I know downtown can be used as noun or adv. but I still do not know the difference between the two sentences above.

Let´s go to the downtown: WRONG
Let´s go downtown: RIGHT
Like with the word "home" you don´t need a preposition:
Let´s go home. Stay home.

Let's go downtown.
Similar adverbs of place:
home; there; here; where;
Clear?

grammatically both are ok. but "go to the downtown" just sounds so rare and unnatural.
same with "home":
"i'm going home." i guess you've never heard people saying "i'm going to home"
i'd say...it's a matter of habbit
FYI, "go downtown" is also a slang
