Vegas wouldn’t be Vegas without its obsession with staying new and cutting edge. Because of this, hotel implosions have been part of the Las Vegas landscape for the last 15 years as landowners and developers get rid of the old to bring in the new.
KVBC Channel 3 did a special a little while ago where they listed the top ten hotel explosions. Their list includes:

The Landmark
The Dunes
The Aladdin
The Sands
Hacienda
Desert Inn
El Rancho
The Dunes, Tower 2
Castaways
The Boardwalk

The video was put together before the Stardust was imploded last year – I think it definitely would have made it on there!

Vegas is a popular travel destination, and for good reason. Deals are found at practically every locale, from buffets to shows to souvenir shops. But with over two million residents, it’s also a pretty great place to live, offering even more deals to locals!
A trend that’s gaining more popularity lately are “staycations” – a vacation taken close to home. They’re cheap – you don’t have to pay for airfare, hotels, rental cars, etc. – and you get a chance to learn more about your city and discover things about it you may not have known before.
Below the cut are a …read more
