El 23 de octubre del 2001 se hizo la implosión del célebre Hotel y Casino “Desert Inn” en Las Vegas, Nevada (U.S.A.).
Fue en éste lugar donde se filmó la versión original de “Ocean’s Eleven” en 1960, que luego la reencarnarían George Clooney y Brad Pitt.
El famoso local de éste casino, el “Crystal Showroom”, fue el escenario de actuaciones de los músicos Liberace, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka, Dionne Warwick, Wayne Newton, Barry Manilow, Cher y Tina Turner, entre otras grandes luminarias de la música mundial.
El riesgo de una ciudad como Las Vegas que constantemente trata de “reinventarse” es que contiene muy pocos edificios erigidos a lo largo de su historia centenaria que no han sufrido una implosión (Aladdin, Sands, Dunes, Landmark, Hacienda, El Rancho y Desert Inn), han sido inundados (The Lost City, una ciudad antigua de los indios Pueblo que fue cubierta por las aguas del Lago Mead) o han sido destruidos por el fuego (como el Moulin Rouge, el primer casino racialmente integrado en Las Vegas).
A pesar del romance que las Vegas tiene con el desarrollo continuo de nuevos edificios, algunos de los monumentos históricos en la ciudad han podido huir de las garras de la destrucción.

http://www.vincentbognot.com/ November 13, 2007 marks a historic day, The New Frontier gets imploded, The New Frontier was considered the last CLASSIC Hotel standing in Las Vegas, but now it’s gone. Replacing The New Frontier is a New York Style Plaza Hotel! In Las Vegas, it’s always “OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW!” This has been the first Frontier Hotel Implosion video on Youtube so far. To be onest, I am sick of all these people buying the old hotels, replacing them with fancy ones. Just look at the Frontier Sign on the hotel! That’s Nevada’s Font in the city! I drive by this part of the city like 4 times a month, and the Frontier, is very very, tiny compared to the hotels surrounding it…… so I guess, it really needed to go…..Well, it used to be…… I’ll miss you Frontier. This building is 65 Years old.

The New Frontier casino-hotel was imploded early Tuesday, giving a violent end to the second property to open on the Las Vegas Strip.
The 16-story hotel tower was felled with over 1,000 pounds of explosives before a group of reporters and bystanders to make way for a multibillion-dollar resort bearing The Plaza brand, which is set to open in 2011.
The New Frontier earned historical notations by becoming the Strip’s first theme casino and hosting Elvis Presley’s debut in the city.
The low-key gambling hall, which opened as the Last Frontier in 1942 with a cowboy village theme and later embraced the space age before returning to its Wild West roots, had become known for bikini bull riding, cheap hotel rooms and $5 craps before it closed its doors for good in July.
The destruction of the New Frontier was the latest step in a dramatic, and expensive, facelift for the northern Strip. The Stardust hotel-casino was imploded in March.
The transformation has made land prices soar and elevated the northern Strip’s importance.
The Last Frontier was the second hotel-casino to open on the Strip, and over its 65 years it played host to such entertainers as Ronald Reagan, Wayne Newton and Siegfried & Roy. Presley performed for the first time in Las Vegas at the resort in 1956. Billionaire Howard Hughes once owned it, and Wynn’s purchase of a minority stake in the 1960s in exchange for heading up the slot and keno departments sparked his career as a casino magnate.
