The Eastside Cannery Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas was demolished on Thursday after remaining closed since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The demolition drew crowds of onlookers, including some who traveled from out of state, with the Longhorn Casino hosting a viewing party for guests. Attendees expressed a mix of nostalgia and excitement at witnessing the implosion, with some having personal connections to the casino or the construction industry.
