    Just a shame because the amount of free attractions in front of the resorts are all dwindling down. It was honestly magical to walk the strip as a kid in the 90's, the treasure island show with the moving ship, the volcano, and others. You can't even walk on the fake Brooklyn bridge anymore they put up shops and fast food in it.

    I was there in 1989 the day they erupted the volcano for the first time, I was 10 years old. That was the beginning of the “family” era for Vegas. Excalibur, The Luxor, The MGM with their old theme park, the addition of The Adventure Dome at Circus Circus. Sad to see the Mirage go but I guess that’s Vegas.

      Those were magical times. Feels like the Vegas Gold Age was from Mirage opened to when Aria opened. Now everything they build seems the same - equivalent of a nice Hilton or Marriott you could find in any city with a casino added on. Nothing new unique and awesome is built anymore. The Golden Age of Vegas is OVER.

The Guitar Tower just sounds like it will be another overpriced hotel tower with some nice pools and some lights that go off. Mirage was an EXPERIENCE. Hard Rock will just be the restaurant turned into a hotel.

The Mirage, the Flamingo, and the Tropicana had the best pool and gardens on the strip in my opinion. Now only the flamingo remains. The Mirage and the lagoon and volcano were the most beautiful part of the strip. The Bellagio is the only one left with a nice front area and landscaping.

    The classic rock theme isn't going to be better there than it was at the old location. It might be cool, and I am a longtime music fan and musician, but I preferred the Mirage's Tropical/Polynesian theme to Hard Rock. I felt like it had too much rock kitch and items that weren't rock, like Katy Perry's dress. It's too much like a museum.

Why did they have to pick the mirage to do this project? The mirage has been there for 34 years. When they're going to add a guitar tower to it.. is this guitar they are building going to have a cool show to it kinda look just like the volcano at the mirage was a cool show for all the tourists to see every time they would pass by? I say that nobody goes to it! Nobody spends their money at this hard Rock casino And let it bite them in their ass for demolishing more of our iconic casinos/ hotels that made Las Vegas originally! Las Vegas isn't even Las Vegas anymore, and Shame on these new owners! Nobody in Vegas wants that casino replacing the mirage obviously! It's going to be a tribal property.the new owners are native American, For all their tribes to go too.
