Last night {er, rather very early this morning} at 2:30am, the StarDust Hotel/Casino was imploded. That hotel was one of the original Hotel/Casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. It had been there for 48 years.

And I missed the implosion! Damnit!!! I found a YouTube video of it and the countdown looks pretty damn cool. Now I have to watch the news to see if they show any kind of live video from it. I wanted so badly to be there and witness it live. Grr.

Here's the video:

No way! are they remodeling it!??

Wow...that's a downer. I hate when they implode buildings...I remember when they imploded the Kingdome...and we watched it on the news, but I'm sure it didn't compare to standing in downtown Seattle watching it.

I've never seen a building imploded and actually I didn't know they did that, but I always feel sad when old things get destroyed for some reason... No idea why people find that exciting.

Oh, is that what it was?
My ma turned to the Chinese channel (incredibly fuzzy and only on at 11pm-12am) and I saw this countdown thingy. So that's what it was...huh. I don't like seeing a building with history going down. ={
