GOODBYE MIRAGE: EXAMINING THE IMMEASURABLE IMPACT OF A LAS VEGAS ICON
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The Mirage closed Wednesday morning with a farewell ceremony after a 34-year era on the Las Vegas Strip.
The final farewell event for the iconic property happened at 9 a.m. with the doors officially closing at 11 a.m.
Once the doors close, the process will start to renovate the property into a Hard Rock International resort. The company purchased the Mirage from MGM Resorts International in 2023 for $1.08 billion. Plans include building a guitar-shaped hotel where the current volcano attraction is right now.
When I turned 21 years old, I won over $35,000 from this hotel…. They got me so drunk I only left with $16,800 and a full weekend comp!
