I used to live next to the Palms in 2005 and 2006. I would walk to the Tropicana every Saturday night to listen to the awesome house band that played there. They were a dance, pop, and disco band called TKO. That's one of my memories there. Before I moved here, I would vacation here. And I listened to a jazz band called The Witnesses. And I got to meet Sammy Butera here. I have a lot of memories with this place.
My first time to Vegas was at the Tropicana when i was barely legal, it was a guys road trip from Canada and it still brings back so many memories! every time I went back to Vegas I walked through this hotel just to relive the memory of being young. Its so sad to see it go.😢
My mom has a lot of memories with the Tropicana hotel when she was in highschool she used to go swimming in the pool or one of her favorite memories is getting married at the chapel that the Tropicana had some people said she got married and divorced the las Vegas wqy and then my grandfather on my dad's side actually worked at the slot tables of the Tropicana when he was alive
@guitarsrcool4922 that's my biggest concern. The Tropicana/LV BLVD intersection will be the main intersection for: 1. The Golden Knights, The Aces, The Raiders, and the A's. 4 major sport teams will be all be literally on that one block and it's insane.
Fisher talking about the little league team in Henderson is simply trying to gain favor from the crowd. IF any of those kids happen to make it to the MLB and play for the A's Fisher will trade them away in a heartbeat!
Fabulous Vegas , NEVER does anything in an average way ! The fireworks 7 Drone show tribute to it's historic hotel was over the top as expected . Way to go LV ! ( LV is perhaps the ONLY place in the world where NOTHING is meant to last past it's use . It ALL about the Newest and Biggest .
Will really miss this great hotel and casino, the site was used in a famous James Bond film and was where I originally "cut my teeth" playing live poker ... one of THE best poker rooms in the early days for sure.
Tropicana Las Vegas' history also saw it being featured in many classic movies such as Elvis Presley's 1964 Viva Las Vegas, 1971's James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, The Godfather in 1972 and Malcolm in the Middle's fifth season premiere in 2003
The land was worth more than the building. The Tropicana would need a ground up renovation and still not be able to compete with the rest of the hotels in the area
Why is this celebrated with fireworks?? I think it’s terrible to be destroying perfectly good, historical casino hotels. Waste of money…😡 shame on them!
This should not have happened..Tropicana should have had some sort of protected status..this was an Iconic place..this wasn't the Fiesta Rancho..this is really, really sad.
As a Oakland A's fan, I STRONGLY disagree building a stadium that's NEXT to the vegas trip. Just gonna cause more traffic, more tax, and more chaos. The current A's location is already perfect enough. WHY MOVE TO VEGAS WHERE ITS ALREADY PACKED ENOUGH?!?! Maybe add another hotel to have more room for guests to stay? Or add a parking garage or parking lots so people can find parking? Also we need to get rid of John Fisher bc he's just not a good boss and so that the A's can stay in Oakland. A'S PLS STAY IN OAKLAND!!
No implosion is happening there. The hotel tower and main casino building is still going to stand tall with the guitar tower replacing the now demolished volcano
I find this bizarre, like the UK celebrating the destruction of historic buildings with fireworks, just would never happen. She didn't need a "send off", she was being murdered , not sent on holiday! No wonder the USA has no history!! P.S I was in Vegas that night, would not watch this vandalism. I am sure they could find space to build a new stadium a mile or two up the road!!
Lol not yall saying there lost lol rents about to go up more Californias are going to move to Vegas let’s see who get the last laugh 🤣 😂 when cali people do a Vegas take over shii I’m here we comeing
That was a spectacular show, kudos to all involved who sent Tropicana off in style

Sad to history disappear! Lots of memories in the dust!
I work
35years
At
Trop
Your now with the dunes, hacienda, sands, Aladdin, el rancho, desert inn, boardwalk, stardust, frontier, and riviera
Excellent send off! Wish I was there. To newer and better things!
Nobody does an implosion like Vegas!
At 13:47 look for the falling star, top right hand corner of the screen.
AMAZING ! on channel 13 w/the time on their frame 2:13 lol
Nice catch! It adds some magic to the spectacle.
So long to the Tropicana Casino... It made some good memories.
Watching from Australia, great coverage, so interesting the history of Las Vegas , the Tropicana is so well known worldwide
As a las Vegas native thanks for Watching this love 🇦🇺
ALOHA TROPICANA
Oh wow... Very interesting ❤🎉😊
makes me wanna cry

I pulled up at 2:30 & watched it from the Excalibur seemed pretty public to me 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching the game show "Las Vegas Gambit" in the early 80's, which took place at that hotel.
I'm sad to see tropicana go, i'm shedding tears of sadness😢😭🥺
Base ball just fucking ruined 60 years of history and it’ll probably end up like the sphere, a waste of money
the sphere is great (I saw u2 and the Eagles) but baseball sucks
The Sphere is wildly popular lol
💯

I'm pretty sure the world will keep turning around, without even take a 7th inning pause to stretch.
I cant believe all of that is gone
TOTALLY wish I had my "usual" room at MGM!! Damn...perfect view..😂
I wish I was older so I could have enjoyed seeing the Rat Pack and all those old acts. Born in '64.
Fisher talking about the little league team in Henderson is simply trying to gain favor from the crowd. IF any of those kids happen to make it to the MLB and play for the A's Fisher will trade them away in a heartbeat!
When is the implosion ????
Already happened
wow, cool show! best drone and fireworks i evar scene! y don't day do this on new years eve! prolly cost too much lolz
30:54
Its sad to see it go like this 😢
I'm trying to find video of this without narration. WHy the hell do people have to narrate what I'm seeing with my own eyes.
Erase the past control the future
Fabulous Vegas , NEVER does anything in an average way ! The fireworks 7 Drone show tribute to it's historic hotel was over the top as expected . Way to go LV ! ( LV is perhaps the ONLY place in the world where NOTHING is meant to last past it's use . It ALL about the Newest and Biggest .
Vegas has to be Extra with everything 😃
Peter Carlito & GLPI thanks for helping this rich spoiled NEPO baby rip it's beloved team out of it's community. Enjoy your drone show 😤
So sad IMO, to lose history for something so insignificant and worthless as a baseball park! Hopefully it will be a total flop!
End of an era
Would have loved to hear the music instead of talking
@37:11 ty
I've seen several implosion. The first in 1973, maybe one of the first.
I’m all choked up. Not sure if it’s the smoke or the dust.
The Gamble Smart RUclips channel got great footage from atop NYNY. 😊

I worked there in 2010 and that hotel is definitely haunted. Seen some stuff 😮😮😮 hope those souls can rest in peace now and new beginnings come.
I’m the owner an was not notified
Man removing this work of art just to make room for a 30 win baseball team. stupid
The Mirage drone show will have the Mirage sign, dolphins and volcano pictures
They're not imploding the Mirage, the towers are just getting new glass and interior renovations.
I can’t wait A’s Move to Las Vegas Nv and I can’t wait see Make new ballpark
Why did getting rid of the Tropicana?
The land was worth more than the building. The Tropicana would need a ground up renovation and still not be able to compete with the rest of the hotels in the area
Im sad for the employees it makes no sense to me.
Where’s Lucy?
Well, there goes my pension!
Changes God bless
Hopefully, McCarran was not having any flights at that time😮
Why is this celebrated with fireworks?? I think it’s terrible to be destroying perfectly good, historical casino hotels. Waste of money…😡 shame on them!
These two belong on the 2 am shift...😢😢
Can't hear much of what they're saying??
What happened to their 🎤🎤 mics??
Its sad to destroy history for something nobody wants.
Speak for yourself you don’t speak for the entire city loser
Omg. Did a plane hit them?
Jet fuel can't melt concrete beams!
@uzlonewolf you're the only one that has said such a thing. 1 building was cement
1 was steel. Was it 2 planes or 1.
Who the f is an A's fan😂
67.5 years
The towers were built in 1957. They were 67 years old
Looks like something I seen on 9/11/2001
just like wtc bldg 7....🤔🤔🤔
So who bet the A'S on the poker table?😅
Hell no that team is ass I’d bet sf over the As any day 😂😂
A new baseball stadium and a 3,000 room Bally’s resort will replace the Tropicana
This should not have happened..Tropicana should have had some sort of protected status..this was an Iconic place..this wasn't the Fiesta Rancho..this is really, really sad.
Its bizarre isnt it, they have destroyed every single historic strip hotel now. Its just vandalism
35 min before the implosion. You guys are pagans hahaha
Looking north. nyny hotel at the right
You will see something similar to the Mirage in early 2025
they aren’t imploding it but HRI is renovating it with the mirage’s body still standing
The two towers were built in 1957
Next door hotel Green and yellow and A’s green and yellow

The A’s will come in 2028
@@miningthecows7662Welcome to LV A’s
Sorry California your lost
Called the governor to get a stay on the demolition. I didn’t get a response
You did what?
Like one person was gonna do any of that 😂 cmon now
Next is the Mirage in early 2025
No implosion is happening there. The hotel tower and main casino building is still going to stand tall with the guitar tower replacing the now demolished volcano
Over rated. Idk y people pay so much $ for hotels to c this
How much does everyone wanna bet that the baseball stadium is going to be the next thing imploded on the strip?
Beautiful ceremony, but what a waste!
🤦🏼
Hahaha don’t let Oaklanders make you believe the team isn’t coming. It is
Too bad, so sad :(
Nothing is sacred in Las Vegas...(I should probably trademark that statement)
Bye Tropicana
Reminds me of 9-11 but I know that planes and jet fuel made building 7 fall…
Oh wait…
