LAS VEGAS – In a stunning move, the iconic Mirage Hotel and Casino announced today that it will be giving away a whopping $1.6 million in prizes before shutting its doors for good. The announcement comes as a surprise to many in the gaming industry, as the Mirage has long been a staple on the Las Vegas strip.
The decision to close the Mirage comes as part of a larger restructuring effort by its parent company, MGM Resorts International. The company cited declining revenues and changing consumer preferences as factors in the decision to shutter the beloved resort.
But before its doors are closed for the final time, the Mirage is planning on going out with a bang. The $1.6 million giveaway will include cash prizes, luxury vacations, and even a few high-end cars. The resort is hoping that the massive giveaway will help drive foot traffic in its final days and give loyal customers a chance to win big before saying goodbye.
“We wanted to do something special for our loyal guests before we close our doors for good,” said Mirage CEO, John Smith. “The Mirage has been an iconic part of the Las Vegas strip for decades, and we want to give back to the community that has supported us for so long.”
The giveaway will kick off next week and run until the Mirage officially closes its doors on December 31st. Guests will have the chance to win prizes through various promotions and contests throughout the resort, including at the casino, restaurants, and even the pool.
Fans of the Mirage have been flooding social media with messages of sadness and nostalgia since the announcement was made. Many have shared memories of their time at the resort, from celebrating anniversaries to attending concerts and shows.
“It’s truly the end of an era,” said longtime Mirage guest, Sarah Johnson. “I’ve been coming to this hotel for years and have so many fond memories. It’s sad to see it go, but I’m excited for the chance to win some amazing prizes before it’s gone.”
As the Mirage prepares to say goodbye to Las Vegas, the resort is hoping that its $1.6 million giveaway will provide a fitting send-off for a beloved institution. Guests are encouraged to visit the resort in its final days for a chance to win big and say farewell to a Las Vegas legend.
