Las Vegas, June 14th 2016 - The famous Riviera Hotel & Casino stands for the last time.
To celebrate it's glorious past and to welcome the future, Firework By Grucci, provided a fitting fireworks show to precede the final implosion.

Thousands of people gathered at 2:00 am to watch the implosion at a VIP viewing party, parties in nearby high rises, and on the streets themselves surrounding the Riviera, which was the 9th property to open on the Las Vegas Strip. The 24-story Riviera opened April 1955 and closed in May 2015. The hotel had more than 2,100 rooms and the casino featured 110,000 square feet of gaming space. It was the first high-rise hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
