However, some neighbors are attempting to stop the big show, reportedly the first East Coast casino implosion ever, on the grounds it will pollute the air with asbestos and other toxins. A delay would be bad news for Pinnacle because it could push back the casino's opening, which would pit it directly against MGM Mirage's even bigger project, which will span 77 acres in AC's marina district and is slated to open in 2012. Rumors of a Pinnacle buyout first surfaced in 2006 after Columbia Sussex Corp. won a bidding war with Pinnacle for Aztar Corp., parent of the Tropicana. — Matthew Wurtzel

Rather
than quashing buyout rumors, Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. executives are
promoting tonight's implosion of the Atlantic City Sands, which will make way
for an 18-acre casino resort on the New Jersey city's famed boardwalk set to
open in 2011. Pinnacle bought the bankrupt casino in November 2006.
