Stardust Las Vegas closing 12:01am 11/1/06
 

I bid a fond farewell to the Las Vegas icon the Stardust. Today is the last day that it will EVER be open. It will soon be demolished to make way to the new Eschelon Place, a $5 billion mega resort by Boyd Gaming.

They are having an inventory auction from Nov 17-21.
Here are the details:

Must not hang around Vegas that often. It has been talked about in and around Vegas for over a year now. Even the specific closing date was talked about much earlier this year. Doesn't get a lot of talk on this board though, as the poker room is pretty much 3/6LHE only and is all older locals.

This was announced to be closing late 2006 about a year and a half ago. The actual date was announced in March it was I believe.

I can't even begin to tell you the amount of sadness I have for the closing of the Stardust. Why couldn't they implode the Frontier instead?!!!


Wish I could be at the auction, but am too busy that week to visit Vegas.
