Tuesday Evening Las Vegas Links: Wynn Parking Ramp Implosion
Published March 6th, 2007 in Las Vegas LinksEverybody loves a Las Vegas implosion, even if it is just a parking ramp. Sayonara, Wynn Las Vegas/Desert Inn parking garage.
Listener Roy Vegas (aka William Hung Guy) posted photos and a play-by-play account too.
I’ve blown things up, but never had the pleasure of imploding something. I’m adding that to my ‘to do’ list. It looks like lots of fun.
33 floors of fun next week.
Nothing is more annoying than the “whoo’ing and rock and roll hand sign guy” that is in every crowd for this type of thing.
Good to see that guy was represented, even for an event this small!
:)
Hey Tim,
I am staying at the Wynn, in the Tower Suites. The implosion felt like a train was running through the whole hotel!

Any thoughts of a listener meetup when in Vegas? Short notice but some travel plans might cross.
Hey Tim & Michele, if you’re not up for a “meet & greet” during your next trip to Vegas, how about stepping up to the “live” webcam outside the Imperial Palace and wave to us on the web. Pick a time and date and we’ll be watching.

I seem to recall Tim saying in a previous podcast that the Tropicana was going to discontinue the “free spins” outside the casino/hotel. Looks like Hooters Casino has a similar promotion, using their Owl Rewards Club Card. Maybe Tim will be able to get his free “Hooters schwag” after all. Now all he has to do is join another rewards club. (Hey, it’s worth it just for the card alone. Use it to impress your friends.)

My favorite free spin was the one that Bally’s had until a few years ago. I’d occasionally win a key chain or pen.
Once I asked the attendent when was the last million dollar payout. He laughed and said ‘never’
Has anyone ever heard of someone ever hitting a million dollar spin?
