It’s sad. I’ll miss the Tropicana.

[@mnm2007]

For a new stadium which will be closed 99 percent of the time , gross

[@pepethepatriot7524]

And when they are open they will be taking up all of the nearby parking, creating noise pollution and create traffic issues. Hurray 😑

[@tjshultz89]

It's not just for a new stadium. Its a new hotel and casino with about a quarter of the land being used for a stadium. It'll be used far more often than Allegiant Stadium. They have 8 home games a year, The A's have 81 home games a year.

[@tjshultz89]

@@pepethepatriot7524 most people attending A's games there would be tourists walking or catching an Uber there. There's 154,000 hotel rooms on the strip all with their own parking lots and it's been working well enough.

[@BaarBear]

70 years of rich Vegas history literally dust! Thanks a million Controlled Demolition, Inc! :(

[@GoogleSpyZon]

At what point do you start saving history?

[@andyman1701]

You can always visit any of the museums in town. It's not like you'll have any trouble with parking or long lines to get in.

[@WaKincaid]

Did the stain glass ceiling get saved! I sure hope so!

[@michaelcharlesthearchangel]

Now the Tropicana, that they built at the end of Scorsese's Casino, itself is being imploded 30 years later.

[@stenbak88]

This one is definitely sad

[@zcvxs]

Hope they get rid of the chemical toxic fumes before rebuilding

[@ChristopherHedum-js8eg]

Imma be up there by Mandalay Bay and Strip, by the "no public viewing area".

[@Mexicano1768]

😂😂 take a long, narrow, telescope!

[@ChristopherHedum-js8eg]

Why. Its like 100 yards away......

[@morgandollar7146]

What the hell is that creature at 0:01?!

[@P2Feener305]

🤔 where have I seen this before….oh yea two buildings in nyc went down the same exact way…

[@thekid1597]

Looks like lots of Asbestos coming from those buildings 😮

[@fransschreuders8488]

I guess Lucy will never get in to Ricky's show

[@clint81]

Fred " Good idea imploding the club to trick Lucy Ric..."

[@StakyAll]

As impressive as it is hopefully no one breathed in the concrete dust

[@evillangbuildsmc2468]

Liked

[@ChristopherHedum-js8eg]

First.

[@Modernmidget]

[@Mexicano1768]

[@miningthecows7662]

Good thing this hotel will be no more

[@clint81]

Go Dodgers 🎉

[@miningthecows7662]

This site will be a new, better baseball stadium

[@thomasking4871]

There’s no in person viewing.

[@ChristopherHedum-js8eg]

Plenty of in person viewing. Imma see it live and in person.

[@evillangbuildsmc2468]

First

[@ChristopherHedum-js8eg]

Nope.

[@hitman3531]

Damn, building 7 fell straighter than this hotel during the controlled demolition.

[@hectorhector4617]

Wow just like trade center

[@HalfNHalf.]

Exactly

[@madnbad1408]

Love all that asbestos 😂😂😂
