The Tropicana Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, a fixture on the Strip for 67 years, was demolished in a dramatic early morning implosion on October 9, 2024. The event featured a fireworks display and a 555-drone show, with drones spelling out "Tropicana" and "Thank You" before nearly 2,200 pounds of explosives brought down the building. Although public viewing was restricted due to safety, nearby hotel guests had a clear view of the spectacle.
Once known for its glamour and ties to Las Vegas history, including visits from the Rat Pack, the Tropicana will make way for a new $1.5 billion baseball stadium for the Oakland Athletics, revitalizing the Strip with another iconic venue
