LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – An implosion demolition permit for the Tropicana Las Vegas was officially filed with Clark County Thursday.
The iconic 1950-era hotel first announced plans for a Fall demolition in March and would close its doors on April 2. The county was officially issued a commercial demolition permit in April, alongside efforts to remove asbestos from the property.
The filing requested the implosion of the 22-story Tropicana Club alongside its 22-story Paradise Tower. This will clear the way for the Oakland A’s to begin construction on its planned $1.5 billion ballpark.

The permit is currently pending.
