The iconic hotel and casino was brought down in a planned implosion that featured a fireworks and drone show and thousands of pounds of explosives.
The hotel and casino tumbled to the ground in a planned implosion that featured a fireworks and drone show in the early hours of Wednesday morning, reducing to rubble the last true mob building on the Strip.
“What Las Vegas has done, in classic Las Vegas style, they’ve turned many of these implosions into spectacles,” said Geoff Schumacher, historian and vice-president of exhibits and programs at the Mob Museum. It opened in 1957 with three storeys and 300 hotel rooms split into two wings. Over the years, it underwent major renovations, adding two hotel towers and a US$1-million green-and-amber stained glass ceiling above the casino floor.
