Elad Properties, after witnessing the impact of a Grucci performance for the 100th Anniversary of the NYC Plaza Hotel, requested Fireworks by Grucci to deliver the same impact for the Frontier implosion.

Phil Grucci, Designer and Executive Producer states, "We are honored to be commissioned by Elad Properties to design and deliver the excitement of this historic event. We are already envisioning the many unique pyrotechnic features to accent the highly anticipated $5 Billion Plaza Hotel Grand opening coming in 2011."

Working closely with the famed Loizeaux Family of Controlled Demolition (CDI), Fireworks by Grucci installed and fired in excess of 3000 circuits inside the historic Frontier Hotel structure to illuminate the excitement of the implosion of the tower. 

Six minutes of fireworks and special effects were fired from the rooftop, pool area and front facade of the tower to produce the spectacular prelude; beginning with a Pyrotechnic Fuse effect; followed by the Grucci Implosion trademark, the Pyro Digit Countdown; and ending with the newest addition to the Grucci Library, the Pyro Plunger effect.

All effects fired perfectly, leading to
a precise CDI implosion sequence resulting in a compact pile of Frontier rubble.

Job well done by all!

Las Vegas KLAS-TV covered the event and captured the implosion with excellent video and still photos. To view, go to Las Vegas KLAS-TV.
