They're imploding the old Tropicana on Las Vegas at 2 AM local time

Hopefully Janet Jackson will be performing at the time!

Room prices in the surrounding hotels are astronomically high. Why pay that much when you can watch it on YT from the comfort of your living room?

It happens at 1.03 on R4's link.

What a strange event.

The casino implosion is to Las Vegas what the jazz funeral is to New Orleans

A uniquely American expression of life, death and rebirth

I needs me a black parasol

I stayed at MGM Grand a couple of weeks ago. It didn’t look like there was anything left of the Tropicana.

It was stripped bare and they made a PR opportunity out of it. It was opened in 1957 and housed the Folies Bergere showgirls for over 50 years, so it was nice to see a little respect given, especially in Las Vegas of all places.

The ghost of George Michael sends his love ~

Also, my stars, what a comely and lithe and luscious gay twink young George was, for a brief minute. He was only 19 or so, and pre-famous, when this video was shot. And also, LOL at the flimsy attempt at a hetero storyline.

The Tropicana implosion was an inside job.

Good grief. 4th of July fireworks don't last that long. Half way thru the fireworks and and I was thinking "just get it over with"!

I wonder what kinds of asbestos and other toxic shit will be in the air there for the next week or so. I'd avoid walking up and down the Strip there for a while.

I hope Ricky Ricardo and his orchestra are safe!

It looks bonkers in high speed

R16 Mr. Littlefield was desperate to get rid of that no-seller Xavier Valdez by any means possible.
