The 22-story Monte Carlo tower at the shuttered Riviera Hotel & Casino is imploded along with the property's remaining structures on August 16, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 60-year old Las Vegas Strip resort closed in May 2015, when it was purchased by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, which plans to use the site to make room for more convention space as part of its USD 1.4 billion Las Vegas Convention Center District project. The Riviera's 24-story Monaco Tower was imploded in June. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
