This bonus episode of Five Hundy by Midnight features the return of Golden Gate and Fitzgeralds head honcho Derek Stevens. We talk about rebranding Fitzgeralds as The D Las Vegas, how much Detroit plays a role in the redesign, whether negative reactions to the new name matter, what is happening with the Vue Bar outdoor seating and the return of Sigma Derby to Fremont Street.

As rumored, Fitzgeralds is about to become The D Las Vegas. @denvergambler, who has been ahead of everyone on The D name change uncovered this YouTube link, which has since gone private:
The currently empty YouTube channel hosting the video offers a little insight into the new name/theme. It seems “D” stands for “Detroit” and “Downtown.”
On Tuesday evening, we will be speaking with The D’s head honcho, Derek Stevens, to get more information on the rebranding of The Fitz.

With Linq construction underway, we’ve been wondering when O’Sheas will close. We may have our answer. According to this Twitter post, employees received a 60-day termination notice on March 1. If this is accurate (as all things on the Internet are), plan to pour out a 40 in honor of O’Sheas on April 30.
Adding to the likelihood that the end-of-April closing is legitimate, tickets for Dirk Arthur’s show in the O’Sheas showroom are available only through April 28.
