The demolition of the historic Stardust Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV on 3/13/07. This was to clear the land for a new project, the 4.5 Billion dollar Echelon Place scheduled to open somewhere around 2010.
The Stardust, which opened its doors in 1958, was demolished to make way for a new construction project called Echelon Place. That's the way it is here in Vegas - the city needs to keep re-inventing itself to stay "new". So, they demolish the old buildings every now and then... and the more famous the building, the bigger the celebration to go along with it.
best fireworks display in the world and in the begining when the green and blue fireworks came I dont know if it was just me or did the quality of the video get better.
