Fitzgeralds opened during downtown's pre- Fremont Experience era of prosperity. Back when Fremont Street was filled with bumper to bumper 'look-at-me cars' cruising along only a few short feet from slot machines players, separated by only an invisible air-curtain. Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas was one of the great American cruising experiences of the era. Downtown Vegas was jammed night and day with players, lines of taxis, long limos, exotic hot rods, throngs of pedestrians and crowds of cops.
Opened in 1980 with a 34 story hotel tower that was one of the tallest in Nevada at the time, Fitzgeralds was originally named the Sundance; but soon became Fitzgeralds and continues with the name today. Fitzgeralds joined the Majestic family of casinos in 2001 and the new owners have been busy renovating and upgrading the property. The hotel offers some of the best guest amenities in downtown Las Vegas, a modern spacious casino, the only public balcony under the Fremont Experience canopy and plenty of free parking. For the trivia buffs the Fitzgerald became the first African American owned Nevada gaming property when Majestic Star Casino, LLC brought the property. Majestic Star's CEO is Don H. Darden. The hotel offers 638 guest rooms including 14 luxury suites with panoramic views of the Las Vegas Valley. Towering above all of downtown Las Vegas, Fitzgerald's guest rooms provide the best views of downtown, the strip and the Las Vegas Valley. The hotel staff regularly receives high marks for friendliness and service plus you are an easy walk to everything including some of the highest rated restaurants in town. For an evening of romantic dining in a quiet atmosphere of luxury try the Limerick's Steakhouse for the best in steaks, fresh seafood and deserts of your dreams. Those needing a complete fill-up can go to Molly's Buffet for a wide variety of food and drink selections. The 24 hour Shamrock coffee shop has a full menu of typical Las Vegas fare guaranteeing to please any appetite and McDonalds keeps the fast food crowd supplied with recognizable menus. My favorite is the Krispy Kreme Donut shop. A real make it here Krispy Kreme store that offers the famous glazed donuts still warm from cooking.
A full service casino located on the first and second floor tempts players with hundreds of modern slots, a comfortable Keno lounge, Race and Sports book, table games including blackjack, Let It Ride, Hold'em- Fold'em, Caribbean Stud Poker, Three Card Poker, Spanish 21 and more.
