Been to the Sportsbook MANY times, going to be missed by me, but the casino is garbage.

Loved Tony Roma's too..

Had alot of good times there but the North end of the strip needed a change after Wynn came into the area.

ppeter · Jan 4, 2006

I wonder if they will outsource their new sportsbook to Leroys?

ucking:

That sucks, Morning Line and Stardust Preview were decent shows for listening on KDWN. Wonder who Scoochi will go work for now.

Depressing news to say the least.

AlwaysKeen · Jan 4, 2006

very sad news, but it shows you how powerful offshore books are now...

ChuckSims · Jan 4, 2006

Whats depressing is what the Stardust has become. A wimpy sportsbook. Before they shutdown their phone accounts I had to wait up to 25 minutes for approval on a $100 moneyline wager.

Wouldn't bother me if the people got out safe and every damn casino in the world imploded - Stardust got enough of my money - Good Riddance!

GreenDoberman · Jan 4, 2006

say goodbye to IP and Stardust in 2006. More than likely, the Trop will be next.

Wonder how long the Stardust's "neighbor" - The Frontier - lives

i do wonder what this will do to the KDWN programming they had on forever? Once they give up the time slot they won't get it back since KDWN will have to "move on" and once that time slot gets bought by someone else odds are slim the Stardust/Echelon won't want that time

this is somewhat sad for those who are dumb enough to bet on sports in vegas for among all books there the Stardust is one of the better ones

What is keeping the Sahara and Rivera alive.

maxdemo · Jan 4, 2006

Seems like more Hotels like The Wynn are goimg to be the norm..JMO

CAPNCRUNCH · Jan 4, 2006

Can anyone say 'The Cooler'? personally I prefer Jack Gaughan's joint downtown where they used to give me the quarter toke with my comp 99 cent breakfast! Now, that is class!

wisdom · Jan 4, 2006

What is thge difference if the sportbook close they all move on air anyway racebooks are nothing but a bunch of otbs

Well I liked it. Spent many hours in the sports book. The best place on the strip for people watching. A cast of Characters second to none. I too will miss Tony Romas and Ralphs.

CAPNCRUNCH · Jan 4, 2006

Besides the old days and all the characters there, the only thing I will miss is the hot spinach salad at Willy B's! :sad3:

HiloBoy · Jan 4, 2006

quite sad. really the pioneer for this whole thing. even the hotel and casino was a fun place in its day. these new places suck too many people and can never navigate my way around. spend more time walking around the casino lost than anything else.

oldmanTED · Jan 4, 2006

The Stardust was the place to go back in the day when the lines were first posted. I remember when their race book was the best in town and watching the lottery for the openers of the NCAA tournament was a thing to behold. The phones right outside the race and sportsbook and the Wise Guy runners would hit those phones as fast as they could. No cell phones in those days. I always visit whenever I go to Vegas because it takes me back to a time when things were different. Going to miss that.:sad3:

John Kelly already going to start show with Vaccaro,at difftrent venue, I forget the casino.

I wont miss the chain smoking rift raft that is in the dust sportsbook on a daily basis.
