      @@CheeseMiser asbestos inspection for the Tropicana, which was conducted by RiskNomics for the Bally’s Corporation. The inspection indicates asbestos in duct seam sealant, fittings on fiberglass insulation throughout the basement, casino and mezzanine levels and many other areas. But, according to you they removed each and every molecule of asbestos. You just go on in your LA LA dream state.

      @@christinejohnson2839Depends what asbestos it was if it was Cat A : Amosite (White) or Crocidolite (Blue) then that would have to be removed prior to demolition by law and usually that is the first phase of the demolition process.
      You will find those two types are in pipe lagging,boilers,columns and girders (spray coating) or AIB (insulation board)
      If it is Chrysotile (Cat B) it does not pose a great a risk at it is bonded with cement or other materials.
      Note There is no such thing as asbestos dust the dust is from the brick, concrete and cement debris not the material itself
      Asbestos is a mineral and you cannot physically see it with the human eye.
      Asbestos removal has been my profession for 21 years I know every aspect of it from the most fibrous to the less harmful so it does depend on the air clearance before further demolition work can begin.

      I believe the reason was because the engineers failed to factor in all the weight of the furniture, interior designs, and hotel guests. Hence the structure was unstable and had to be torn down completely. They spent a ton of extra money trying to keep this quiet.

    Such a loss. Had many great times at the Tropicana. The destruction should have been a solemn and respectful event. Don't forget, familiarity breeds contempt. When the newness of the stadium wears off and the A's continue to suck, many people might regret this move.
