Reborn from the shell of the Lady Luck casino, the slightly corporate Downtown Grand, just north of Fremont St, combines chandeliers with 'street dice' gamblers placing bets outdoors, weather permitting. The diminutive casino holds about 600 slot machines and 30 table games. A quirky bunch of bars and restaurants includes a rooftop pool bar serving food in picnic baskets.
