Hot on the heels of our recent story about the ongoing shrinkage<\/a> at Downtown Grand, the hotel’s Spread deli has closed, and its Asian restaurant, Red Mansion, will close within a week.<\/p>\n

\"Downtown<\/a>
Downtown Grand’s Sports Book & Deli is now more of just a sports book.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The wall bearing a sign for the Spread has been unceremoniously covered up.<\/p>\n

\"Spread<\/a>
They say that when a door closes, a window opens. In the case of the Spread deli, no such luck. The walk-up window is closed, too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Downtown Grand’s Chinese dining option, Red Mansion, will also close soon. We hear much of the menu will still be available at the hotel’s Stewart + Ogden restaurant, however.<\/p>\n

These restaurant closings aren’t the only changes customers have noted during recent visits. The hotel’s outdoor blackjack tables have been removed.<\/p>\n

\"Downtown<\/a>
Downtown Grand’s remaining outdoor game, Street Dice, may have to be renamed “Street Dicey.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We’ve heard Downtown Grand’s other venues, Mob Bar and The Commissary, are also in danger of closing, but our typically-reliable source at the hotel says they’ll remain afloat. Time will tell.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Commissary closes at 3:00 p.m., which, in Vegas, is sort of like not being open at all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It appears the hotel’s owners (CIM Group) and operators (Fifth Street Gaming) continue to struggle in their effort to overcome a seemingly insurmountable challenge: location.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, efforts to attract more customers (specifically, from Fremont Street Experience, a long, long block away) have gotten increasingly awkward.<\/p>\n

Example: The Wheel-O-Desperation.<\/p>\n
