About the Downtown Grand
Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, is home to the Downtown Grand, a hotel and casino that was formerly the Lady Luck. Its origin was Honest John's, a combination of news stand and barbershop that housed 17 slot machines, built as part of the Ogden Square Shopping Center on the northeast corner at 3rd Street and Ogden Avenue. It opened with the shopping center in January 1961. In 1964 Andy Tompkins took over as its new owner and turned it into a fulltime casino.
Tompkins renamed it Lady Luck in January 1968. Four years later the casino grew by taking over the rest of the shopping center. Jack Dubois of Ad Art created a neon design for the 1979 expansion, and a small hotel arrived in 1983. A $16 million expansion starting in 1986 added a tower of 16 stories and about 300 rooms. From 1988 to 1989, a structure of 24 stories west of the original tower added 400 rooms.
Lady Luck shut its doors on February 11, 2006. CIM Group acquired the property in 2007. After a year of demolition work, building on the renovation began on November 20, 2012. The work cost more than $100 million and brought a warehouse-inspired look, with catwalks among its features, plus a brick facade. The property reopened as the Downtown Grand on October 27, 2013, with a casino of 2,237.6 m² (24,085 sq ft). A tower added in 2020 raised the number of rooms from 629 to 1,124.

- Lettering on the tower top
- Raised letters run along the top of the tallest tower. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print or with a fine nozzle.
- Dense window grids
- The tall facades carry dense window grids, and the lower wing steps down with small rooftop boxes. A larger print size keeps them distinct, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep their edges crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The Downtown Grand is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Downtown Grand takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
