Stardust to be History

The changing face of our favorite city continues.

Boyd Gaming announced that the Stardust will be shut down in March, 2007 and torn down to make room for a new $4 billion megaplex, Echelon Place

From the USAToday:

Boyd Gaming plans to tear down the old Stardust casino to make way for a $4 billion hotel and casino complex on 63 acres of the Las Vegas Strip — one of the largest such developments planned in a town known for mega projects.

The complex, to be called Echelon Place, is scheduled to open in 2010 on the northern end of the strip, the company announced Wednesday. It will include four hotels with 5,300 guest rooms and suites, a 140,000-square-foot casino, theaters, a shopping promenade, spas and acres of convention space.
