Clarion Hotel and Casino Demolished in Las Vegas

The Clarion Hotel and Casino off the Las Vegas Strip was demolished in the early hours of Tuesday, February 10. Demolition workers called on an Old West-style trick to take down am elevator shaft and stairwell that survived the explosion. Steel cables were lassoed around the tower which was then finally pulled down using a crane. The 200-room building opened in 1970 as the Royal Inn.
