I wish they didn't demolish famous Las Vegas Landmark. It was very impressive looking back in the 60's. I guess Las Vegas prefer to keep everything new and stay in style no matter what.

I think the massive City Creek project in Downtown Salt Lake City replaced it.

Widely regarded as the most beautiful destruction of a Vegas Hotel is the Landmark in 1995. The best view of it is in Mars Attacks, but I was unable to embed it here.
It splits in two by design for the movie by undercutting the western half of the tower, then having that half slowly drag the rest of it down by tipping over onto itself. You should post that one.
The Dunes was the biggest show of all. Thanks, Steve Wynn

The Amon G. Carter Stadium at TCU in Ft. Worth gets the "beauty treatment"!
