even "The D Las Vegas". Their websites are nowhere to be found.

The owner is from Detroit, that is why he called it D for Detroit.

Partially. If you read the article, he also says it is due to being downtown. But, yes, they call Detroit, "the D".
