2007 STARDUST REUNION

ONE MORE TIME....

Welcome to the 2007 Second Annual Cast & Crew Reunion held at the Orleans Hotel & Casino. The first cast and crew reunion was October 13, 2006 and was created by Lou Anne Harrison Chessik out of a sense of urgency to celebrate the 5 decades of our history at the Stardust Hotel and Casino before it closed its doors forever. 650 people gathered together to remember, and old friendships were rekindled. The Stardust was imploded March 24 at 2am, and I hosted an implosion party that night on the 34th floor of the sterling club across from the strip. We held our breath as we watched the stardust hotel go down in a dazzling display of fireworks, along with many wonderful memories.

The implosion of the Stardust, and the response from the first reunion, inspired me to organize a yearly reunion. I envision, with your help and continued enthusiasm, a table to represent each one of the great production shows, lounge shows and entertainers whose unique talents made Las Vegas the entertainment capitol of the world.

Thank you for coming because this all could not have done without your contribution to our history, your unrelenting dedication to your craft, and our collective “Cast” commitment to the goal of keeping our history and friendships alive.
