It is true.  The Dunes is coming down.  Steve Wynn of Golden Nugget and Mirage
fame has bought it and he plans on building some "theme hotels".  They say
that the new complex will be only hotel rooms; no casino.

1700 employees of the Dunes have lost their jobs.  Some of them, the
lucky ones, will find jobs elsewhere - maybe they'll have to wait until
Treasure Island, MGM, and that pyramid place (I forget the name but it's
owned by C^2) open up, probably in 1994.
