Sin City will quite literally blow a kiss goodbye to the Tropicana before first light Wednesday in an elaborate implosion that will reduce to rubble the last true mob building on the Las Vegas Strip.

The Tropicana’s hotel towers are expected to tumble in 22 seconds at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday. The celebration will include a fireworks display and drone show.

The city hasn’t blown up a Strip casino since 2016, when the final tower of the Riviera was leveled for a convention center expansion.

This time, the implosion will clear land for a $1.5 billion baseball stadium for the relocating Oakland Athletics, part of the city’s latest rebrand into a sports hub.

Bugsy & Meyer, Moe Dalitz and all the rest of "The Boys" won't be happy hearing this. In fact, I bet they're all rolling in their graves as I write this. Lol.

I've always wondered with all the history that Vegas has why they have never had leaders who wanted to preserve that history. Can you imagine a city like New York tearing down historical casino hotels if they had them? In Vegas they do not value preserving history.

It breaks my heart. Always loved seeing the Tropicana there. It was obviously very old, but it gave the strip a nice nostalgic appearance. I used to go to the Luxor a lot and I'd often drop by the Tropicana whenever I took a stroll

But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away

I thought it was sad for the Tropicana to be demolished.

Ironically the roof at Tropicana Field in Tampa was blown off yesterday too.

Stardust and so many others before Tropicana.
