The tower at the Moulin Rouge in Las Vegas has stood as a West Side landmark for 55 years. After two fires, the main bulk of the property was razed, but the tower and facade have stood the test of time. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The tower that the city deemed unstable and that "could not stand on it's own and must come down" took over 5 hours, a broken cable, and relentless hacking to bring down.
