Construction is going at a rapid rate. A recent implosion of the Castaways/Showboat in January and The Bourbon Street Hotel in February. March broght on the toppling block of the Stardust, The New Frontier went next in October. The Tropicana Hotel is bound to be next, we all know what dump that place is. The Imperial Palace is as bad if not worse than the Trop, looks as though it may be a year before anything implosive happens there though. We can only hope we knock out all the old dumps in the next few years. Bring on the ultra modern hotels and casinos. Keep up the good work Vegas!
