A shopping center par excellence. Fascinating shops and swank department stores serving residential areas of Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Brentwood.
Stardust Hotel - Las Vegas NV
The Stardust hotel in Las Vegas was once the biggest hotel in the city. Visible are a '58 Chevrolet, a blue Lincoln and more. The Stardust Hotel opened in 1958, it shuts down these days. Billy Daniels is announced on the advertising board. Interesting to note that the famous letters, visible on the advertising board and the roof, were replaced in 1991. Helevetica typeface was then advertising the place - like zillion of other hotels. Another piece of special 50's design style is finally gone.
