Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas closing in July. Here's what's next.
After more than three decades of business, Las Vegas' famed Mirage Hotel and Casino is shuttering its doors.
The Las Vegas Strip business announced the closure Wednesday night according to a post on social media, noting the Nevada property will soon "transform."
"We look forward to the beginning of an exciting journey into a new era as Hard Rock Las Vegas will ignite the Strip with entertainment, innovation and world-class hospitality,” the Mirage, which opened 34 years ago, posted on Facebook.
The Mirage will be ceasing operations on July 17, the post said.
'A new era'
The hotel is known for its man-made Mirage Volcano spewing fire and water since the hotel’s 1989 opening.
It is also home to a Cirque du Soleil show with Beatles music as well as the Siegfried and Roy’s white tigers show.
Hard Rock Las Vegas coming soon
The business announced the resort will reopen in 2027 as Hard Rock Las Vegas.
"We look forward to the beginning of an exciting journey into a new era as Hard Rock Las Vegas will ignite the Strip with entertainment, innovation, and world-class hospitality," the casino's Facebook post reads.
Hard Rock will pay nearly $80 million in severance packages for union and non-union employees who continue to work at the property until it closes, the post reads.
