Stardust Casino to Closeat End of 2006
Tuesday January 10, 2006
The wrecking ball is scheduled to take down another piece of Las Vegas history.
Boyd Gaming last week made its long-awaited announcement that it will level the 1950s-era Stardust Resort in early 2007 to make way for a $4 billion multiple-hotel/casino complex.
The 63-acre project on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip is called Echelon Place and will feature an eclectic blend of four upscale hotels, a 140,000-square-foot casino, spas, theaters, convention center and retail outlets. The project is planned for completion in 2010.

I HAVE STAYED AT YOUR CASINO FOR YEARS AND AM GOING TO MISS STAYING THERE I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO EMAIL ME WHEN YOU PLAN TO TAKE IT DOWN.I WOULD LIKE TO BE THERE WHEN IT HAPPENS.
I have stayed at the Stardust on several occasions and having done alot of gaming there. I will miss following and checking out the Stardust Line. Could you please e-mail me when the date is set for the demolition as I would like to be there to say goodbye to a grand lady.
Many great memories….. Could you please email me when the implosion date is set….
Have been staying at the Stardust at least twice a year for about 25 years. Was there earlier this week and hated to leave. Had a good cry when we left and had to say goodbye. Now we have to figure out where we stay. Will miss the Stardust a great deal.
the Stardust has been a LV fixture for so long to so many loyal patrons, I think it is paramount if not absolutely necessary for the implosion to be a big event/party/celebration scheduled in advance for all to attend
i have 2 dice from el rancho vegas which are from 1958…stardust brings back memory of the past
Always stayed in the rooms out back, loved those old rooms… when they were taken down we went downtown to stay..but always visited the Stardust. The peeing fountians out front were a hoot!! Will really miss the old girl.
