The D Circa Sportsbook wasn’t always the buzzing downtown betting hub it is today. Everyone knew something had to change, including majority owner Derek Stevens. When Stevens and his brother Greg purchased the former Fitzgeralds in 2012, they poured $22 million into transforming it into The D Las Vegas, giving nearly every part of the property a modern facelift.
Nearly every part—except the sportsbook. For years, it was little more than a dumpy kiosk on the second floor, an afterthought in an otherwise revived resort.
That all shifted in June 2019, when management overhauled the space and launched Circa Sports, Stevens’ ambitious sports betting brand. The D’s sportsbook was reborn under the Circa banner, featuring a social, high-energy setting with massive TV walls, bar-top gaming, self-service kiosks, and the timeless Vegas sportsbook vibe fans crave.
In this article, we’re breaking down the Circa Sportsbook at The D Las Vegas—what’s great, what’s not, and whether it’s still worth a stop in 2025, as Circa Sports continues to expand its footprint across Nevada and beyond.

The D Las Vegas Casino Hotel sits in the middle of all the action along the Fremont Street Experience at 301 Fremont Street in Downtown Vegas. This is the part of the city where locals go to play — not the Strip, which caters mostly to tourists.
The D Circa Sportsbook keeps consistent hours, open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. That’s plenty of time to cash tickets after those late West Coast games, so no complaints from us.
At The D, the sportsbook is wrapped around the second-floor Vue Bar — a long-time fan favorite. Visitors can test their luck on The D sports lines and place bets on all major sporting events at the betting windows or self-service kiosks.
Many of the chairs and tables face the bar, with the games shown on multiple flat screens above it and the odds displayed near the betting stations.
Don’t expect the plush seating or wall-to-wall luxury you’ll find at the mega sportsbooks on the Strip. It may not be one of the best sportsbooks in Las Vegas, but it’s miles ahead of the tiny kiosk that once occupied this space.
The D’s sportsbook overhaul coincided with the launch of Derek Stevens’ betting platform, Circa Sports. All sports wagering at The D is now handled through the Circa app, powered by Stadium Technology. This system replaced the old CG Technology era — once a dominant Strip operator before losing market share and shutting down most of its operations after repeated compliance issues and buyouts earlier in the decade.
“Sports wagering is a business we’ve wanted to get into for quite a while,” Stevens said when Circa launched, at a time when he was also building Circa Resort & Casino — the first ground-up resort in Downtown Vegas since 1980.
To celebrate the debut of his new app, Stevens introduced the Circa Sports Million Pro Football Contest, a season-long competition that quickly became one of Nevada’s most popular, offering millions in total prizes and a seven-figure payday for the winner.
The only limitation with the Circa Sports app at The D is that wagers can only be placed while physically located in the state of Nevada. The Circa platform has since expanded into Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, and Kentucky, but each version operates separately under state regulations.
If you’re looking for an option that works anywhere, offshore sportsbooks like Bovada still offer a wider range of lines and markets than most regulated apps — though players should remember these aren’t licensed in the U.S.

The D Circa Sportsbook in Las Vegas offers odds and betting options on professional and college sporting events, with the common bets like the money line, point spread and over/under totals on everything from a regular game in the Major League Baseball season to the March Madness men’s college basketball tournament.
The D’s owner likes to bets on sports as well, especially the riskier plays. So you can bet there are parlays and teasers available at this new venue. Futures betting is offered on all the major sports.
Here are some of the bets you can expect to find at the land-based sportsbook at The D:

But the most betting options are found on The D sportsbook online through its Circa app.
The new platform keeps up with the competition with dozens of bets on all the major sporting events. However, you must register with proper identification at one of Stevens’ two resorts that carry the platform — Golden Gate and The D.
With the new app and completion of the state-of-the-art sportsbook, Circa is sure to give the world’s largest sportsbook in the Westgate SuperBook a run for its money.
