Tropicana Las Vegas Demolition 07 01 2024

[@edhamtil5380]

Top levels are the two story penthouses

[@steveegbert3554]

I stayed there in 1997 for my honeymoon. It as much more colorful and looked a lot better. Had a nice room on a high floor of the front tower, the view down the strip was great.

[@reapercrew618]

I saw videos of the inside of the Tropicana they still have a lot of furniture from the sale left over on the casino floor . Security is still inside watching the property.

[@danettebell5530]

I don’t like heights either

[@Jackiewicz64]

The suites on the top floors were mostly two levels with a spiral stair case that goes to the top level. There are some KZbin videos of them as well. They were pretty large suites and some were very high tech with all the touch screen panels, lights, sound and video.

The mirage is closing too but on my birthday 😢

[@vegasmarc7252]

Actually it's 5 arenas close to each other (6 if you count the Thomas & Mack Center but that place is further away from the rest) MGM Grand Garden Arena, T-Mobile Arena, Michelob Ultra Arena, Allegiant Stadium, and the future A's ballpark.

[@Raiders1967]

I remembered the MGM Grand Garden after I downloaded the video. I forgot about the T & M. This could be a crazy busy area.

[@wilsonk1464]

Much lesser in size, but also near are The Orleans Arena and Battle Bots arena.

Looks like at the 14:33 mark when you are showing the dust cannons, looks like escelators are moving.

Duntov DOIN' WORK to keep us all up to date! Thanks Duntov!

[@williamllawrence5825]

If that guard told you not to raise your camera over the wall, why don't you just fly your drone up to about 10 or 15 feet and have a look? The FAA can't say much about that.

[@checkoutmyyoutubepage]

It’s really close to the airport. He’d definitely get noticed.

[@KaliforniaLA]

Did they demo the stained glass ceiling or save it?

[@Raiders1967]

I saw a post that they saved it. They crated it up. I haven't heard where it is going.

[@gregnosal3297]

The city must be turning the south end of the Strip into a Sports Complex area? To bring in more revenue/profits? I mentioned to you I'm a truck driver and drove through Vegas a few dozens times and stopped by between 1990 and 2008. I got to see old Vegas.

[@miningthecows7662]

The South Strip is the prime spot for sports

[@StevenWhitaker-m6t]

Hey Duntov! I believe the front tower circa 1978 is all framed with steel beams and girders with concrete decks. Whereas the back tower circa 1986 is all concrete beams, girders and decking Just a little tidbit , not sure if one tower will have different means to implode than the other based on that

[@jlopez8719]

Thanks for pointing out how close the ballpark will be to the other major sports facilities. Also to the east on Tropicana is Thomas and Mack arena.

[@akshonclip]

They are removing everything ahead of the Loizeaux Group implosion later this year. They have found it is much easier to recover the steel and concrete for recycling without all the other debris mixed in.

[@tuyetvo4353]

Is not easy … ?????????

[@markeast9221]

You would think they would start from the top floors down , so stuff would not get caught on the floors below !

[@tuyetvo4353]

They know what they doing ….

[@miningthecows7662]

The new baseball stadium will be built from April 2025 to January 2028

[@edhamtil5380]

20 man crews per floor. One floor per week. 4am to noon.

[@miningthecows7662]

The proximity to other stadiums is the reason why the Tropicana is being demolished for a new baseball stadium.

[@miningthecows7662]

A new Bally’s resort will be built on the remaining Tropicana land

[@ScottysAir]

Hey buddy! Thanks for sharing this! You have a great day today. Stay hydrated and stay safe! Drinks a lots of water.

Steel studs

[@BoulderCityBlues]

A’s YES …Fisher NO ..

[@miningthecows7662]

The new baseball stadium will be better

[@edhamtil5380]

Strips of metal are wall studs

[@lindaboguslawske3996]

littel dust shut it down just joking

[@larsherdemeier]

Looks like sprayed asbestos on the steel beams. Is there no proper dismantling? How are guests in the neighborhood protected?

[@uzlonewolf]

Big business and money don't care about the neighborhood residents.

[@bronxpinstripes]

[@paulm.newitt3246]

I wonder how they're moving the Bobcats from one floor up to the next? Will it fit in the elevator?

[@edhamtil5380]

Yes

[@tuyetvo4353]

@@edhamtil5380 / no way ??????????

[@XFIGHTINGDREAMERX245]

The demolition crew brings in a mobile crane to move the Bobcats from floor to floor.

[@kennixox262]

Let's not forget that sports venues have a relatively short lifespan before the billionaire team owners demand a new stadium. A perfect example was the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, completed in 1992. While aesthetically, it left much to be desired and the roof was fixed in place it was perfectly suitable but perhaps with fewer luxury boxes for the billionairs. It was replaced several years ago with a new one. Don't expect the Raiders stadium or the new baseball facility to last much beyond 2050.

[@XAM-cq2ng]

😂 your a 🤡 the A’s will be in Las Vegas beyond 2050!! There stadium lease is for 30 years after 2028!! Hahaha you must be a Bay Area resident!! 😂 Las Vegas A’s is happening get used to it!! 💯

[@miningthecows7662]

The new baseball stadium will be the home of the Oakland Athletics until at least 2058

[@kennixox262]

@@miningthecows7662 Yes I do know that and as crazy as it seems and I probably won't be around then, 2058 is just around the corner. It will be here a lot sooner than many expect.

[@bronxpinstripes]

@@miningthecows7662 Actually, it will be the home of the Las Vegas Athletics.

[@ERICC0941]

Seeing and hearing how Vegas is falling apart, all of the casinos are closing are they going to make any money with the new casinos and the other properties they’re going to be putting up soon are they going to be making money or is this going to become a ghost town 😮

[@bronxpinstripes]

Well, my guess is that if they're building new resort casinos that they expect to continue to make money. It's kinda how capitalism works.

[@thomasking4871]

The Tropicana will not be imploded.

[@bronxpinstripes]

They're just going to leave the gutted buildings standing?

[@thomasking4871]

@@bronxpinstripes it will be deconstructed floor by floor

[@ERICC0941]

Hey, my name is Eric . I am putting a prediction in with all the casinos that have been in this area and now they’re closing moving out changing hands. I’m giving a prediction within the next five years. This is all going to become a ghost town. The money has dried up. Nobody has any money anymore to spend, this is the way the world is going no more casinos no money coming into town. The ball fills their building are only going to be for as long as the team is doing good and then the ball parks will be shut down when the teams are not doing good. 😢

[@dean98052]

I predict you're wrong

[@miningthecows7662]

July 4th is the implosion

[@dean98052]

According to what source? It's just a rumor. It takes at least a month to set explosives and they can't start that until the demo crew moves out. So what's your source buddy?
