Tropicana Las Vegas has officially received a permit to implode its two hotel towers.
The Clark County Building Department issued a commercial demolition implosion permit on Monday, Sept. 23, according to public records.
According to the permit, the scope of the work is the implosion of the two 22-story towers. Controlled Demolition Inc. is listed as the contractor.
The valuation of the work is listed at $1.2 million.
Bally’s Corp., which operated the Tropicana casino-resort up to its closure in April, said it plans to host a celebration for the implosion next month.
Bally’s and the Oakland Athletics will host a commemorative event featuring a drone and fireworks display before the towers come down, which is scheduled for 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Removing the Tropicana will clear the way for building a new baseball stadium to host the Athletics. Team officials say they expect to begin construction early next year and complete the stadium in time for the 2028 season.
