The Stardust on the Las Vegas Strip was imploded, after having closed on November 1st.  You can see a video of the implosion at that link.  Boyd Gaming will be replacing the Stardust with Echelon Place.  Construction will start soon, and they will open in 2010.  It will include not only 5,300 hotel rooms in four hotels, but also a concert venue, casino, and shopping mall.  The four hotels will be Echelon, Shangri-La, Delano, and Mondrian.  If you’re interested in keeping up with what is going on at Echelon Place, here is their web site, although we will keep you updated with anything interesting we hear.
