The momentous day has arrived. The iconic, venerable Mirage Hotel & Casino, a long-standing pillar of the Las Vegas Strip, will bid its final adieu today at 11 a.m. after a poignant farewell ceremony. This event marks the conclusion of an era, as the final pages of the Mirage’s storied legacy are turned.

Booking Roulette: Reservations Beyond July 14 Canceled
As The Mirage begins its grand exit, hotel guests with reservations beyond July 14 will find their bookings automatically canceled and refunded. Those who booked via third-party platforms or OTAs should reach out directly to their respective operators for refunds or rebooking options. The same cancellation and refund policies apply to tickets for shows slated beyond July 14.
New Strings, New Show: Introducing the Guitar Hotel
The electrifying new property, anticipated with bated breath since its announcement in May 2024, will be characterized by a towering hotel shaped like a striking 700-foot guitar. This transformation, commencing as soon as the Mirage closes its doors, will not only change the skyline but also the job market—doubling the current number of job openings at the Mirage and generating over 2,500 construction jobs.
Hard Rock remains committed to its people, offering approximately $80 million in severance packages to employees who stay until the final encore. The rebranding efforts have been in full swing since Hard Rock International acquired the Mirage from MGM in 2022 for a whopping $1.07 billion.
So, as we bid a heartfelt farewell to the Mirage, we eagerly anticipate the next thrilling act in Las Vegas’ never-ending show. Place your bets on the new, exhilarating future of this legendary Strip icon—where the classic and the contemporary will collide in a symphony of lights, music, and endless gaming excitement.
