After nearly 30 years of entertaining guests on the iconic Las Vegas Strip, the Mirage hotel-casino announced that it will be closing its doors this summer. The news came as a shock to many, as the Mirage has been a staple of the Las Vegas entertainment scene since it first opened in 1989.
The decision to close the Mirage was made by its parent company, MGM Resorts International, as part of a larger effort to revitalize its properties and adapt to changing market conditions. The closure will affect approximately 1,000 employees who work at the resort, though MGM Resorts has stated that it will work to find them positions at other properties within the company.
The Mirage is perhaps best known for its iconic volcano attraction, which erupts nightly in a stunning display of fire and water. The resort also boasts a 90-foot-tall aquarium, a Dolphin Habitat, and a Secret Garden filled with exotic animals. In addition, the Mirage is home to some of the Strip’s most popular shows, including Cirque du Soleil’s “Love” and Terry Fator’s comedy show.
The closure of the Mirage marks the end of an era for Las Vegas, as the resort has long been a symbol of the city’s glitz and glamour. Many residents and visitors alike have fond memories of staying at the Mirage and enjoying its world-class amenities and entertainment offerings.
While the closure of the Mirage is undeniably sad news for Las Vegas, many are hopeful that MGM Resorts will use this opportunity to reinvigorate the property and bring new life to the Strip. The company has not yet announced what will replace the Mirage, but rumors have been swirling about potential new developments in the works.
In the meantime, guests are encouraged to visit the Mirage before it closes its doors for the final time this summer. Whether you’re looking to catch a show, try your luck at the casino, or simply take in the sights and sounds of the Strip, the Mirage is sure to offer a memorable experience for all who visit.
