Here's the latest news, courtesy of the very helpful PR representative we contacted at Boyd Gaming:
"We haven't set the exact date yet. Mid-March is the best I can do at this point and we will likely not announce the date until about 10-14 days out. Clark County doesn't issue the requisite permits until about four hours prior to the event, so that if the viewing public was to become too much to handle, they could delay the implosion in an abundance of caution.
"That said, we will have some limited fireworks, as we plan to make it a news event symbolizing the beginning of Echelon Place, our new $4 billion mixed-use resort destination.
"As for what will be demolished, it will simply be the steel/concrete structure that is left - pretty straightforward and if you have a moment, take a look at the Stardust tower and you'll see what I mean - it's almost hard to see because the only thing there is the frame and you can see right through it."
