Farewell to the Stardust: Buy a Piece of History



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 Years 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! And, as a public service, we've also 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 $4 billion Echelon Place which, when completed in 2009, will once again change our skyline.
TOMORROW'S TEASE
It was a wild 48-hour nonstop birthday bash weekend for lovemates Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo and Luxe Life will have the full report tomorrow. MTV's Vanessa celebrated her 26th birthday at TAO with a blowout cake and giant fortune cookie predicting much happiness with her pop-star partner Nick, who celebrated his 33rd birthday at PURE in Caesars after his two consecutive concerts at the Luxor where he will open a new 702-Aspen steakhouse restaurant next year. Luxe Life has all the details in a full photo report right here tomorrow!
