Random Vegas\nAll the rooms at the Golden Nugget are now non-smoking. \xa0It\u2019s believed the practice was put into place after the last room fire they had on the 11th floor of the Gold Tower in 2021. \xa0That fire damaged about 200 rooms, mostly water damage from the sprinklers. (Vital Vegas and Vintage Research)\nTwitpic of the week\n\nSeems no one remembers that Stardust was a run down, low-roller joint at the time of its closure. \xa0Similar to my love for Dunes, when we lose something we only had limited or no exposure to we romanticize it. \xa0Like this week\u2019s winner from @Summacorp. \xa0It is not disputed that the Stardust marquee is one of the most iconic in Vegas history. Fortunately that sign was donated to the Neon Museum. \xa0The bad news is the sign is so large odds are it will never be refurbished and relit at the Neon Boneyard but one can hope.\nNews\nDowntown Shooting\nSlide to win\nA\u2019s Update\nTodd English exodus part 2
