Stardust Resort and Casino, Hotel and casino complex in Winchester, United States.
Stardust Resort and Casino was a hotel and casino complex in Winchester, Nevada. The property consisted of two towers with 9 and 32 floors that held a total of 1,065 guest rooms and covered roughly 24 hectares along the Strip.
The complex opened on July 2, 1958, as the largest hotel in the world at that time with six motel buildings and a casino of roughly 1,530 square meters (16,500 square feet). Operators closed the property in 2006 and demolished it a year later to make room for a new project.
The name refers to cosmic dust and matched the space-age enthusiasm of late 1950s America. Guests could see a 188-foot neon star that stood as the largest free-standing electric sign in the world at that time.
The resort introduced the first modern sports betting area in Las Vegas in 1976, expanding the options for guests to wager on sporting events. The property sat directly on the Strip between several other large hotels and casinos.
The Lido de Paris show ran here for 32 years, making it one of the longest-running stage performances in the city. Boyd Gaming acquired the property in 1985 and focused on improved customer service until the closure in 2006.
