Clock ticks down on Las Vegas' Stardust

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Another decades-old Las Vegas casino will soon face the wrecking ball to make way for something with a little more shine.
Parent company Boyd Gaming says it will close the Stardust Resort and Casino on November first so that construction of a new complex can begin.
A multi-hotel and casino project, dubbed Echelon Place, covering 63 acres on the Las Vegas Strip, is expected to open in 2010.
The company will start tearing down the 48-year-old Stardust early next year.
