The legendary Tropicana casino and hotel was reduced to a pile of rubble on the Las Vegas Strip. The Tropicana opened in 1957. In its heyday, it was home to the Rat Pack. In 2000 Inside Edition's Stacy Gualandi danced with the Tropicana showgirls. Before the controlled blast, there were fireworks and a spectacular light show using 700 drones. Cameras caught every angle as the 67-year-old structure came crashing down.
