Las Vegas plays host early Tuesday morning to another infrequent casino building implosion. The demolition of the New Frontier Hotel-Casino is in the experienced hands of the Loizeaux family who have been in the business of blowing things up since the late 1940s. The N.Y. Times takes a look at the family that plans destruction together as Controlled Demolition, Inc. They travel the country and the globe imploding and exploding to make way for the new.
