Sachs, along with Herb Tobman, took over operations in 1979, through a management contract with Glick. Tobman, like Sachs, had previously operated the Stardust years earlier. While Sachs and Tobman were handling operations again, Glick was negotiating to sell the resort to brothers Fred and Ed Doumani, although this did not proceed. An attorney for the Doumanis said that Argent had failed to provide necessary information to complete the sale. Glick eventually sold the Stardust to Sachs at the end of 1979.
