Implosion brings down Tropicana casino in Vegas to make way for baseball stadium

The Tropicana hotel on the Las Vegas Strip was imploded early Wednesday, marking the end of the last true mob building in the area.

The event featured fireworks and was the first casino implosion in nearly a decade, paving the way for a new $1.5 billion baseball stadium for the Oakland Athletics.
