The Las Vegas New Frontier hotel blown up in spectacular fashion

Everybody likes giant explosions, especially when they're combined with a sweet fireworks display. You know it, I know it, and Las Vegas knows it. That's why the destruction of the New Frontier hotel and casino in sin city was done in typically crazy fashion.

Involving a huge fireworks display and including fireworks shooting out of the soon-to-be-destroyed windows of the hotel, it's certainly one of the coolest controlled demolitions we've seen. And while it's sad to see another relic of old Vegas bite the dust, you just know they're planning to build yet another over-the-top, ridiculous hotel/casino in it's place. It'll still be Vegas, don't worry.

pretty sure they are building more condos over there as opposed to a hotel. the wynn already has a new tower going up right next to that site.
