Historic Las Vegas Tropicana Casino Demolished With 2,000 Lbs. Of Explosives To Make Way For A New Baseball Stadium
On October 9, the historic Tropicana Las Vegas hotel, which opened on April 4, 1957, was imploded to make room for a new baseball stadium.
The third-oldest casino on the strip, Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel closed on April 2, just two days before its 67th anniversary to prepare for its demolition. Many Vegas residents have wondered why the implosion could not be held off for two more days to celebrate the building’s last birthday.
General manager and vice president at the Tropicana Arik Knowles said of the decision, “Let’s not think of it as an ending but as the beginning of something even greater.”

The demolition of the building, which took under 30 seconds, required 2,000 pounds of explosives and four miles of detonating cord. The hotel received fireworks and a 555-drone salute show to celebrate its conclusion.
