VIDEO: Elevator shaft remains standing after Vegas hotel demolition

Posted

Las Vegas, NV—All things come down, but do they? Apparently elevator shafts don’t.

Early morning February 10, crews began the demolition of the Clarion Hotel & Casino—property formerly owned by actress Debbie Reynolds—in Las Vegas with over two tons of explosives that were detonated.

But despite all of their hard work and ammunition, the 12-story elevator shaft remained standing.

The six-acre property was bought by developer Lorenzo Doumani who plans on turning it into a mixed-use resort.
