The destruction of the Monte Carlo wing comes two months after the taller Monaco tower was leveled the same way.
The 2,075-room property closed in May 2015 after 60 years hosting headliners from Liberace to Dean Martin.
The late Liberace cut the opening ribbon, and became the hotels first resident performer.
