If you want to be in town for the next big hotel implosion you should book your tickets now.

The Frontier will be brought down by controlled demolition at 2:30am on Tuesday, November 13, 2007. There is no word as to whether the implosion will be a spectacle sized event with fireworks and the attendant hoopla or a relatively low-key affair (if blowing up a building can be low-key), but the time of morning seems to suggest that they are wanting to keep the gawking crowds as light as possible.

The Frontier opened in October 1942, the second major resort on The Strip. It was purchased earlier this year by Elad Properties for a record-breaking $1.2 billion, primarily for the land value. The company intends to build a Las Vegas version of the Plaza Hotel, the famed New York landmark that Elad also owns. It will feature more than 3,500 rooms, a casino, super luxury residential units, restaurants, entertainment, and more. The whole thing will cost $5 billion and has a planned opening sometime in 2011.
