Stardust - Echelon Place Construction



Construction of Echelon Place, as photographed an hour or two ago. And a comparison shot of the same vicinity when The Stardust was still open.


This was sports book (north) entrance area of The Stardust. In the background is Circus Circus.

Stardust - The (Wayne Newton) Theater



The final night of The Stardust being open, was Halloween 2006. Perfect.


On that night I had the opportunity to walk on the stage of The Stardust Theater, which was more famously known as The Wayne Newton Theater, until he left.


Here is the performers view of the theater.

Stardust Closed One Year Ago Today


My dear friends, thank you for your kind words and interest. I am well, very well indeed. My life has become extraordinarily busy, and this blog has suffered.


I was not going to post today as I barely have time to post this. But as I sat at my computer I realized that today is November 1st, and thus the one year anniversary of The Stardust closing.


Here, quickly is one shot I took on the final day of The Stardust being open, (though gaming was already closed at this time).


I do hope to post more, and quite likely some later tonight, to try to get back into things as best I can.


Regarding The Frontier, I still do not personally believe that they will be ready to conduct the implosion on 13 November 2007.
