| Posted By: Howard Park Posted On: Feb 13, 2009 Views: 1565 | Vegas World! I doubt I would have ever traveled to Las Vegas if not for Vegas World's imaginative promotions. The place was cheesy, sure, but it also was a great escape for this midwesterner -- now in the day of $15 cocktails, impersonal service and glam for the sake of glam on the strip I don't feel welcome in most places in the new Las Vegas -- heck, cheesy was OK, I could afford cheese. |

| Posted By: Amy Posted On: Feb 11, 2009 Views: 1489 | I miss the Stardust The first time my husband and I ever came to Las Vegas we stayed at the Stardust. We have so many memories of that trip, from the seemingly endless walk to the room at the very end of the hall on the morning of our arrival at 3:00 a.m., to the lessons at the craps table, to the small jackpot won with a found dollar token. It was the first time either of us had come to Las Vegas, and it's a trip we've reminisced about many times since. If it weren't for the fond memories of the Stardust, we wouldn't have felt the urge to come back. If we hadn't come back as tourists, we wouldn't have moved here. I was sad to see the Stardust go, and I wonder how much money it would have made in the past several months as a reasonably-priced place to stay. |
| Posted By: Robbie Posted On: Feb 11, 2009 Views: 1408 | Misssing Hotel I miss the Stardust, not because I ever stayed there, not because I ever gambled there. I miss it because there is now a huge gap between the space that was the New Frontier, Stardust and Westward Ho. The large erector set that is Echelon is kinda' depressing, with no progress in the forseeable future. Hindsight says that Boyd could have kept the Stardust open as a on strip property, but then again maybe business was already bad and there was no other choice. |
