Shortly before 3 am on February 10, 2015 the Clarion Hotel & Casino was imploded.  The implosion did not go as expected, the main core of the elevator shaft dropped about 1 story but remained standing. The Clarion closed it doors September 1, 2014.

Opened in 1970, the property has had many owners and several name changes over the years including the Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino, Greek Isles, Paddlewheel, Royal Americana and Royal Inn.
