Another Vegas Excuse
The other night while I was using my kid to collect free candy for me, my co-Diva Miss Lala called to tell me why we're going to Vegas again. As if we need a reason. But this evening, I decided I had to look more into the impending implosion of the Stardust.
Yesterday one of the oldest hotel/casinos on The Strip closed for good. In March of next year, it will be imploded so the owners can build a newer, better attraction called Echelon Place. It sounds pretty cool.
Yah yah yah, another casino in Vegas right? I'm kinda sentimental and I'd love to see the old place stay, but, crap, an implosion! I can't miss that! Plus this new place is going to be pretty neato keeno. I'll just go over to old town on Fremont Street if I feel nostalgic.
So you know where we'll be next March. I don't know if I can wait that long!
If anyone can tell me the EXACT date and time of this spectacular implosion, I'd be grateful beyond Red Bull and Vodka.

Thanks JM, I posted a comment there for more info.
What do most people call you btw, James or JM or what?
The demise of the Stardust ought to look very similar to how the Twin Towers looked when they fell down. Takes note & compare. Controlled demolitions pretty much all look the same.
Somehow it's different, though, when a Vegas casino plans to do it and tells everyone about it versus our own Powers that Be telling no one and killing people in the process.
Eiuw. That made me sad thinking about all that again.
