LUXE LIFE is truly sad that the legendary Stardust has shut its doors after a 48-year-run and will be imploded at midnight on New Year's to ring in 2007. We've put together a special photographic trip down memory lane with Stardust highlights, because this weekend, auctioneers take over and will strip the place bare! Click the button below to see the Stardust through the years.
And, as a public service, we've gathered up all of the next couple of week's auction information in one easy-to-print itinerary for you to keep at your fingertips; you might just want a Stardust gaming table or some of the other Stardust antiques and signs.

Farewell good friend! A legendary historical landmark on the famed Strip comes to its unceremonious ending- soon to be replaced by the $4billion Echelon Place which when completed for 2009 will once again change our skyline.
1. I was in a show in that Hotel in the 60s it had the most beautiful stage in Vegas It was about 12 stores deep it had a ice rink and water pool it had the most beautiful people that worked there in the world Everone was wonderful. And I will miss This Hotel and once it was known for its most lights on the strip That was some thing to say but not to day.I will miss the Sands also Janie
