Stardust gone

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 13th, 2007


Photo above depicts the sad skeleton of one of the buildings that made up the once-glamorous Stardust Hotel-Casino complex on the Vegas strip. We snapped it when we were in Vegas working at the Riv. Note the sun shining through the building. The dazzling landmark that was the Stardust neon sign was also being carefully dismantled, piece-by-piece, during our stay. The structures were stripped down to the bare frame in preparation for demolition, which ocurred last night.

Echelon, a 5,000-room resort will go up in its place.
