    Goodbye, Eastside Cannery: Boulder Highway casino imploded - The Sun Daily

    The Eastside Cannery went quietly into the Las Vegas night. At 2 a.m. Thursday, with little fanfare, a wave of explosives rippled through the floors of the building’s remaining structure before it collapsed — no fireworks, no drone light show, none of the spectacle that has become synonymous with Las Vegas casino implosions over the years. A dust cloud swallowed the rubble for nearly a minute, and just like that, another piece of the valley was gone.
