Keep Vegas Rolling Says Stevens
Another big name planning to reopen on June 4 is the D Las Vegas and Golden Gate Hotel-Casino owned by Derek Stevens.

Stevens is planning to give away nearly 1,000 free one-way carriers to the Sin City from around 20 major US cities on a number of low-cost airlines to coincide with his reopening plans. Entrants can sign up at theD.com to book a seat on an FCFS basis. Stevens further added he and his team were looking forward to safely bring visitors to Las Vegas and want to get them to experience the amenities and attractions of the glitzy city.
