[@charlesmurray4013]

Great Video , Your Videos Are Off The Charts Good.Thank You For Keeping Us Up To Date.

[@lr3661]

thanks for the update

[@teufelhunden3533]

What they felt was mostly like the concussion of the blast. Most blasters if they do their job right. They know how much to use and not damage the nearby properties.

[@troylea7507]

The front debris pile is taller because the tower was mostly structural steal and the back was all concrete. The machine on the front tower has a 2nd member shear on it.

Hey Dontov, thanks so much for the updates on this video. Great filming footage. ❤❤❤

[@mikelfrance-l6x]

I was there yesterday. Not much visual progress in a week but it seems like the gravel piles are higher and bigger. The main rubble is still about 15 stories tall. Its impressive to watch them work on it.

[@marcneville42]

I like that the "break tree" is still there in the former parking area. Maybe they should preserve it on the site.

[@XFIGHTINGDREAMERX245]

9:30 The water cooler survived the “Trop Drop” (the Tropicana Implosion). It should be rescued and preserved at the Neon Museum.

[@epicone9255]

9:30 shows an intact water cooler complete with the 5 gallon jug still in place!!

CUP.... central utility plant... hvac for the stadium & casino

[@lighttower2931]

No, i think it's a pool deck.

[@jeffreybelluomini5271]

@lighttower2931 you are 100% wrong.. the pools are up front by the hotel towers. cup is HVAC equipment for heating & cooling the stadium & hotel.

[@Darkk6969]

What's funny if you look at 9:28 you can see the water cooler completely intact on the lower level. 🤣

[@Eastsider-F95]

Duntuv do you know about MLS of Las Vegas wants a Stadium on Las Vegas Blvd.

[@davidhastie]

I have seen those big clamps slice through beams like that with ease . We had similar doing demo at the paper mill I worked at they know there stuff and clean up quickly . I am wondering about the dust control it doesn't look that effective . As for the raiders looks like a tough season again . Love the videos keep them coming we will be in Vegas for the NRL game at the end of February 2025

[@KQMcKinnon]

Great work, as always. Truly enjoyable... as far as the World Series... I hate both LA and NY in general....lol

[@retiredstalker]

designer must of spent too much time down under at the Sydney Opera house

[@waderue]

Ya the video dropped but that ok but the new ballpark looks cool

[@Ironhead299]

What camera do you use? I really like that zoom quality.

[@Raiders1967]

It's a Canon PowerShot SX 70HS

[@westsparks6844]

The front debris pile is steel beams, the back is concrete. The concrete probably pancaked making it flatter. The steel beams couldn't flatten out like the concrete tower

[@kimwilliford6303]

Mickelfrance, I think it's great progress so far

[@michaelcanney7218]

At this rate, the A's will move to another city before its built

[@ViliamJakubek]

Water cooler still sitting in the back of the front tower after all that. 😮 9:30

[@carlm919]

nice zooms

[@JeremySierra]

From what I read the front tower was mainly made from steel and the back was concrete.

[@michaelrengey899]

Friday is game #1 :)

[@ViliamJakubek]

The red pipes look like the original water supply for the Tropicana. I belive it was close by the back tower seeing the orange paint on the wall behind it. 🙃

[@marcneville42]

The pipes are a manifold constructed of Victaulic pipe. It's easy to assemble, and one common use is for fire suppression systems. That space was one of the mechanical rooms behind a hotel tower. If the city water pressure is good, then you're right about the source water.

[@waderue]

Also why are crushing the concrete is to us it for road base and dirt road because compact really good

[@JamesCee]

its not a pump. its valves. my guess is that's the original city water main for the old hotel

[@jameshernan1830]

Yes Friday everybody else is telling you at 5:08

[@evillangbuildsmc2468]

Are you going to the Mirage?

[@luisagonzales1442]

Water main from street

[@renardfranse]

TERMINATOR war of the machines......LOL

[@markbakovic4978]

World Series starts October 25 2024 Friday at 8pm Et time or 5pm pt at Dodger Stadium

[@SG-sj6cw]

The water is to control asbestos contamination

[@DMAN-xk5ni]

This stadium will be a nightmare to access in the future. One of the busiest intersections in the country not to mention the airport in its backyard. If this team was meant for the locals, why put it there?Vegas only cares about the tourists definitely not the locals. Such a waste, at least put it next to allegiant and have some type of sports complex for both teams.

[@ChuckGrunewald-i1o]

I agree with you on that

[@WaileaGurl]

Still think it’s a big waste of time and money. All sports are rigged.

[@DeborahStrohofer]

I wish they would leave this place alone
