Live KTNV broadcast of the North Tower of the Dunes Hotel & Casino being imploded in the middle of the night in 1994. I don't have the first five minutes due to VHS-VCR error.
@coffee4binky BTW, despite to book myself at the Riviera and the IP on my upcoming trip in April...I will book at the Sahara, just to enjoy how does it feels staying there...and my whole idea is making my own version of Lady Gaga's "Dance in the dark" (inside of the room and casino)...
@coffee4binky Yeah, I remember that one...BTW, one of my favorite movies from all the times...At the end of the movie, it appears an instrumental song which points to the real casino whom happens all these stuff (Stardust) and yesterday, I read that the real Mr. Rothstein (Frank Rosenthal) was, indeed, an FBI informant and he has been offered to enter at the Witness Protection program, which he refused...
@yessicaflores79 Don't know anything about crime, presently, at casinos. Don't doubt it, either. I do know that the Mafia used to go into hotels rooms and local houses and steal stuff like no tomorrow, but people turned a blind eye to the Mafia in NV, because they kept both violent gangs, unions, and the state government in line. The movie Casino is accurate about Spilotro having tipsters around town, stealing from guests.
@coffee4binky And the robbery among their rooms (as some reviewers stated on tripadvisor) and the management not doing about it, and the manager saying: "We have Wynn where the Desert Inn once was. We have the Mirage where the Castaways once was. We have Bellagio where the Dunes used to be and we have the MGM Grand where the Marina was. And we can go on and on."...So I guess the Sahara will be demolished...
@yessicaflores79 Groovy is a 1960s word. Also, phonographs and canyons are groovy. Yes, I heard about the Sahara closing, but the reality is that there isn't any loose nor excess money floating around anymore. And it's not like the new owners didn't try, as they were doing improvements and remodeling.
Nah, after seeing the video I made some little research and I discovered this guy working in FOX in FL and found some email adress and I sent the video link to him...I hope so he could get it and see it...
@yessicaflores79 Okay, that's sounds groovy. But what's a Lady Gaga?
