The Tropicana in Las Vegas, which had been featured in iconic movies like Diamonds are Forever and The Godfather, was demolished Wednesday morning. The hotel had been part of the strip for seven decades. About 2,000 pounds of explosives were used in the implosion. What will be built in its place? A $1.5 billion-dollar baseball stadium to house the Athletics. Currently, the last standing Las Vegas strip resort from the 1950s is the Sahara. (The Sun)
