HOTELS

Tropicana Implosion Date Set

We finally have a date for the Tropicana’s implosion - 2:30 am on October 9. Implosions are done in the early morning hours to prevent dust and traffic disruptions during regular hours.

“Pending approvals, Bally’s Corporation and the Oakland A’s are set to host a commemorative event on the morning of October 9, featuring a spectacular drone and fireworks display by Fireworks by Grucci concluding with the implosion of the Tropicana slated for 2:30 a.m.,” according to a Bally’s spokesperson.

💥Both 22-story towers are coming down in a single implosion.
