Las Vegas Advisor: Trop drops, readying for redevelopment
Oct 13, 2024
On schedule and without a hitch, the two remaining towers of the Tropicana were imploded in the wee hours on Wednesday. It was Las Vegas’ first implosion since the Riviera in 2016 and probably the last for some time (there are no current candidates). Security was tight and the perimeter was wide, disallowing the public from getting within a half-mile of the demolition. After the cleanup, attention will turn to redeveloping the property with what’s expected to be a baseball stadium and casino resort, though no firm plans have been settled on.
