There go the only rooms with balconees in Vegas…
The Stardust was really dated and the food in the hotels retaurants was miserable. I think the new resort which will spring up will be a VAST improvement over the Stardust. I hope they do the same thing with some of the other old fleabag hotels on the strip. The Riviera and Circus Circus should be demolished and rebuilt (though I do like winning stuffed animals for the kids in the Midway area).
Hey it’s about time they redid Excaliber too.

Maybe Echelon Place will have balconies? You never know.
Balonies have to be a liability issue with casinos. I can imagine over the years more then a few people “took the dive” after losing all their money downstairs…
How very sad. IMO some of these landmarks should be preserved, spiffed up and marketed as such.
I doubt we will ever see balconees in Vegas again, only locked windows you can’t even open if you bring tools. Always makes me feel like I am in a gilded cage, a luxury jail.
Vegas is interesting, because they have some of the coolest and most historical places in the world, but they also have this amazing willingness to tear them down and replace them with bigger and newer megaresorts. I’d almost prefer visiting Reno anymore.
Check out the video of the implosion:

The hotel was old but within those walls were thousands of stories and memories and ghosts of hollywood from the years gone by.
