The Stardust Hotel Las Vegas, a legend among Las Vegas casino hotels, closed its doors November 1, 2006.

When the slots stopped spinning and the dice quit rolling at The Legendary Stardust Resort and Casino, a big chapter of "old-time Las Vegas" closed along with it.

The Stardust was often a favorite cheap discount Las Vegas hotel for golfers and other visitors to "Sin City." But it was not just a place to stay if you wanted to save money on your gambling or golf vacation.
