In a shocking turn of events, one of Las Vegas’ most iconic resorts, Mirage Las Vegas, is set to close its doors permanently to make way for the highly anticipated Hard Rock Cafe. The announcement, made by MGM Resorts International, comes as a surprise to many longtime patrons who have made Mirage their go-to destination for entertainment and nightlife.
Mirage Las Vegas, which opened its doors in 1989, quickly became known as one of the most luxurious and extravagant resorts on the famous Las Vegas Strip. From its stunning volcano show to its world-renowned Cirque du Soleil performances, Mirage has always been a staple in the city’s entertainment scene.
However, according to MGM Resorts International, the decision to close Mirage was made in order to make room for the new Hard Rock Cafe, which is expected to be a game-changer for the Las Vegas nightlife scene. Hard Rock Cafe, known for its rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia and live music shows, is set to bring a whole new level of entertainment and excitement to the city.
“We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Hard Rock Cafe to Las Vegas,” said Jim Murren, CEO of MGM Resorts International. “We believe that this new addition will not only attract a new wave of visitors to the city, but also provide a fresh and exciting experience for our loyal patrons.”
The closure of Mirage Las Vegas has left many employees and longtime patrons feeling nostalgic. “I have worked at Mirage for over 20 years and it’s sad to see it go,” said Maria Sanchez, a waitress at Mirage’s famed buffet. “But I am excited to see what the future holds for Las Vegas with the arrival of Hard Rock Cafe.”
The closure of Mirage Las Vegas is expected to take place in the coming months, with plans for the demolition and construction of Hard Rock Cafe to begin shortly after. Despite the bittersweet ending for Mirage, many are looking forward to the new era of entertainment that Hard Rock Cafe will bring to the city.
