Tropicana Display & Demolition Recap

In October 2024 I had the rare opportunity to (1) witness the historical demolition of a legendary Las Vegas casino, and (2) work with a professional videography group who’ve been longtime industry friends.

For one glorious and dusty week in Sin City, I joined a professional videography team to document the demolition and pre-demo fireworks and drone display of the Tropicana Las Vegas buildings.

In addition to recording the display from a vantage point, I assisted the video team with capturing media on the ground before and after the demolition.
