Tropicana casino, relic of Las Vegas's mob era, is brought tumbling down
Briefly

"It was the first implosion in nearly a decade for a city that loves fresh starts, cleared to make way for a new baseball stadium."
"Las Vegas has done, in classic Las Vegas style they've turned many of these implosions into spectacles..."
"From then on, Schumacher said, there was a sense in Las Vegas that destruction at that magnitude was worth witnessing."
"The Tropicana, the third-oldest casino on the Strip, closed in April after welcoming guests for 67 years, and its past under the control of the mob has long cemented its place in city lore."
