THE MIRAGE CLOSING

THE END OF AN ERA AS THE MIRAGE CLOSES

             The iconic Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is closing its doors on July 17, 2024.  After that, it will undergo extensive construction and reopen in 2027 as the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas

            The Mirage has been an iconic part of the Las Vegas Strip for 34 years, and its closure marks the end of an era. The Mirage was a one of kind at inception, dazzling and commanding. The largest hotel ever built at that point in history, anywhere in the world.
            Wynn’s success with the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas was a precursor for what was about to happen.
            Steve Wynn's Mirage went after a different demographic, a different customer, one willing to spend money. The Mirage was a Resort Hotel with a Casino attached, "NOT a Casino with a Hotel attached."
            Within 10 years of the Mirage’s opening, Strip Casinos were making more money from non-gaming than gaming. That business model is still driving today’s Las Vegas.
            Bravo, Mirage, you put a big smile on the face of Las Vegas.
