The planned implosion of what remains of the Tropicana casino-hotel is a must-watch event in Las Vegas for locals and tourists alike.

The controlled demolition of the two former hotel towers of the Tropicana Las Vegas is scheduled for 2:30 a.m. Wednesday and will last approximately 22 seconds. It will be preceded by a fireworks and drone show.

But, with nearby hotel rooms all but sold out or too expensive for the average visitor, catching a glimpse of the spectacle may prove to be tougher than expected.
