Two towers of the former Tropicana Las Vegas were demolished following a drone and fireworks show to make way for a new Strip baseball stadium.
The iconic Tropicana Las Vegas is no more after it was imploded in the early morning hours on Wednesday. The 22-second demolition of two hotel towers was caught on camera by Bally's Corporation and countless media outlets following a drone and fireworks show. The event took place at 2:30 a.m. The nearly 67-year-old casino and resort ceased operations in April to make way for a new baseball stadium for the Oakland Athletics team that is relocating to Sin City.
The new Las Vegas ballpark that can seat 30,000 fans is set to open in 2028. "The demolition of the Tropicana is an important milestone in the process of bringing A’s baseball to the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip and the community of Southern Nevada," A's owner John Fisher said in a statement. "We hope that, in time, this site will become a place of unforgettable experiences for fans of the game.
