VIDEOS: The Tropicana Las Vegas is just days away from joining the list of Las Vegas hotels that have been blown up over the years.
At 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9, the implosion button will be pressed to bring down the historic resort's two hotel towers. They're expected to collapse within a matter of seconds, according to recent information from Bally's Corporation, which owns the hotel.
Much has been said about the Tropicana's storied history in the months leading up to its impending demise. But the resort will be in good company as it joins the growing list of Las Vegas landmarks that now exist only in our memories.
We combed through Channel 13's archives to find videos of the moments some of those properties were turned to rubble.
