 Stardust Implosion 

Well, just thought I would see if anyone has heard the exact date of the implosion. I know its scheduled for sometime in March of this year. I drive by it on the highway everyday... they are removing all the windows for the top floors.

They must have emptied out 10 floors... and its just the bones of the structure up high....

when they ready a bldg for implosion, esp an old one, they also have to remove all the asbestos. believe me, the flamingo was full of it. my neighbor is the foreman for the demo job, and they have to take all kinds of safety measures with the asbestos.

My mom is going to be there on the 13th and she is staying at the New Frontier, right next door! That could be good or bad!

My son Luke is autistic and has been almost obsessed with the history of Vegas implosions (he knows the dates, places, every detail). We live in Northern California and he just came running in to tell me the Stardust implosion is set for March 12 at 2 a.m. I'd like to take him there, but don't know where we could stay that might get us close enough. I also want to make sure the time and date are firm. It would REALLY make Luke's day.

Thanks,

Jeff A.
