Vegas Video: Vegas Casino Implosions
Vegas Casino Implosions have been a thing for some time…
This week’s Vegas Video segment is timely and topical, as it focuses Las Vegas Casino Implosions. As you know the Riviera’s next and final implosion will be on August 16th, there will be not only one, but TWO buildings coming down. This video which I found on youtube is compilation casino implosions through the years.

Regrettably, these are casinos I wish I were able to visit, but they were gone too soon. Adding to this list is our own Greg C‘s footage of the Riviera’s (June) Monaco Tower Implosion, shot from two different angles:

I have only been coming to vegas for about 4 years. I would have loved to have visited all of these other casinos. The one I am going to miss the most is the Riviera. I had stayed there once and it was great, Then the news that they were closing it down so I had to stay once more. That was my best trip actually winning some money that time. It is a little more old vegas going bye bye.
The Sands ended the Rat Pack era. The Aladdin was probably the most beautiful, falling like dominos.
