After a 34-year roll on the Las Vegas Strip, the Mirage Hotel and Casino has finally crapped out. The 3,000-room resort has closed its doors to make way for a three-year transition into the Hard Rock Las Vegas at 3400 South Las Vegas Boulevard, CNN.com Wire Service reported. “And that is what it was for so many years.”The Mirage hosted Las Vegas shows such as Siegfried & Roy’s white tigers and a Cirque du Soleil spectacle set to Beatles music. MGM Resorts International bought the Mirage from Wynn in 2000 and sold it in 2022 for $1.1 billion to Hard Rock International. It’s the second time Hard Rock will have a presence in Las Vegas, with the brand previously owning the now-Virgin Hotel off the Strip, according to CNN.
