I cropped the picture a little, to get the glair from the sun out so the pile of rubble shown is about half the size. Thousands of cubic feet of rubble from the surrounding buildings and casino had already been removed and the demo crew had the tower and the royal nev gutted. All that was left was concrete reinforced steel.

Anybody out there plead with the security guards to get a piece? I got yelled at for just stepping one foot inside the back gate - didn't even try to ask if I could snag a piece.

If you look in the far back of the photo you can see two white arches at the old pool deck, maybe they left Sushi King?
