Going, Going, Gone

Top, a fireworks display precedes the implosion of the New Frontier on the Strip in the early hours of Nov. 13. The hotel-casino was imploded after closing its doors for good in July to make way for The Plaza, a project to be modeled after the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Top right, the New Frontier begins its tumble to the ground. Bottom right, the hotel-casino is reduced to a massive cloud of gray dust after a 65-year run.photos by Louie Traub/View Advertisement
