So long, Riviera Casino and Hotel
The last tower of the iconic Riviera Hotel and Casino was reduced to rubble during an overnight implosion on the Las Vegas Strip August 15, 2016. Watch the video of it coming down...
The demolition of the Monte Carlo tower brought an end to the Strip's first high-rise and one of Vegas' most famous casinos, reports CBS News.
A series of explosions took down the taller, 24-story Monaco tower in June, which was celebrated as an organized spectacle. That event was carried out with flair, complete with a viewing area, local dignitaries and fireworks.
This time, there was no designated viewing area.
Due to the dust, people in nearby businesses and residences were told to either leave the area or stay indoors during the implosion and for a half-hour afterwards, similar to what occurred during the implosion of the taller Monaco tower, reports CBS Las Vegas affiliate KLAS-TV.
