Welcome to the Online Nevada Encyclopedia, a multimedia resource produced by Nevada Humanities that incorporates articles, images, and interactive media to explore the landscape, people, and events that have shaped the Silver State’s politics, economy, and culture.  The ONE is a work in progress, with new content, special features, and technologies in development.  Please check back often to see the evolution of the project.

Las Vegas Casino Implosions

Spectacle. Fanfare. Extravaganza. These aren't words commonly associated with imploding history, but not everyone implodes their history in quite the same way as the citizens of Las Vegas. Through a partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Clauss Construction, the ONE presents documentary films of eight of the eleven casino implosions that have taken place since 1993.

Visit our Implosion Exhibit Gallery to see the videos and read the accompanying text that provides a historic context for each event.
