We wrote HERE about how a feature of American culture is the sentiment given to the past by the preservation of many icons of commercialism.
Although Americans are quick to acknowledge the contribution that business entities have played in their past, they don't seem to have a problem with knocking buildings down that have had their day with theatrical relish.
We like the following video of New Frontier that was imploded in spectacular fashion in 2007. The 65-year-old hotel and casino was the second property built on the famous Las Vegas Strip. It was the venue where Elvis Presley made his Las Vegas debut in 1956. It also housed entertainers like Siegfried and Roy, and Wayne Newton; was once owned by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes.
The final show was a tribute to the past:
Tomahawk
