In a shocking turn of events, the iconic Mirage Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip is set to close its doors for good to make way for the highly anticipated Hard Rock Hotel. The closure date has been officially announced for January 11, 2022, marking the end of an era for one of the most famous resorts in Sin City.
The Mirage has been a staple of the Las Vegas Strip since it first opened its doors in 1989. Known for its tropical-themed decor, live volcano show, and iconic white tigers, the Mirage has been a beloved destination for tourists and locals alike for over three decades. However, in recent years, the hotel has faced stiff competition from newer, more modern resorts on the Strip.
The decision to close the Mirage and rebrand it as the Hard Rock Hotel comes as no surprise to many in the industry. The Hard Rock brand is synonymous with rock ‘n’ roll, luxury, and a vibrant party atmosphere – all of which are sure to appeal to a younger demographic of visitors to Las Vegas. The new Hard Rock Hotel is expected to feature a state-of-the-art casino, world-class restaurants, multiple bars and nightclubs, and a lineup of live music and entertainment that is sure to rival any other resort on the Strip.
Despite the excitement surrounding the new Hard Rock Hotel, the closure of the Mirage will undoubtedly be bittersweet for many. The resort has played host to countless memorable moments over the years, from legendary performances by the likes of Siegfried and Roy and Cirque du Soleil to high-stakes poker tournaments and extravagant pool parties. As the final days of the Mirage draw near, many loyal guests are sure to flock to the resort one last time to bid farewell to a Las Vegas institution.
In a statement, MGM Resorts International, the parent company of the Mirage, expressed gratitude to their loyal customers, employees, and partners for their support over the years. They also announced plans to offer special promotions and events leading up to the closure date in January as a way to thank the community for their patronage.
As the countdown to the closure of the Mirage begins, Las Vegas will undoubtedly be abuzz with speculation and anticipation for what the future holds for the newly rebranded Hard Rock Hotel. With its bold, rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic and promise of an unforgettable guest experience, the new resort is sure to capture the hearts of visitors from around the world and continue the legacy of excitement and entertainment that has made Las Vegas the entertainment capital of the world.
