'Raack N Roll,' 'Laughternoon' making most of showroom at The D

Las Vegas Review-Journal: Welcome to The D, where the bar is long but the stage is short. The former Fitzgeralds has done a great job of reinventing itself with a new energy, even if the wall-to-wall bar on the ground floor is more symbolic, and prominent, than the remodeled showroom upstairs. But three shows now crowd into the little 225-seater, and the old-Vegas variety act The Scintas join the fun on April 3. The D will soon account for four of six shows downtown, making it in one sense the center of the Fremont Street action.

It seems that in this industry we are always trying to find ways to change the space we are in. Actually, isn't that what it's all about? Transforming surroundings to further immerse your audience in the story? Perhaps this casino is featuring some very loosely tied story lines, but still, they are trying. I feel like in a such a small space as described, it may be better to try to engage the audience a little more by coming out to them rather than trying to pretend there is a huge difference between the playing space and viewing space. However small, it does sound like the casino if offering an intimate experience.
