The Stardust sign gave visitors a panoramic view of the solar system. Although Dalitz said it was from his original plans, the sign was really part of Cornero's original concept. Kermit Wayne's design was selected for both the façade and the roadside signs. Young Electric Sign Company was hired to fabricate the sign. The famed Stardust sign also became a symbol of Las Vegas. The resort featured the convert|105|ft|m|sing=on long "Big Dipper" swimming pool, a convert|13500|sqft|m2|sing=on lobby, a convert|16500|sqft|m2|sing=on casino, and a decor featuring rich red and deep brown colors and indirect lighting. Tony Cornero's dream became a $10 million 1,065 room reality, charging just $6.00 a day. Daniels became the first entertainer to sign a long-term residency contract in Metropolitan Las Vegas when he agreed to appear for 40 weeks per year for three years. The opening night lounge lineup offered, from dusk to dawn, Billy Daniels, The Happy Jesters, The Vera Cruz Boys and the Jack Martin Quartet. Lido was conceived by Pierre-Louis Guerin and Rene Fraday, and staged by Donn Arden.
The entertainment registry started with the spectacular French production show Lido de Paris. The attendees of the opening included governors, senators, city and county officials and Hollywood celebrities. The Stardust opened at 12:00 noon on July 2, 1958.
When the hotel opened, it had the largest casino in Nevada, the largest swimming pool in Nevada and the largest hotel in the Las Vegas area. The resort was conceived and built by Tony Cornero, who died in 1955 before construction was completed. In 2007, construction began on Echelon Place, which will replace The Stardust. It was imploded on March 13, 2007, around 2:33 A.M. ( Pacific Time) on Novemafter operating continuously for 48 years.
The Stardust officially closed at 12:00 p.m. Most of the casino complex (including the main 32-story tower) was built in 1991, and its Mademolition marked the youngest undamaged high-rise building to ever be demolished. The Stardust Resort & Casino was a casino resort located on 63 acres along the famed Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada. Names_pre = Royal Nevada (Part of it at least)
