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 … 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.
at least fremont is still around, i go there every now & again for that old fashioned vegas feel.
I won about 9k … 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.”
Where did you stay … Where did you stay after this closed???
My golf-instructor … My golf-instructor stay at this hotel before, he said he like it!!!
great video … great video also miss some of stores desert star and the leather shop nice to visit when in vegas
Thanks so much for … Thanks so much for sharing this! Great video -
It’s a shame Las … It’s a shame Las Vegas doesn’t preserve it’s history
Great video and music
i stayed there in … i stayed there in 98and99 and it was the best deal in vegas i will really miss that place
1st casino I ever … 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 … 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
I took a few shots … I took a few shots of the room itself, but didnt think to include it in the video. Sorry
Man I really miss … Man I really miss the out of the Stardust!
no pictures of the … no pictures of the rooms ?
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.
Loved the Stardust. … Loved the Stardust. Not only were the rooms nice the price and location were great.
what is there now? what is there now?
the stardust was … the stardust was great!lee petes raido show with jim brown live from the sports book every night.vegas doesnt care about their history,just their money.
I, however, didnt … 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 … 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.
That is so sad. My … That is so sad. My band played there for many years and I considered it home!
