Audio begins before video. Opens to people serving themselves at a buffet, and a large "Stardust Resort and Casino" banner hangs over the buffet, held by a giant gorilla. Bobby Berosini stands with his organutan, while guests play carnival-type games, and a band and singer perform on stage. It is a Stardust employee event, but unclear what the event is celebrating. Vladimir, a star of Enter the Night, poses with other hotel employees. A fire dancer performs onstage for the crowd to drums. Video abruptly ends. Original media Betacam, color, aspect ratio 4 x 3, frame size 720 x 486.
