The infamous McDonald’s at The D in downtown Las Vegas is set to close Aug. 25, 2024.<\/p>\n

The closure of a fast food restaurant wouldn’t typically warrant a story on a blog of this undeniable magnificence, but the shuttering of this particular McDonald’s is newsworthy for reasons you won’t get from those shitheads at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Sorry, we’re still agog at their overt and shameless theft<\/a> of our story about layoffs<\/a> at Rio. And a million other scoops over the years.<\/p>\n

Essentially, The D has bought out the McDonald’s lease. We haven’t heard an exact number, but understand it’s really, really big. Cue the sad clown.<\/p>\n

Just some random clown named Ron, so our ass is totally covered legally.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For some backstory, McDonald’s has been around since The D was Fitzgerald’s. The restaurant, possibly in quotes, was inherited by Derek and Greg Stevens when they bought the place in 2011. Derek Stevens owns 78% of the casino, Greg Stevens owns 22%.<\/p>\n

The Stevens also own Circa, Golden Gate and the Downtown Events Center.<\/p>\n

From day one, the McDonald’s at The D (just inside the casino entrance from Fremont Street and directly behind the casino’s Longbar) has been a thorn in the side of The D’s owners and employees.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look inside. In the video, we say McDonald’s closes in September. That’s the date they have to be gone: Sep. 2, 2024. The last day to get your McCoronary or whatever is Aug. 25, 2024.<\/p>\n
