Reuters
Boyd to close Stardust casino in Las Vegas
Tuesday September 5, 10:25 pm ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Casino operator Boyd Gaming Corp. (NYSE:BYD - News) on Tuesday said it planned to close its Stardust Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on November 1 to make way for its planned $4 billion Echelon Place project.
Boyd will begin demolition of Stardust, its aging casino on the Las Vegas Strip, in the first quarter of next year, it said in a statement.

Boyd has said that the Echelon project was expected to open in mid-2010.

The company said in January it planned to replace the Stardust with four hotels, with a total of 5,300 guest rooms and suites. Boyd has deals with partners to build some of the hotels and entertainment facilities.

Of the total $4 billion, Boyd has said it will invest $2.9 billion in the wholly owned Echelon Resort, which includes one tower with 2,600 rooms, another with 700 suites, a 140,000-square-foot casino and 25 restaurants and bars.

Those 5 new projects are really awesome! It's amazing the development in southern Las Vegas. If it keeps up at this rate the "Welcomt to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada" sign will start to seem a little out of place.

I'm suprised no one has said anything on the New Stanhi, has anyone seen my last post??

BrandonJXN · #**706** Posted **Sep 7, 2006, 1:48 AM**

Is there anything planned for that huge dirt lot near Sky?

The picture and the text don't quite jive. It says 65 stories, but only counts out to around 47. Their web page does say "50 to be exact".
I prefer the old design myself, but I can see where the multi step gives a nice architectual break-up. One point against the new design is the wider tower sets right on the property line, and if elite is built, it to sets right on the property line. That is very bad planning, all of the west facing units lose their value.

Gordon gaming corp. owns it and the Sahara hotel. There is no plans or rumors for either location.
MGM ought to be looking into buying those two props, the old wet n wild site, and team up with Turnberry on the Fontainebleau site. MGM Signature Towers-- the partnership already exists.

I was just gonna mention that, it got so overlooked by everything else.

They're stalling that project too long also!

Fontainebleau went before the planning commision on Sept 5. Next meeting before the commission is Sept 20. Project is still very much alive.

Yep - Maxim but who knows if it will get built.

Regarding Stanhi...

The image on the WPH website does not do it justice. The final product is terrific, with an elegant curve and subtle architectural elements that will greatly enhance the LV skyline.

The gentleman who stated the project is stalling simply has no idea what goes into the making of a building of this size. There is no room for error. Every detail is painstakingly gone over and over and over. I can asure you it is moving ahead swiftly. Mr. Cherry is uniquely gifted in this arena.

As far as setbacks go, everything is accounted for. All the neighbors know of one another.

Charleston to Boneville, Main to LV blvd - 18b, Nocha (north of charleston) or the Downtown Villiage. Whatever it winds up being called, it is going to be a special place.

Lots of nice pictures, Patrick!

A few rants and raves:

So, One Las Vegas is adding what looks to be hotel towers with a South Florida circa 1980's design to them. I guess that is an upgrade from the circa 1950's housing project style of the condo towers behind. I would hate to have been a buyer of a west facing unit thinking I would have a nice view toward the Spring Mountains and now I will be looking at a hotel wall. I wonder if buyers were informed of potential development there.

I like Stanhi design. It's a little more conservative than some of the designs thrown out there but it's classy conservative rather than just cheap conservative. I like the red accent along the first floor. Adds a little pizzaz. I hope they keep that.

I've never noticed the back side of Metropolis before. It looks like a midwestern grain elevator on that side.

Views from the top of Sky are quite amazing! Personally, I am not sure I'd want to live that high up. I've lived as high as 24th floor and I like high rises and the view from on high but not sure I'd want to be much past 30 stories.

Station Casinos kills high-rise condo project

By HOWARD STUTZ
GAMING WIRE

Station Casinos has scrapped a high-rise condominium development next to its Red Rock Resort in Summerlin after the company's partnership with a pair of developers dissolved.

Scott Nielson, Station Casinos' chief development officer, said Wednesday the company is looking at various alternatives for the five-acre parcel in Summerlin Centre, south of Red Rock Resort and near a planned outdoor shopping mall.

However, he didn't count the twin tower condo project out of the picture.

"We need to consider what is the best use for that site," Nielson said. "We're not saying the condos won't be built, but we have to consider all our alternatives for that location."

He said a preview center inside Red Rock Resort near the property's movie theaters had closed.

"We had about 3,000 expressions of interest so we know the condos are a viable concept," Nielson said.

Nielson couldn't give a time table on any decision about the site. Station Casinos has several development opportunities throughout Las Vegas and in Reno.

The company has said publicly its next project would be the $450 million Aliante Station in North Las Vegas.

Station Casinos is also interested in developing its two sites in Reno, one near the convention center and another on the highway toward Mount Rose.

The company recently began construction of a 150,000 square-foot corporate headquarters behind Red Rock Resort.

In addition, Red Rock's second phase, 450 hotel rooms and an expansion to the spa, are expected to open early next year. Also, construction has started on the property's bowling center.

The $925 million Red Rock Resort opened in April.

Under the initial plans, announced last year, Las Vegas developers Steven Molasky and Steven Cloobeck planned to build twin 300-unit condominium towers on the site.

Is the Stratosphere webcam down? On the site it says it is, but I'd like a second opinion of what's goin on.

I also read that Trump is progressing by one floor every four days. Just to point it out, I think Trump Tower Las Vegas officially has 60 floors, there has to be no 13th floor among a few others others. If anyone could verify this please let me know, thanks in advance!

MsuMix · #**716** Posted **Sep 8, 2006, 3:15 PM**

I worked for Perini this summer, and I know the Trump crew averaged a floor a week (5 days) and that will probably maintain that rate until they top out. It is 64 stories minus the 13th floor.

I'm hired to work on Cosmo starting January.. can't wait!!
