The everchanging Las Vegas skyline saw one of its landmarks tumble last night as the Stardust Casino and resort was imploded. It stood tall for some 48 years and was brought down in only seconds. The destruction followed a fireworks show along with a countdown.

Las Vegas: always something bigger and better!
