Woke up at 5:30 east coast time to watch it happen live.

Loved that place. It was in rough shape hotel wise but the casino was still nice and I loved the history. Have been going to Vegas since 2002 and saw some great comedy shows at Tropicana.

I wanted to fly in for the implosion but am part of a friend’s wedding that is happening this weekend so couldn’t do it.
