It has been almost two weeks since George, the injured duck residing at The Mirage Hotel and Casino, made headlines around the world for his inability to fly when the casino closed its doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The beloved duck, who has become a staple at the resort’s iconic outdoor habitat, has captured the hearts of visitors and staff alike with his charming personality and friendly demeanor.
But as the weeks have passed and The Mirage remains closed, concerns have been raised about George’s well-being and future. The staff at the resort have been diligently caring for George during this time, ensuring that he has plenty of food, water, and companionship. However, the question remains: what will happen to George when The Mirage reopens and the bustle of the casino floor returns?
According to experts, George’s inability to fly is likely due to a previous injury to his wing, which has left him unable to take to the skies like other ducks. While he is still able to swim and walk around the habitat, the prospect of reintegrating him into the wild may not be feasible. As such, the staff at The Mirage are actively exploring options for George’s long-term care, whether that be finding him a permanent home at the resort or partnering with a local wildlife sanctuary to ensure that he is well cared for.
In the meantime, George continues to be a bright spot during these uncertain times, bringing joy and comfort to all who visit him at The Mirage. As the world eagerly awaits the reopening of casinos and resorts, one thing is certain: George will always have a special place in the hearts of those who have had the pleasure of meeting him. And no matter what the future holds, one thing is for certain: George will always have a home at The Mirage.
