Of all the implosions I’ve watched in Las Vegas since 1999, I can’t remember one being prefaced with three minutes of fireworks. Here’s the whole shebang of the demolition of the Riviera‘s Monaco Tower, marred only by an unfortunate change of camera angle, just as the building’s collapse gains momentum. Due to asbestos issues, I wonder if the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority will make such a big production of the implosion of the Monte Carlo tower, expected to happen in August. Anyway, since implosions are the guilty pleasure of casino lovers, here’s more footage for you …
It’s a Riviera film festival, by golly!
The implosion was more than one guy’s car alarm could handle.
