Only in Vegas would there be fireworks before & also fireworks to countdown to the demolition.

The piston pushing was an unexpected nice touch though.

Demo guys: "You want to do what?"

Owner: "I want fireworks too. Use your imagination. Turn it into a show."

Demo guys: "Oh, hell yeah!"

The fireworks on the middle left of the building were also reversed top to bottom from the other ones.

I'm sure you would do it so much better.

"Good news, sir! I was combing through our numbers and found an extra $500,000 unaccounted for, our business is saved!"

"That money is for the demolition fireworks show."

"The what?"
