The long-struggling Commissary After Dark restaurant at the Downtown Grand resort has closed.<\/p>\n

The space is still being used, however. The restaurant’s tables and chairs have been removed, and now the space has been reconfigured as the Downtown Underground eSports Lounge.<\/p>\n

\"Commissary\"
Out with the underperforming restaurant, in with the millennials playing first person shooters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The eSports lounge could once be found in the former high limit slot room in the casino at Downtown Grand.<\/p>\n

Moving the eSports lounge across the street makes some sense given the fact eSports tends to draw a younger crowd, but only those 21 and older can be in a casino. The move to the former Commissary space means another, even younger, crop of video game competitors and enthusiasts can join in the fun.<\/p>\n

The Downtown Underground eSports Lounge hosts events and tournaments Fridays and Saturdays, 4:00 p.m. to midnight.<\/p>\n

\"Downtown
For better or worse, everybody in Vegas is jumping on the eSports bandwagon, but Downtown Grand was way ahead of the pack.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can stay abreast of all things eSports at Downtown Grand on the official Facebook page of the Downtown Underground eSports Lounge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Downtown Grand had big plans for Commissary After Dark when it opened, including using the space as a nightlife venue. In recent months, the restaurant had been reduced to serving coffee and snacks for a few hours each morning.<\/p>\n

There are tons of great dining options in the immediate vicinity of the closed Commissary, including Freedom Beat<\/a> inside Downtown Grand, the reliably excellent Triple George Grill<\/a> and the incomparable, must-try Pizza Rock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who knows if eSports is going to be a thing for Las Vegas casinos. If it is, though, now it has a new place to be it. A thing, that is. Please try and keep up.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
