Ballys Corporation, which closed the Tropicana Las Vegas last April and has slowly been demolishing it since, filed an application to implode the casino resorts two 22-story towers on Thursday.
The permit application, filed with Clark County, requests the implosion of the vintage Las Vegas Strip resorts Tropicana Club and Paradise towers in a single explosive event.
Unnamed demolition companies would begin setting up by Sept. 30 at the earliest, and complete the blast before Oct. 8, according to the permit application, which values the cost of the implosion contract at $1.2 million.
Representative of the Ballys Corporation, the operator of the 1950s relic, are keeping mum on all specifics. No doubt, they will try to hide the implosion date from the public, and conduct it in the wee morning hours.
Their only logical goal would be to discourage as many in-person observers as possible, should anything not proceed as planned.
Clark County approved a demolition permit for the site on April 20. Since then, Ballys has been slowly deconstructing the Tropicana, which closed on April 2, just shy of its 67th birthday.
The Oakland As have expressed their intention to build a $1.5 billion, 33,000-seat ballpark on 9 of the sites 36 acres. According to Ballys and Gaming & Leisure Properties, which owns the land, the other 27 acres will be developed as a casino resort.
Critics of the project include Casino.orgs own Vital Vegas blogger Scott Roeben, who has written that the As have shown no signs they have financing for a $1.5 billion anything, including a stadium.
