  • Answer 1 of 2: Hi does anyone know if these slots still take quartwrs, or are now ticket? Really want a pot of coins to play.
  • Jan 04, 2017  There are still a handful of casinos who offer vintage coin-operated video poker or slot machines. The vast majority of casino machine games have been modernized with the TITO (Ticket In Ticket Out) system. Coin-operated games are now so vintage that The D no longer offers them in their 2nd-floor vintage casino.
  • Gameroom Show sells pre-1940s vintage slot machines in excellent, working condition. These rare antique slot machines are also known as “one-armed bandits” because they were originally operated by one lever on the side of the machine as opposed to a button on the front panel, and because of their ability to leave the gamer impoverished.

The D Las Vegas, formerly Fitzgerald’s, is a lively party spot on Fremont Street. It’s one of the most popular places to play and stay in downtown Las Vegas, and many consider it a must-do!

We’ve put together a list of 15 things you have to do at The D Las Vegas, so let the festivities begin.

Bitcoin for online gambling. In countries where gambling is legal, most currencies and payment options are accepted, fiat or not, but this doesn’t mean that Bitcoin is automatically legal, because some countries have placed restrictions and taxes on Bitcoin cash-outs. But, even where gambling is illegal.

1. Play Sigma Derby

The D Las Vegas has one of the few remaining Sigma Derby machines in all of Las Vegas. The vintage game is quarter operated, and players bet on their favorite horses. Because a number of players sit around the Sigma Derby racetrack, it’s a communal experience, and a boisterous good time. Sigma Derby is located on the casino’s second floor. Just follow the sounds of unbridled exuberance.

2. Indulge in Andiamo Italian Steakhouse

The award-winning Joe Vicari’s Andiamo Italian Steakhouse is an upscale steakhouse at a downtown value. Find out more at the official site. The old-school service and Italian favorites make Andiamo an irresistible part of the downtown Las Vegas experience.

3. Party at Longbar

Longbar isn’t just a must-do at The D, it’s a must-do, period. This amazing stretch of bar is nearly 100 feet long, topped with video poker and fueled by some of the most entertaining flair bartenders anywhere. Curated beats and dozens of TVs contribute to the party vibe, especially when sports are in the mix. If you haven’t done Longbar, you haven’t done Vegas!

Here’s a look at the fun to be had.

4. Get a Dancing Dealer Cup

It’s an iconic homage to the women who contribute so much to making Vegas so Vegas. Fill it up, show it off, take it home. Bonus: Doubles as the best piggy bank, ever.

5. Catch a Concert

Just across the street from The D is its sister events venue, the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. This new entertainment venue has already had some memorable shows and sporting events, with more in the pipeline. Visit the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center Web site to see all the upcoming events and shows.

6. Meet Manneken Pis

The Mannekin Pis statue is a relatively new addition to The D Las Vegas, but it’s already bringing players luck and turning into a bona fide photo op for visitors around the world. Located near the hotel’s valet area, the Manneken Pis is a replica of the famed statue in Brussels, Belgium.

7. Visit the Bitcoin ATM

The D Las Vegas was the first Las Vegas casino to accept Bitcoin, the virtual currency. The D was also the first in Las Vegas to have an in-casino Bitcoin ATM. There’s a Bitcoin machine near The D’s gift shop, and Bitcoin is accepted as payment at The D’s front desk, restaurants and aforementioned gift shop.

8. Say “Hello” to Julita

The D Las Vegas has amassed an unmatched bevy of beauties to serve as dancing dealers and bartenders, so it would be impossible to highlight just one. We probably should’ve put “impossible” in quotation marks, because here’s Julita! We’ve never seen Julita behind the outdoor bar at The D without a warm, welcoming smile, and she even moonlights as an aerialist. No, really. Stop and say “hello,” and ask her about the vast variety of slushy drinks. You’ll be so charmed, you won’t remember anything she said, but ask, anyway.

12. Stroke the Blarney Stone

It’s one of the few remaining remnants of “The Fitz,” but thousands of Vegas visitors have rubbed the Blarney Stone on the second floor of The D for good luck before hitting the slot machines and blackjack tables. Actual results may vary, but it can’t hurt to give it a try!

13. Play Vintage Slots

The entire second floor of The D is devoted to vintage slot machines, many are rare and nearly impossible to find anywhere else. Here’s a Vegas casino tidbit: When the classic Riviera closed, the owners of The D purchased all the slot machines. Many of those machines made their way to The D’s vintage Vegas area. So, when you play at The D, you could be playing on a slot machine once played by Elvis, The Rat Pack or Liberace. We actually have no idea if they played slot machines, but don’t spoil our little fantasy.

14. Smile for the Camera
