Las Vegas Casino implosion in 2.5 hours
Anyone have a line on a good place to watch the implosion? The 11PM news said don't bother coming down, just stay home and watch it on tv. But I was thinking the Wynn parking garage. Any better ideas?

Any better ideas? [/ QUOTE ] FAR away unless you want to breath in dust and who knows what else that will fly into the air thats been sitting in the building for the past 20 years. I think a lot of LV locals learned their lessons after the Stardust, implosions are best watched on TV - stay away! |

WEIRD - I just opened this thread at 2:11 AM PST, and seconds later hear a 'BOOM' a short distance away......i live near the strip....
Now is that timing or what? |

Transfer is coming through at only 35kbits/sec right now. It's terribly choppy but the audio is there, go figure. This was from running it in IE. I switched to Firefox and it auto loads into Media player, getting 295kbits/sec now. transfer is smooth, implosion in 3 minutes |

That was one awesome display and finale!!! Very creative if I do say so as well. HAHAHA at the guys on top of Wynn parking garage and I hope you brought dust masks or something. Geezus, they're going to have fun cleaning the Wynn and Encore towers off too lol.

The count down and plunger done in fireworks on the side of the building was a pretty cool idea, their timing was a little off though.

It turns out that's good advice TT. Luckily for me they closed down the strip in front of the Wynn so I couldn't get to the self park. And the vantage I found was up-wind so I didn't get the dust. Here are some pictures I took.
