Stardust Closing Down
Boyd Gaming has
announced that the Stardust will be closing their doors after decades
of business. The casino first opened in 1958, and has been host to a
slew of celebrities, none probably more famous than Frank Sinatra
himself. The casino will close its doors on November 1st of
this year, and will be torn down next year to make room for a new
casino. The new casino, the Echelon Place, will be a $4 million
project – that will have slot machines, hotels, entertainment venues,
and retail outlets – basically something for everyone.
With the
announcement that the casino will be closing its doors and turning off
its slot machines forever, there has been an outpouring of attention
to the casino. The hotel has recognized that their regulars, as well
as those who have heard about the place but never seen it – know that
this is their last chance to get a bit of the Stardust magic. The
hotel is completely sold out for its last month of operation, and the
final show will be October 28, 2006.
The performers for
the final show will be Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, longtime Vegas
performers. They also performed the last show for the Circus Maximus
venue at Caesars Palace in 2000.
