Some highly-visible eye candy on the Las Vegas Strip is no more.<\/p>\n

Without fanfare, the Vortex at Linq and Swarovski Starburst at Grand Bazaar Shops have been demolished.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the Vortex back when it still had its groove.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the Vortex never met its full potential.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Vortex deck at Linq has been a spectacularly underutilized space given its prime location and stunning view of the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, work has been done on the Vortex level of Linq, and the digital light display has been dismantled.<\/p>\n

We demand more shiny to take the place of the previous shiny.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Vortex deck will be the new home of an ESPN production studio<\/a>. The new studio is set to open in 2020.<\/p>\n

Over at Bally’s, the Swarovski store at Grand Bazaar Shops is currently being demolished and the much-touted Swarovski Starburst light show is already gone.<\/p>\n

Here’s what it looked like before it was taken down.<\/p>\n

\"Swarovski
Sorry if you missed it. Vegas moves fast.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Swarovski Starburst was 14 feet in diameter and made up of 911 custom-cut Swarovski crystal spheres.<\/p>\n

Here’s the Starburst light show prior to the demolition.<\/p>\n
