The Downtown Grand, formerly the Lady Luck, is a hotel and casino in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. It is owned by CIM Group and operated by Fifth Street Gaming. The property originated as Honest John's, a news stand and barbershop with a small number of slot machines. It opened in 1961, and became a full casino three years later, under the new ownership of Andy Tompkins. He renamed it the Lady Luck in 1968, and enlarged it during the 1970s. Tompkins added a small hotel in 1983, and later expanded it with two towers, opened in 1986 and 1989, respectively.
In the 1990s, the Lady Luck name expanded to other casinos around the U.S. through Lady Luck Gaming, overseen by part-owner Tompkins. The Lady Luck changed ownership several times beginning in 2000, and eventually closed on February 11, 2006, for a year-long renovation. However, the project was derailed by financial problems.
CIM purchased the shuttered property in 2007, and eventually launched a $100 million renovation. The property reopened on October 27, 2013, as the Downtown Grand. It includes a 24,085 sq ft (2,237.6 m2) casino and several restaurants. A new hotel tower was added in 2020, increasing the room count from 629 to 1,124.
