The last tower of the iconic Riviera Hotel and Casino came tumbling down along the Las Vegas Strip early Tuesday to make way for a convention center expansion. It also was a backdrop for movies including the Rat Pack original "Ocean's 11" in 1960. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority now owns the property and plans to use it for an expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center. But a small crowd began gathering on Las Vegas Boulevard to witness the implosion, many of them snapping photos before blasts caused the building to collapse into a pile of rubble. Once known as a classic mob joint, "The Riv" was used in three of the most famous movies ever filmed in Las Vegas, including "Ocean's 11," the 1971 James Bond film "Diamonds Are Forever" and 1995's "Casino."
