The Mirage casino, which ushered in an era of Las Vegas Strip megaresorts in the '90s, is closing

The July 17 closure will clear the way for major renovations and construction on the property, which is to reopen in 2027 as the Hard Rock Las Vegas, featuring a hotel tower in the shape of a guitar.

Damn...I know I'm getting old when I see the Mirage is closing. I fondly remember when it opened! Along with Caesar's Palace, the Mirage was always my favorites when I used to frequent LV back in the 90's. Although I never stayed at the Mirage (I always stayed at Ceasars) I would spend 90% of my time at those two properties...back and forth, all day long!! LOL

If it takes three years to renovate, they might as well just knock it down, and start over!

this is because Vegas dosent give you any thing one guy years ago lives there never puts his card in slot machines

i have same problem here in local LIVE casino not a fricking dime in free play or even anything else

but my voice got heard about lower crap limits i told them 90 % of players only have like max $500 to play with and a $25 min table you can get wiped out in 1 hour and $50 min and $100 min i seen empty on fri sat nights

i know i almost got wiped out $25 min starting with $500 bank was down $300 and i made 4 straight passes plus place bets to win it all back plus $200 boom exit door fast from that very dark rivers casino

BUT up at Parx casino major comps and up to $25 free play

i filed complaint with casino control commison that they refused to give me rating after 6 hours in play you need to earn 1000 points to stay at yor levl or get reduced to lower level

then funny thing next shift 4 hours play got me my points and food comp $25

so they got wraned or whatever by CC C to treat me fair

found out they dont like my way of playing saying i hedge my bets one JO pit boss we have guys do that here ll the time i said BS

no body does that i got proof he said where nope not telling you pal

and the electronic craps table they say your not allowed to set the dice $5 min

i just bet dont pass and place bet the buy option they cant stop you i was whooping it up one night started with $150 2 hours later cashed out $750

They will probably just end up doing that.

Well considering you make 100's of millions of dollars a year with all your winning Craps systems, they ain't going to give you shit.

After the mirage opened, it was the only hotel we’d stay at on the strip. Couldn’t beat the location and it was a nice joint with lots of options for dining.
