Out With A Bang!

Gamblers, convention participants, tourists and the entire world had a special opportunity given them on November 13 to watch the implosion of the Frontier Hotel and Casino, a Las Vegas Strip landmark.

Thousands have stepped out of the casino floors on Tuesday night - something rarely done in Vegas - to watch the extravagant fireworks show that was followed by the implosion of the aforementioned hotel. TV crew cameras and personal digital cameras too followed the exciting moments and broadcast the spectacular event to the entire world.

The event served the city of Las Vegas well, its lights in full force and an exciting event filling the air with a historical sense. As for the hotel itself, the world has learned that the Frontier has hosted Elvis Presley in his Vegas debut in 1956, and Diana Ross in her final performance with The Supremes in 1970.

As for the site, the world has learned of the gigantic plans to build a new Plaza Las Vegas, modeled after the New York Plaza, both from the Elad Group. The $8 billion project will include luxury apartments, a shopping mall and, of course, a casino.

The explosive devices set in sequence (they took weeks to set in place) have blasted this desert gambling capital onto the newspapers' front pages. Welcome to Las Vegas, they read.

Welcome to where not only growth is booming, but so are terrific boomings and spectacular projects.
