Construction of Stardust replacement halted

Remember the implosion of the historic Stardust Casino in Las Vegas that I blogged about in detail? It turns out that the construction in its place of the $5-billion dollar Echelon project has been halted due to weak economic conditions. So instead of the most beautiful neon sign in Vegas, the city gets several years of incomplete construction.

Tsk tsk. They should have taken a clue from Boston and built the new casino under the old one, and ensured that the new one was finished and operational before imploding the Stardust. Now where will people gamble?
