If you tinker around, you can find the video of the implosion.

Watched the video this morning. How sad. That building had some history. My brother spends presidents week in Vegas every year and couple of years ago we had a nice little get together in his room in the Stardust. What fun.

This morning ABC radio national news ran a breaking story about a warning out of the U.S embassy in Algiers that terrorists might try to attack aircraft in Algiers. The next story was about the implosion of the Stardust.

I found this order of news sort of spooky...Stardust used to be run by Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal and Anthony "The Ant" Spilotro, who also ran the Algiers Hotel. (In the movie Casino, Rosenthal's name was changed to Ace Rothstein, and the casino they ran was the Tangiers.)

Wow, I was just in Vegas this weekend, and didn't even know the building was going to be imploded!
