Come Celebrate the Stardust

Stardust Memories

Oct. 25th
Nevada State Museum
700 Twin Lakes Drive
Las Vegas

Just days before the doors close forever, we look back at the
history, lore and stories of this legendary Grand Dame of the
Boulevard.

Opened in 1958, the Stardust offered rooms for $6.00 a night,

the Big Dipper Swimming Pool and a 16,500 square foot casino.

It's neon galaxy facade seemed to offer the entire universe.

The Aku Aku Restaurant, the saturn-esque original sign and the
Stardust Drive-In are all part of our collective memory.

Join us as we look back, reflect and remember this remarkable hotel.

5:00 - 6:30 Booksigning of Stephen's Press new book:

The Stardust of Yesterday with Mike Weatherford, Heidi Knapp Rinella

and Jesse Dunaway.

6:30 - 7:00 pm Writer's Discussion

7:00 - 9:00 Roundtable Discussion with long time employees,

former dancers and more!

This event is free and open to the public!

Hope to see you there!
