Looks like The Stardust has some extra rooms available, now that the stars of its Cuban dance show have filed for political asylum.

We found a bunch of rooms for $75 a night, and they are also running a "Fall Delights Deal" featuring rooms on select dates for $49 a night. We know, we know, Vegas hotels are always running some kinda deal. But if you are an opportunist, you may be able to take advantage of the fact that Forty-three Cuban dancers, singers and musicians marched up the steps of the federal courthouse and filed for asylum in the United States on Monday, vacating their Stardust rooms. Ok, maybe that is a bit like ambulance chasing, but we know you hotel mavens are always chasing the deal.

The entertainers said Cuba's communist government had tried to prevent them from performing in the United States, denying them permission to leave as a group and requiring them to file for travel abroad individually.

Cast members of "Havana Night Club," a revue that returned Monday to the Stardust, said they want to stay in the United States because they fear reprisals from Cuban authorities upon their return.

If granted asylum, as immigration experts expect, they hope to make Las Vegas their home.
