Video: Las Vegas' iconic Riviera Hotel is imploded

Two iconic structures on the Las Vegas Strip have been reduced to rubble in a controlled implosion.

The Riviera Hotel and Casino closed last year after 60 years of hosting celebrities like Liberace and Dean Martin.

It was also the backdrop for many movies, including the Rat Pack, the original Ocean's 11 and Diamonds Are Forever.

Watch the video to see the implosion.
