After 34 years of entertaining guests with its world-famous volcano show, Siegfried and Roy’s white tigers, and luxurious accommodations, The Mirage in Las Vegas has announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
Opened in 1989 by developer Steve Wynn, The Mirage quickly became a must-see destination on the Las Vegas Strip. The resort’s iconic volcano, which erupts nightly to the delight of onlookers, has become a symbol of the city’s over-the-top extravagance.
The Mirage’s 3,044 rooms and suites have hosted countless celebrities, high rollers, and tourists looking for a taste of Vegas luxury. The resort also features a 90,000 square foot casino, multiple restaurants, a spa, and a one-of-a-kind dolphin habitat.
In addition to its amenities, The Mirage is known for its legendary entertainment offerings. Siegfried and Roy, the famed illusionists who performed at the resort for over a decade, drew audiences from around the world with their mesmerizing magic tricks and beloved white tigers.
Despite its storied history and loyal fan base, The Mirage has struggled in recent years to compete with newer, flashier resorts on the Strip. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry has only exacerbated the resort’s financial difficulties, leading to the decision to permanently close.
The closure of The Mirage marks the end of an era for Las Vegas. Many locals and visitors alike mourn the loss of this iconic resort, which has come to represent the glitz and glamour of Sin City.
As The Mirage prepares to shut its doors for the last time, fans are reminiscing about their favorite memories at the resort, from winning big at the slots to catching a once-in-a-lifetime show by Siegfried and Roy.
While the future of the iconic volcano and dolphin habitat remains uncertain, one thing is for sure: The Mirage will always hold a special place in the hearts of those who experienced its magic over the last three decades.
