New Frontier Hotel Implosion Las Vegas

The New Frontier was imploded Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007. The 65-year-old casino, the second property built on the famous Las Vegas Strip, was the venue where Elvis Presley made his Las Vegas debut in 1956. It also housed entertainers like Siegfried and Roy, and Wayne Newton; was once owned by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes; and featured one of the longest union strikes in U.S. history.

No implosion hurt as bad as the Stardust. The Frontier had to go badly because of its location. Just like the Tropicana, they could've given the Stardust one more facelift and left it there forever. Now what do you have? A nine story cinderblock, and signs saying DO NOT ENTER, area is condemned.

Fireworks costed much more than the demolition itself.
