BOOM!

A mere five seconds after a flurry of fireworks ended early Tuesday morning, the Las Vegas Preservation Society did what it does best - pulverizing yet another legendary landmark.

At 2:37 a.m., the 65-year-old New Frontier met its final resting place in its own parking lot at 3120 Las Vegas Boulevard South.

"It's going to be explosive," quipped Brett "Gank" Jungblut, a professional card player, who gathered with more than 20 of his friends to tailgate on the roof of the Wynn's parking garage.

"Tequila and beer is exactly what a night like this calls for," continued a festive Jungblut, who reminisced about personal memories of the Frontier's country-western bar known for its bikini bull riding.

But not everyone in the crowd of a couple thousand revelers was quite as ecstatic to see the second-oldest property on the Las Vegas Strip go down.
