On Wednesday, the iconic Stardust hotel in Vegas closed. Lots of once high-rolling guests and Vegas finery was bypassed by newer, flashier casino-resorts. It will be razed and replaced by something brighter and shinier and doubtless less interesting.
Then, this morning, Gatorland USA suffered a fire that burned much of the entrance complex. I visited there on business back in March 2002, and while it cheesy as all get-out, it’s also a classic institution I hope will unlike the Stardust, spring back.

Wow, funny, I’ve actually been there (Gatorland, not the Stardust). Back in 1990, when my family visited WDW for the holidays. Hope they bounce back. I’d like to get more gator nuggets. They tasted like chicken… only rougher in texture.
