The Tropicana is one step closer to coming down, after property operators submitted a commercial implosion permit application with Clark County officials on Thursday.
A permit application shows Bally’s Corp., operators of the former Rat Pack-era resort, want to implode a 22-story concrete tower and a 22-story steel tower in a “single explosive event.”
A spokesperson for Bally’s said the company is still expecting an October implosion. No other details were available.
The company tasked with the implosion will be Controlled Demolition Inc., according to the application. The Maryland-based company has been behind 13 of the Strip’s implosions.
