It's impossible to understate how revolutionary and groundbreaking the Mirage was in the first few years it was open. A lot the amenities we take for granted now as standard for Vegas hotels and resorts, they started the trend.
I spent big chunks of my summer growing up at this hotel (my mom liked to gamble A LOT) and it was pure magic in the early 90s. The resort was so well maintained and the vibe was terrific. The pool was my favorite hotel pool of any I have ever been to. I wish I could travel back in time and relive those afternoons at the pool drinking virgin pina coladas or waking up early and sitting at the bar in the coffee shop ordering a grown up breakfast all by myself. It was honestly the best. RIP Mirage.
So cool that this is actually available to view on UA-cam. I visited the Mirage numerous times from 1992 - 2000. This brings me right back to the moving walkway next to the white tiger habitat where the audio from this video played overhead. I was sad to hear that this once icon of a resort is now a mirage. 🙁

Like what, a hair dryer?
Yes.. from 1990-1997 The Mirage was the Best hotel on the strip. The Desert Inn and Ceasars Palace were second and third..
I was an opening day employee and spent 13 wonderful years there. It was the best job ever at the most glorious time ever.
I bet, what a fun experience you must have had.

Thank you for posting this! Wonderful childhood memories at this amazing resort! So sad it's going away! I guess it was just a mirage, after all! ❤😢

Very cool with Steve Wynn narration
Bless your heart for posting this. What a trip down memory lane.
Thanks for uploading this, man I wish I was old enough to visit vegas in the 90s during the highlight times.
Thank you for uploading this - it's interesting insight into Las Vegas history, especially now as the story of The Mirage is coming to an end.
The Strip was at its peak in the 90's.
Such a beautiful hotel. Leave it to the Hard Rock Hotel owners to destroy everything great about this property.
They haven’t done anything yet. I got a feeling it’s not gonna happen if a recession hits.

GOOD DAYS OF LAS VEGAS ...
It's amazing to think about the steps he went to, to make a person feel 10 stories above their station. "Sin City" today, really has become a sin.
Thank you for posting this
"The good old days"
Sounds like Wynn himself is narrating?
Yes it is.
4:26 "its there in your room... somewhere" lol that inspires confidence
I know I left it SOMEWHERE in here, damnit
Rip mirage
Oh wow. Do you happen to have the Circus Circus video??
Nope
Man Vegas is a ripoff now compared to what they use to offer. This literally had every form of entertainment in the most over the top way.
5:22 the mirage cursive logo is also Steve Wynn’s handwriting, the same used for the Wynn and Encore logos.
