The Tropicana’s hotel towers are set to be imploded in early October to ready a portion of the site for the Oakland Athletics’ planned Las Vegas ballpark.

Tropicana Las Vegas owner Bally’s Corp. and the A’s will host an Oct. 8 celebratory event that will include a drone and fireworks show from Fireworks by Grucci, according to Bally’s Corp. The event will lead to the implosion of the Tropicana, scheduled to occur at about 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 9.

Clark County still needs to approve a permit application from Bally’s for the implosion. Permit approval can occur up to one week before the planned destruction.
