The Stardust is a resort and casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada on 63 acres on the Las Vegas Strip. It is owned by Boyd Gaming Corporation. The original resort was conceived and built by Tony Cornero, though he died in 1955 before construction was completed.

History

The Stardust is one of the oldest hotels on the strip, opening in 1955. When the hotel opened, it had the largest casino in Nevada and the largest swimming pool in Nevada.

Siegfried & Roy got their Las Vegas start at the Stardust.

Wayne Newton signed a ten-year deal with the Stardust in 1999, for a reported $25,000,000 per year, the largest entertainment contract in Las Vegas at the time. After five and half years, Newton ended his run in late April 2005, and George Carlin moved into his theater. Magician Rick Thomas premiered at the hotel on March 25, 2005.

In 2006, Boyd Gaming Corporation announced that the Stardust would be replaced by a new project called Echelon Place scheduled to open 2010.

Books and film

The book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas written by Nicholas Pileggi and Larry Shandling and the movie Casino based on Pileggi's and Shandling's book chronicles the days when the Stardust and two other Las Vegas casinos were run by Frank 'Lefty' Rosenthal and Anthony 'The Ant' Spilotro on behalf of the Chicago and Kansas City Mafia during the 1960's and 1970's. Rosenthal was eventually denied a gaming license and placed in the Nevada Gaming Control Board's black book and Spiltoro and his brother were found dead, buried half naked in a corn field in Indiana. In the film Robert De Niro portrayed Sam 'Ace' Rothstein a composite of Rosenthal's personality and Joe Pesci portrayed Nicky Santoro a composite of Spilotro's personality.
