Stardust Implosion

They blew up the Stardust Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas early this morning to make room for another new mega resort. Boyd Gaming Corp. Chief Financinal Officer Paul Chakmak told why in this tribute story prior to the implosion...

With real estate on the Strip valued at more than $30 million an acre, the Stardust is worth more demolished.
