As Las Vegas anxiously waits for the Tropicana casino-hotel to come down, room rates for properties around the demolition site are going up.

The remainder of the Tropicana Las Vegas is tentatively scheduled to be imploded at 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 9, pending permit approval from Clark County. Before the controlled demolition, a fireworks and drone show will take place on Oct. 8, according to Bally’s Corp., operator of the fated Rat Pack-era casino.

Lovers of Las Vegas and casino history pounced on the opportunity to witness the first Sin City implosion in eight years.
