New Frontier Hotel Implosion Las Vegas

Quote:

The New Frontier was imploded Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007. The 65-year-old casino, the second property built on the famous Las Vegas Strip, was the venue where Elvis Presley made his Las Vegas debut in 1956. It also housed entertainers like Siegfried and Roy, and Wayne Newton; was once owned by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes; and featured one of the longest union strikes in U.S. history.

That was a sick video, the fireworks were amazing, lol at the car alarm. Its would suck to have a car parked around that area, all the dust.

I saw on the news that right before the building came down someone on the ground and someone with a camera
caught a door closing.
They started a search for anyone or anything that could have slipped through,but it also could have been the wind closing the door.
