The Stardust has been Imploded

Amazing the kind of character a casino can take.

"One rowdy group chanted song lyrics like "The Roof Is on Fire" and "Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye." They also screamed out "Don't be a dust hole" a few minutes before the implosion which is in reference to a local ad campaign encouraging residents to be aware of the amount of dust they kick up.

A few minutes later, a dust cloud would send the crowd into a panic.

As the building came down and the crowd was cheering, the dust cloud began to form. There was no wind and Scott Doctor, who just celebrated his eighth implosion, said we should be fine.
