STARDUST HOTEL & CASINO LAS VEGAS 1958-2006
July 27th, 2009
I stayed on the top floor at the Stardust with a great view of the strip the final two nights before it closed Nov 1, 2006 to say goodbye to one of my favorite Las Vegas Hotel/Casinos. This is a compilation of my time there. The old las vegas many of us prefer is quickly disappearing- I hope long time visitors of this city will enjoy this last look at one of the original resorts on the Strip.

i moved to vegas …
at least fremont is still around, i go there every now & again for that old fashioned vegas feel.
i moved to vegas the year they blew the stardust up. i wish i’d gotten some photographs of it but i had no idea. watching this video is extremely nostalgic and i never even got a chance to set foot inside. i guess the music just makes me think of all the memories other ppl have of it and they cant even come back to relive them. its so sad. like it never even existed.

I won about 9k there on an incredible roulette streak in 1984. I was in the USAF making about $1200 a month. They found out I was GI at cash out and comped me a suite and a cabana for a four-day weekend. A class place run by classy “fellas.”

1st casino I ever went to. My grandparents had been going there since 1959. They say it was MUCH better when the gangsters ran it. I believe it to. Used to play 3/6 hold ‘em there for months before the tore it down. They had a great $45 tourney every day at 10am too.

And then to put …
And then to put this whole new Resort project on HOLD?? I mean it’s over a year or possibly 2 and I visit once or twice a year only to see an empty freakin’ lot where this once beautiful Hotel used to be! Someone didn’t think this through. So now when I go, I stay towards the top of the strip, near Ceasar’s and Flamingo. It’s a pretty fun area the more I visit! I’ll be going back with the Wife July 31st, staying in a Go Room @ the Flamingo. got any reviews about the Flamingo??

I was there last, …
I was there last, about a year before they blew it up, I did not even know it was going to happen till I seen it afterwards on the news. The place was well kept up, and the rooms were beautiful and very new and clean looking, I dont understand why they blew it up.

Me too…the Steak and Lobster was the best!!! ($9.99) Couldn’t beat it with a stick! And the Casino was so laid back with all the games in the right spots. WTF??
Sincerely,
Huge Vegas Fan

They are going to …
They are going to build Echelon Place there, but they have halted construction on the project temporarily. Such a shame. Then they could have at least let the casino continue operating for at least another year or two.

I, however, didnt cash my chips-
I left the Stardust with about $120 in chips to save for the future, ( two $25, 10 $5 and 20 $1 in two styles ) but then I’m also a chip collector. I just wish I had gone ahead and gotten a $100 before the casino closed as they are quite rare now.
Thanks to all who have enjoyed my video these last two years…. Keep posting those comments.
Thanks,

I had a feeling Circus Circus would be next. The north strip is starting to look more depressing every year.
I hate these new extravagant hotels.
