The company who demolished the Dunes hotel & sign explain how it was done. I was sad to see the sign go. After seeing it in so many old films, it was one of the things I wanted to see when I went to Las Vegas. It really is a shame they didn't keep it like those of the Stardust and others.

  • I've often thought that Las Vegans have no respect for their fair city's long, colorful-and let's not mince words here-brutal history. They should preserve at least one of those old casinos and turn it into a museum.

  • @baarbear Some of the old lights were kept and du,ped in the desert. What good is that? They should be on display otherwise what's the point of keeping them.

  • They blew up the sign too?!

    Damn, nothing's sacred...

  • @supersaver87 It fell just before the building - while it was lit! A bit hard to see as the flames/explosion hide it.

  • Destroying the sign while it was lit was very barbaric and disrespectful.

    It should of been saved for the neon museum. Next to the Stardust, the Dunes was my favorite sign.

  • Fuck you Steve Wynn!!!!!!

  • If I was rich, I would buy out wynn and demolish all his hotels. And demand that they rebuild Dunes like it was back in 1968 just a few upgrades.

  • This video made me deaf in my right ear.

  • @fafnir242 Well if it had to go, it's best this way than over a few days behind a mass of scaffolding.

  • @ckyisyourfuture When the Stardust fell, someone shouted 'Go baby'! Sick or what!

  • @lexichronicle2 English countryside tea and cakes?!!! When were you last here? 1912?

  • @heene lollmfaorotflwsms(laughing out loud laughing my fucking ass off rolling on the floor laughing while shitting myself)

  • "...the main risk in working with aviation fuel obviously it's fuel...um, no smoking" ha
