Portions of Las Vegas Strip to close for Tropicana implosion

Portions of the Las Vegas Strip will be closed overnight for the implosion of Tropicana Las Vegas on Wednesday. After 67 years on the Las Vegas Strip, the Trop will cease to exist after Wednesday's implosion. The implosion is set to start around 2:30 a.m. and the show will start with 555 drones dancing in the skies above the iconic hotel, 150 Pyrodrones shooting sparks, and fireworks before nearly 2,200 pounds of explosives bring both towers crumbling down.

Wonderful memories and great hospitality. I'm gonna miss the Trop.

It’s gonna be weird going to Vegas without the Tropicana being around

Horrible. Vegas is becoming so unrecognizable & non historical.

[@wms702]

I know it’s sad, but as Steve Wynn once said history is not significant here, we are about progression and the future.
