Pity the poor Stardust workers who woke up Friday and read the Review-Journal business story that incorrectly said Boyd Gaming Corp. has developed a plan to retain all 1,899 workers after the property is demolished to make way for the $4 billion Echelon Place.

While owner Boyd Gaming is working on plans to give jobs to as many of the Stardust's workers as it can, it would be impossible for the company to place each and every one of the employees at its Las Vegas-area casinos.

No Las Vegas casino has ever done so; some hotel executives have offered to give workers at closed properties priority when applying for jobs at new resorts, and some have placed as many as possible at sister properties.

Many Stardust workers will undoubtedly be offered jobs at other Boyd properties, but the company just doesn't have the jobs to match up with the skill and experience of every single worker.
