From Star to Dust: The Pulverization of a Legend

The folks at Boyd Gaming didn’t announce the time and date of the Stardust’s exit from the Las Vegas skyline, but that didn’t mean they weren’t planning a spectacle. When I arrived around 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday, there was no doubt that all the rumors flying around the Web (and my own discovery of a slightly cryptic sign on Industrial Road) had been accurate.

Dust to Dust: The Impending Implosion

The Stardust’s annihilation is drawing nigh. The building has been picked as clean as a cow skeleton after a piranha attack. The remaining structure doesn’t even look like the Stardust any more, just a nondescript multi-story framework. I think it’s fair to say that the Stardust is already dead. The implosion will be its funeral.
