The Stardust Hotel and casino was one of the Las Vegas Strip’s most iconic casino resorts. The Stardust was renowned for its neon signage and topless showgirls – and notorious for its underworld connections.
Tony Cornero first conceived of the Stardust in the early 1950s. It would be the crowning achievement he sought following a checkered past in the casino business. Cornero, whose family moved to the United States from northern Italy when he was a child, had a long history in Las Vegas. He was fresh out of federal prison when Nevada legalized commercial gambling in 1931. Cornero had done well for himself in the rum-running business in Southern California during Prohibition, but ran afoul of Uncle Sam on bootlegging charges. While he was in prison, his brothers, Louis and Frank, opened the Meadows Club, an ahead-of-its-time hotel-casino – with a band stage and elegant furnishings — far from the hustle and bustle of the lowbrow gambling joints on downtown’s Fremont Street.
At the end of 2006 the Stardust closed its doors for good. The building was imploded on March 13, 2007.
These Stardust mugs/steins are getting harder and harder to find.
