After nearly three decades of providing glitz, glamour, and entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip, The Mirage Casino has officially announced its closing date. The iconic resort, which first opened its doors in 1989, will be closing on December 31, 2022, marking the end of an era in the world-famous entertainment capital.
The announcement of The Mirage’s closing date comes after months of speculation and rumors surrounding the fate of the legendary resort. The decision to close the casino was reportedly made by the parent company, MGM Resorts International, in an effort to focus on its more profitable properties in the city.
The Mirage has been a landmark on the Las Vegas Strip since its opening over 30 years ago, attracting millions of visitors with its signature volcano eruptions, tropical gardens, and iconic white tiger habitat. The resort has also been a popular destination for top-tier entertainment, featuring performances by some of the biggest names in music, comedy, and magic.
In a statement released by MGM Resorts International, the company expressed its gratitude to the loyal guests and employees who have made The Mirage a staple in the Las Vegas hospitality industry. The company also announced plans to honor all hotel reservations and event bookings scheduled after the closing date, with refunds being issued to guests who are unable to reschedule their stays.
While the closing of The Mirage marks the end of an era, MGM Resorts International has reassured guests that the company remains committed to the Las Vegas market and will continue to invest in its other properties in the city. The company’s portfolio includes such iconic resorts as the Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, and The MGM Grand, all of which will continue to offer world-class entertainment and hospitality experiences to visitors.
As the final countdown to The Mirage’s closing date begins, fans of the resort are sure to flock to the property one last time to soak in the sights and sounds of this Las Vegas institution. Whether it’s catching a Cirque du Soleil show, sipping cocktails at the iconic Dolphin Bar, or trying their luck at the casino tables, visitors will have one last chance to experience all that The Mirage has to offer before it closes its doors for good.
As the sun sets on The Mirage Casino, Las Vegas will bid farewell to a beloved institution that has helped shape the city’s reputation as the entertainment capital of the world. While the resort may be closing its doors, its spirit of fun, excitement, and luxury will live on in the hearts of those who have been lucky enough to experience its magic over the years.
