The Aladdin Hotel & Casino comes tumbling down as it is imploded, Monday night, April 27, 1998, in Las Vegas. The Aladdin, built in 1966, was imploded to make way for the $1.3 billion Aladdin Project, which will be completed in the spring of 2000. Cleanup began at dawn Tuesday after the hotel was reduced to a 40-foot pile of rubble. (AP Photo/Lennox McLendon)
