Stayed there 12 years ago or so because i knew it would be gone someday. It was retro old casino but still clean and great for its time.They need to keep a few of the old ones .
I’ve seen two implosions in my area and they were fun to watch. One even had eight ‘dummies’ inside to see if they could be recovered - only got four out. Plus, they had cameras on the ground floor facing inside. Fun to see.
I was lucky enough to stay and attend 2 conventions at the Trop and one at the Sands. Now they're both gone. When will the Flamingo fall victim to progress?
to build a stadium for a failed sports team that has alrady burned through a few cities after long stays then leaves. Won't be here long ...it's an A's thing...
Well besides the respirable silica which is deadly, the one building is structural steel. The steel is painted with lead paint so lead dust will be in the dust cloud too.
Most of the asbestos has been removed supposedly. But now they're going to pollute the air with fireworks too! Isn't that smart? So the air will be bad from the moment of implosion and then during the cleanup which will take some time to get rid of all that crap and every time the wind blows etc etc. You know the drill. Masks come in handy in the state of Nevada. 😷 🫁
😢 Wish someone or some organization can stop this. The 2 towers still have GOOD BONES and STRUCTURE to be SAVED. You can tell those towers were built well. They can really be fully renovated like this. Pray and hope God will stop this and that sradium from going there. This all bc Bally's is in financial dispair snd their other resorts were in negative. The Trop was actually in POSIYIVE CASH FLOW til the end. Bally's is a sell out, now being bought out and merging with another company after all this. Anything for a buck. No respect for the Trop her legacy, history, beauty, or contribution to the city. Didrespectful to all the employees, entertainers, and patrons. The As couuld have taken that other parcel where the other casio was tore down almost ,20 years ago and vacant since. The team has yet to pay up funds or submit drawings!plans by their due date. This is duch a sham and a shame. Long live the Tropicana! All the memories and beauty. God bless all those who worked there and gave so much to that hotel snd us guests. 😂
It's happening, and you can't do anything about it. we do this to make way for future development, and besides, baseball stadiums are more fun than gambling
No similarities! WTC had NO series multi floor explosions prior to it's collapse! Take a look at all the prep on Trop! You could NEVER get away with that unnoticed! STOP with all the conspiracies. Have a little pride in you own country and stop helping the Taliban!
My first Hotel I stayed at in Las Vegas! 45 years ago...
I was in the Tropicana in 1987. The roulette wheel hit 17 three times in a row.
Thank you Tropicana! You were a great oasis to visit. Ya know, back when people went to Las Vegas to gamble.

I'm gonna miss this place. I haven't been there in forever but they had a great buffet..
The Tropicana was one of the oldest casinos in the strip that is getting imploded
I’ve seen two implosions in my area and they were fun to watch. One even had eight ‘dummies’ inside to see if they could be recovered - only got four out. Plus, they had cameras on the ground floor facing inside. Fun to see.
Very well presented, thank you.
The first tower had 600 rooms and the second tower had 806 rooms
The new Bally’s resort will also open after the new baseball stadium opens
Good times at the pool there. 😊
This town has changes and new ideas. Miami does to. Orlando is like Atlantic city. Going nowhwrer
AC had and still has a lot of potential. It’s just a logistical nightmare to build on a very populated island.
Stayed in this hotel almost 30 yrs ago.
The Tropicana is 1 year older than the Stardust
The Mirage is also preparing for implosion in early 2025
Taking it down is cheaper than renovating it
The Tropicana is unable to compete with the new megaresorts
I think I was conceived there. Good times, yes sir ree Bob, good times. 👍 ❤
😂😂😂 awesome, we had orgies there
The new baseball stadium will be built from April 2025 to January 2028
This hotel had the dirtiest and most outdated rooms in Las Vegas
All that concrete will now be recycled into Toyotas
I was lucky enough to stay and attend 2 conventions at the Trop and one at the Sands. Now they're both gone. When will the Flamingo fall victim to progress?
The new baseball stadium will occupy 9 acres and the new Bally’s resort will occupy 26 acres
The new baseball stadium will be better
Going Going Gone, how original...
The Empire State building, still being used today. Built almost a hundred years ago.
Pyramids are better.
There will be no public viewing areas in order to prevent dust inhalation.
Every thing is falling into place? Well, I guess it remains to be seen.
Hotels built in the 1950s is not for the 2020s
ya build a stadium that's going to be closed 99 percent of the time . not like a Casino that generates revenues 24/7. how many bribes were paid !.
2:30am? What time zone?
Good thing this 1950s hotel will be gone
What will the build in its place
A new baseball ⚾️ stadium 🏟 for the Oakland Athletics
A new baseball stadium and a Bally’s resort
I hope they don't blow me to smithereens, I'm 67 too!!
same here, geez...
They will if you sneak in there for a last night stay😂
22 seconds plus 6 months of prep work yep 22 seconds lol
Just sad to see all the old casinos get torn down
Hope that whatever is built next is built to last. Seems so wasteful.
This one is particularly painful.
It’s normal for Las Vegas
to build a stadium for a failed sports team that has alrady burned through a few cities after long stays then leaves. Won't be here long ...it's an A's thing...
Yavapia county development of addressing, The whole area would collapse ,
Its a shame a lot of history there. Anything for a buck
how is the air quality afterwards....not good..
Lol
Worst than a dust storm
Well besides the respirable silica which is deadly, the one building is structural steel. The steel is painted with lead paint so lead dust will be in the dust cloud too.

It was NOT an implosion. An implosion is "an instance of something collapsing violently inward:".
Wasn't much left.....it come down fast
Good times are gone bad times are coming. Tropicana will soon to be rubble.
😢 Wish someone or some organization can stop this. The 2 towers still have GOOD BONES and STRUCTURE to be SAVED. You can tell those towers were built well.

The towers have structural problems
The Tropicana is outdated. Caesars now owns the Tropicana name
Tropicana properties that cannot be owned by Caesars will be Bally’s. The Tropicana is too old for a rebranding
Was this the same company that did building 7?
Naw they found a cheaper “company “ this time…
Don't be absurd.
Why the video his over 2 minutes.
Again.. really??
There are no public viewing areas, right?
Lol. There is always thousands of people at all Vegas implosions.
Probably the Excalibur or Luxor parking lots. But if the wind blows that direction, everyone would be breathing in dust, concrete and metal particles.
Vegas people use to watch nuclear testing, go on down there and enjoy the show.
This was Click Bait... no explosions here....
I wasn't expecting clickbait. I knew it wasn't being torn down for another week.
The Tropicana will be gone next week.
😢😢😢
How can we stop this from happening!!!
It's happening, and you can't do anything about it. we do this to make way for future development, and besides, baseball stadiums are more fun than gambling
Come again…. What? “Stop this from happening?” Little too late for that don’t ya think?
go stand under the building. you can stop it!
It’s been completely gutted. It is ready to come down.
Our Clark County Commissioners, fearful of losing their campaign funding from the casino moguls, vote 6-0 for everything the casino moguls want.
It'd be easier to ask David Copperfield to walk across the street and make it disappear.
There will be no public viewing areas for safety reasons.
That's how fast the twin towers went down🤔
No similarities! WTC had NO series multi floor explosions prior to it's collapse! Take a look at all the prep on Trop! You could NEVER get away with that unnoticed! STOP with all the conspiracies. Have a little pride in you own country and stop helping the Taliban!
Liked
Mandalay bay glass was broke 90 minutes before the shooting but let's all forget that
It puts the lotion in the basket.
Sure buddy
They hired the same contractors they used for Bldg #7
🦩
scam video
Big deal, it only took FJB 3.5years to bring down a 250yo nation.
What a lot of BS (waste of time).
How much more time would it take for trump tower to be reduced to rubble?
The shotgun blast they mentioned was like Trump’s assassination attempt in July.
Just like the world trade
You're ridiculous.
The shotgun blast they mentioned was like Trump’s assassination attempt in July.
Not funny 😒
Shoot, that IS pretty dang funny. What a blast of a comment. I’d call that an “eye opening” experience but it was definitely heard around the world 😂
Lamest comment of the week.
