After nearly three decades of providing entertainment and excitement on the Las Vegas Strip, The Mirage Casino will be closing its doors for good this summer. The iconic hotel and casino, known for its tropical theme and world-renowned volcano show, will be making room for a new and exciting addition – a guitar-shaped hotel.
The announcement came as a shock to many in the industry, as The Mirage has long been a staple in the Las Vegas tourism scene. However, the decision to close the casino was made in order to make way for a new, state-of-the-art resort that is sure to draw in crowds from around the world.
The new hotel, designed in the shape of a guitar, will be a part of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino chain, known for its rock ‘n’ roll theme and luxurious accommodations. The 1,500-room hotel is set to feature a variety of amenities, including a rooftop pool, multiple restaurants and bars, a spa, and of course, a casino.
“We are thrilled to bring the Hard Rock experience to Las Vegas in such a unique and exciting way,” said the CEO of Hard Rock International. “The guitar-shaped hotel will be a symbol of our commitment to providing guests with a one-of-a-kind experience that they will never forget.”
The Mirage Casino, which first opened its doors in 1989, has been a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Its 3,000-room hotel, 100,000 square-foot casino, and famous Mirage volcano show have made it a must-see attraction on the Strip. However, with changing tastes and preferences among travelers, the decision was made to close The Mirage in favor of a more modern and innovative concept.
While the closure of The Mirage may be bittersweet for many, the promise of a guitar-shaped hotel is sure to generate buzz and excitement throughout the city. The new resort is expected to open its doors in the summer of 2022, and will undoubtedly become a new landmark on the Las Vegas Strip.
As the final days of The Mirage Casino approach, many are reflecting on the memories and experiences they have had at the iconic resort. From celebrity performances and world-class dining to unforgettable nights at the casino, The Mirage has left an indelible mark on Las Vegas history. And while its closure may signal the end of an era, the arrival of the guitar-shaped hotel represents a new chapter in the city’s storied entertainment scene.
