Gambling ends and the doors close Wednesday at the iconic tropical island-themed hotel-casino that opened in 1989 with a fire-spewing volcano outside, and Siegfried & Roy's lions and dolphins inside.
ByPeople are flocking to the Mirage in Las Vegas for one last chance to win big as the casino is guaranteeing its final $100,000 in cash winnings before closing for good.Gambling ends and the doors close Wednesday at the iconic tropical island-themed hotel-casino that opened in 1989 with a fire-spewing volcano outside, and Siegfried & Roy's lions and dolphins inside.
"Las Vegas always reinvents itself," said Michael Green, a University of Nevada, Las Vegas history professor whose father dealt blackjack for decades at casinos, including the long-ago-imploded Stardust and Showboat. "The Mirage is no longer state-of-the-art." There won't be a demolition spectacle like the now-shuttered Tropicana casino-hotel several blocks down the Strip. That 22-story property is slated to be dynamited sometime later this year, to be replaced before 2028 by a baseball stadium to serve as the home field of the relocated MLB Oakland A's.
It had glitzy shops, celebrity chef restaurants and theater-sized showrooms featuring headliners like Johnny Mathis, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. Wynn, now 82 and living in Florida, paid a $10 million fine to Nevada gambling regulators last year and cut ties with the industry he helped shape to end a yearslong legal fight stemming from media reports in 2018 that he sexually harassed or assaulted several women at his hotels. He has always denied the allegations against him.
