Another Las Vegas landmark gone

A fixture on the Las Vegas strip is no more. Today, the Stardust was demolished. The Stardust had been a fixture on the strip for almost five decades, which by Vegas standards, almost rendered the building a historic landmark. The Boyd gaming group that owns the Stardust property along with a host of others, decided to demolish the aging building rather than remodel. The new property that will be built on the old Stardust site will be named Echelon.
