Bettie: New Frontier Implosion

Click the link below for a short video of this morning's implosion of the New Frontier. It goes down pretty fast, but of course it wasn't a big building to begin with.

New Frontier Implosion

Remember back in the early 90s when the Frontier would give you a silver token for each BJ you received (with a minimum bet of $5) and, I believe, 20 of them would get you a comped room. That was back when there were picketers outside. Gone now. That makes the Flamingo the oldest resort on the strip.

Nice promo. We once won a weekend in a jacuzzi suite at a nice little boat casino when we won a hand of blackjack holding a King and Queen of hearts during a Valentine's day promo.

I know that Casino Royale did this in the latter 90's, like 96-97. The Elardi family owned both the Casino Royale and Frontier. Elardi sold Frontier around 98, for a heckuva lot less than it was resold for.
Casino Royale had pickets for a while, too, so maybe you're confusing the two.
I really don't know if Frontier did or not. I DO know that its sister casino Casino Royale did.

Yes, the Frontier had the free rooms for 20 tokens (about the size of silver dollars) offer back in 1992-3. They discontinued the program about '94 and gave a couple of months or so for players to use up their accumulated tokens.
