Photographer/implosion enthusiast Greg C. looks back on the twilight years of ‘The Trop'
By the time you read this, Tropicana Hotel Casino will have seen its final sunrise. The historic resort at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue is scheduled to be imploded in the wee hours of October 9th, 2024. Another piece of Sin City history will be erased in the name of “progress”.
The Tropicana’s demise has “brought out the kid” in photographer Greg C. My colleague photographed numerous Las Vegas implosions through the years. We first collaborated on the Riviera Hotel Casino implosion in 2016. Now we’re back at it again.
