Demolition by Fireworks

Hotel Destruction as Entertainment?

Instead of July 4 fireworks, we're showing you one of the best ways to celebrate in style: hotel trashing.

Staged hotel trashing has been offered at accommodations around the world, including luxurious prestigious ones. It's an interested publicity lure, that's for sure, especially the hotels that invite guests to take part in the action.

Remember when the New Frontier hotel and casino in Las Vegas was demolished by fireworks? Whether you do or don't, the Frontier implosion video is worth taking a look at, so you can check it out above.

The frontier was destroyed last year, but if you're planning the ultimate July 4th fireworks party, and you own a hotel.. well, this certainly would be a lot of fun.

Okay, maybe we're pushing the limts, but July 4th makes everyone so festive, so we wanted to share this explosive idea.

The two hotels below actually let guests take part in the pre-redesign demolition process.
