Tropicana Las Vegas Demolition Update 08 12 2024

[@colbyjack7074]

Duntov going to great lengths. Overcoming obstacles, climbing stairs, climbing to new heights to give us great coverage. Thank you Duntov!

[@paulm.newitt3246]

Getting out there early, and showing us what's going on is always greatly appreciated!

[@whiv]

Great update on the Tropicana demolition!

[@charlesmurray4013]

You Are Doing A Very Good Job On These Videos , You Are A Pro, Thank You For Keeping Us Informed. Looking Forward For Your Next Video.

[@lr3661]

Enjoyed the video! Thanks for posting.

[@kenhoughton7659]

FYI: The rebar is removed from concrete and recycled. The concrete is then ground up and used as aggregate. Not much goes to landfill.

[@MylesBrooklyn]

Thank you!! I appreciate your videos, I wish you would have gotten a little footage from the Oyo parking deck of the progress around the south side of the club tower, Wednesday through Sunday I take my wife to work at Mandalay Bay via Koval/Giles and I keep waiting for them to finish demolishing whatever is at the base there, they have most of it gone now with the exception of the southeast side of the tower, at the base. It seems like they've stalled somewhat, it's the exact same as it was a week ago.

[@crchuckh6852]

stay cool, thanks for sharing

[@wayneblais8368]

Great videos

[@Robear-fm4vw]

I do watch a lot of vegas videos.... the lights at nights are great... but nothing like sunrise in vegas .... thank you for the views

[@SMS-BTHP]

Excellent job of documenting this process! How you get ringside seat when they implode it! Thanks for sharing.

[@jimnalgrin3515]

You don't want a ringside seat. There are 12,000+ cases of cancer from exposure to the dust from the WTC Collapse. The EPA investigated and found most cases were caused by respirable Silica. It has the same pH as Liquid Drano. You don't want to be anywhere you can get hit by the dust cloud.

[@kenlanier2131]

Thanks for the coverage Duntov! Curious does the demo crew work at night since it would be cooler in Vegas? Just wandering, but thought maybe Vegas wouldnt let them for noise reasons. Thanks again for streaming.

[@steveblain6563]

Very well done. Thank you Duntov !! Front Tower seems so close to Las Vegas Blvd, you wonder about implosion?

[@danettebell5530]

They have done a lot since your last video glad to see the Micheal Jackson sign still up iconic for sure hope get a reply on the raiders sign thank you for the updates on the trop

[@LOLAtheDESTROYER]

I think those circle windows that say no demo used to light up the stained glass with some natural light.

[@Darkk6969]

That would make sense. I've been wondering about that.

[@epicone9255]

The portal windows are part of the original 1950s era casino structure. A glimpse of the past for a fleeting moment!

[@epicone9255]

Time Stamp 28:15

[@6aveli]

MJ a damn legend. Still performing nightly.

[@Trueraider22]

Thanks Duntov 🫡

[@hydrus5130]

There were stairs there. Behind the stairs is where the locker room was. Where the GRA cart was kept and towels linen..ect.

[@stevehamel6497]

I think this demo company is doing the demo at the mirage as well.

[@BlackBoi1daybeforeElectionDay]

I never visited Las Vegas before. I only visited Guadalajara, New York, Orlando, LegoLand California, and Newark (only airport)

[@Planettransit]

25:00 that is likely CDI’s crew installing dynamite for the implosion

[@stevengibbs5072]

Under there was the pump room for the waterfall and the laser booth for the show out front.

[@RobertZacharias-f1h]

That lower building part that’s left in the front is the casino.

[@shawnajimenez1369]

I am coming to Vegas the first week of October and heard the implosion is that week. Any confirmed date and time?

[@StaYUTI420]

Most of the concrete from these demos ends up going to the Las Vegas Wash Committee to be used to make erosion control structures in the local waterways.

[@tanyaerickson967]

How come you haven't gone up on the OYO Lately

[@andrewdavidson7656]

They did not waste any time getting the building ready to be brought down.

[@craigventresca-n8p]

Duntov is very persistent, continues to get the shot, even with obstacles all around.

[@stevengibbs5072]

I spent 26yts wandering around that property

[@DavidNgo86]

The orginal casino facade which dates back to the 50's has been exposed

[@Darkk6969]

I am assuming the part where it says No Demo?

[@DavidNgo86]

@@Darkk6969 yes

[@hectick_b]

I thought white high peak roof facade was ugly it’s gone now

[@joesinkovits6591]

Just what the casinos need-this idiotic stadium practically in the middle of the strip to serve as a traffic gridlock generator. Brilliant!

[@BrianWeber-gt4ho]

No real rush as the a's havent put up there share or guaranteed it. I heard the owner asked the county to loan him his share.....

[@bronxpinstripes]

The owner has enough to pay for the ballpark several times over.

[@BrianWeber-gt4ho]

@@bronxpinstripes yup cheap f I r years and made a big amount of his share of TV mony

[@stevengibbs5072]

It was stairs , elevator shafts and linen rooms

[@craigschrock7959]

No boom

[@evillangbuildsmc2468]

First

[@jimnalgrin3515]

Remember when they imploded the Hacienda and the Clarion they left the stairwell/elevator standing.I guess they don't want that to happen again. I remember him saying "Everything went exactly as planned" while he had a 12 story elevator shaft standing behind him.

[@Darkk6969]

Those are known as the core and very hard to implode because they're overbuilt to support the building and not fall over. So there's always a risk it won't come down as planned.

[@thomasking4871]

The Tropicana will not be imploded.

[@bronxpinstripes]

@@thomasking4871 Really? Why's that?

[@thomasking4871]

There’s still a lot of asbestos in the Paradise Tower.

[@stevengibbs5072]

It

[@thomasking4871]

The buildings will be torn down from September 2024 to March 2025.

[@thomasking4871]

Tropicana was denied an implosion permit.

[@bronxpinstripes]

Source?

[@jimnalgrin3515]

The same thing happened to the Harmon

[@a.b1254]

False

[@jimnalgrin3515]

It just makes sense. Why should the local population be exposed to a toxic cancerous cloud of dust just because the Owner wants to have a party and see something go BOOM! It's not safer nor is it faster. If you tear it down conventionally you can control the dust at the source.

[@deniskanos2043]

Wonder why no one thinks to use a drone for footage?

[@quinnsmith2955]

maybe cuz the airport near by and helicopters

[@Deionburns114]

There is a nearby airport duh

[@Darkk6969]

Near the airport and FAA wouldn't like it too much.
