Las Vegas casino-hotel demolition fails

Another day in Vegas, and another Hotel demolition. The Clarion is 13th structure to be destroyed to make way for new development. However, this time despite an explosive punch of more than two tonnes it quickly became clear that the job was not complete.

Another day in Vegas, and another Hotel demolition. The Clarion was the 13th structure to be destroyed to make way for new development in Sin City since 1993. However, this time despite an explosive punch of more than two tonnes it quickly became clear that the job was not complete.

An elevator shaft withstood the blast early on Tuesday. The shaft dropped about four stories and defiantly stayed upright.
