The demolition of the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas continued two months after the first tower was taken down, a report by WISTV says.
The Monte Carol wing came down at 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 16, much like the previous demolition of the taller Monaco tower. The property closed in May 2015 after 60 years.
The 2,075-room property is now owned by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority after a $182.5 million purchase with $8.5 million in transaction costs. It is spending $42 million to level the building.
In its place, the report says, the agency plans to expand the Las Vegas Convention Center. The expansion is expected to be complete in January.
