The Mirage Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas strip has been at the center of a lot of attention lately since it has been sold to Hard Rock. The volcano is going to be replaced with a guitar-shaped building that will have 800 to 1,000 rooms. There will be a lot of construction to renovate the rooms, the casino floor and the business and meeting spaces. The BEATLES LOVE Show will remain for the time being. On December 19, 2022 the property will officially transition to being owned by Hard Rock. The property will receive an update in several areas, but time will tell how those developments unfold.

Can you show some bars that have good drink prices that is in the non touristy part. Also in the tourist part as well.
Last trip i wanted to down there, but I was staying at Vdara, and 2 times I tries F1 had the streets all blocked.
They can upgrade the property and just build the Godforsaken guitar in another location.
The cool thing about this video is let's say 10 years from now when the Mirage is long gone & the Hard Rock is up & running, people will be able to watch this video & know what the Mirage was like. Well done Jacob!
so its just changing not a big deal ir happens some cos buy them out as in atlantic city hard rock was taj mahal and some were just broken down and rebuilt ocean xasino
When Oyo Hotels bought Hooters Casino very little changed. It still looks exactly the same inside. Probably Mirage will be same (just a different name)
.
@@electrictroy2010 I heard the Hard Rock is going to tear down the Mirage fountain and built a GIANT guitar in its place. OR, I also heard the hotel will be torn down and a guitar-shaped hotel will replace it. Hope not!
The Mirage will be Hard Rock
The Mirage will be missed dearly. It’s an icon really. I hope the hard rock lives up to whatever they are trying to accomplish bc they have some big shoes to fill.
We’ve stayed at the Mirage for 22 years. Sad to see it go. Loved the ambiance. The Secret Garden was a favorite..hopefully the animals will be taken care of..Siegfried and Roy such a legacy. After Roy was hurt, we used to see Siegfried there all the time. What a lovely man…rest in peace Sigfried, Roy and the Mirage.
22 years- I bet that was some bill.
@@mrfrisky6501 😂😂😂 oh my gosh
@@mrfrisky6501 - No, he was comped. $1k/hand Baccarat whale.
The Hard Rock was off the strip in the 1990"s. It is not new to Vegas. It's casinos and this casino will never compare to the Mirage
When Siegfried and Roy died the Mirage lost its popularity
I was in the Secret Garden with my family and was talking to one of the animal trainers and asked if Siegfried ever came through. She said 'He's right there.' Lo and behold Siegfried was just walking around looking at his cats. Got pictures taken with him. Very nice man.
Wow! What a great memory for you!
How cool!
They both were actually incredible men. Had a friend who lived behind them when I was kid and my favorite thing to do was play peek a boo with the cats.
Animals are likely to trust those with gentle souls. May he rest.
I visit Vegas multiple times a year and no matter what new resorts keep popping up, the visual of The Mirage and that volcano is ALWAYS the first thing that enters my mind. Although I know that such is the life of a Vegas resort, I am incredibly sad to be losing this one.
I only been there once and thats where I stayed. Really liked it there
Same here. & Circus Circus (have no idea why). ;)
@@rogers6168 talking about circus circus, that is the one that needs to be upgraded or demolished and not the volcano.
jake comes across well he could be offered millions as a network tv tv reporter or commercials or a sports analyst
Great information and video, thank you for sharing 💯
The last time I stayed at the Mirage I was hanging out with a good friend of mine (He passed away in 2021). It was his first time in Vegas and we had a great time. Thanks Mirage for the wonderful memories.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

No, it will be a Hard Rock
I remember being blown away by the volcano and the white tiger display back in the day. The Mirage took Vegas to the next level.
Yea it did
It's so sad to see the iconic Mirage disappear from the Las Vegas strip.

As an 80s kid, I have fond memories of my parents taking me to Vegas and seeing the Mirage around when it was still brand new. R.I.P. Mirage
Frank, it’s good to see you didn’t really die in Baltimore all those years ago! Welcome back 😂😂
@@joshnordlund 😂
Me too playing caps early on a Sun. morning with another young guy from Chi suburbs He only threw 6 and 8 . We both placed them I made about $400 he was fearless made $40 k. Most fun I have had at a crash table ( even though dealers hassled us to distract us ; no such luck . WE WERE EXPERIENCED !!!
Welcome back Frank! About to see you again. Currently watching The Wire season 1 episode 12 for the twelfth time!
@@Just-E536 Nice, haha! I must've watched the show from start to end about 6 times.
I’m sad to see that place go. I use to go all the time in the 90”s with my family. It was my moms favorite place. She married her second husband there in 93. The wedding was so beautiful😢
Salute to the Mirage and 30+ years! You will live on in our hearts ❤ Great video Jacob 👍🏾
Yes it will! Thank you Dolphin!
Sad it's not that old and it's beautiful ❤️
I have been going to Las Vegas with my family for decades.... And I can distinctly remember when they showed up on the strip and had that volcano! We were all used to nothingness at night and all the sudden - a night time destination to see something you won't see at home! I remember feeling the heat of the flames and just loved it. RIP Mirage.
😭Oh the beginning of the vid 😭.
It may be better or it may not. I've always thought these older themed hotels should stay, just be remodeled as necessary. There's plenty of land to start another Strip with these modern techy feel hotels. I've said that about Fremont. But I don't understand real estate and business. Great vid Jacob! Glad to hear there's still a lot of time to wrap our heads around whyyyyyyyy?? 😭
It's where we spent our honeymoon 25 years ago. It was my first time to Vegas and man did it not disappoint. I've had the "bug" ever since. Bye Mirage - thanks for the wonderful memories!!!!
It is easy to get the vegas bug for sure. 😊 I hear ya. I will remember this Hotel for ever.
Mirage is my favorite property! It's not too big, not too uptight or trashy, the pool is great, and has decent inexpensive eats. The location is also ideal. I'm genuinely bummed that it's going away! One the last few Vegas locations with personality
I don't plan on visiting the Hard Rock. They ruined a piece of Vegas history. The guitar rendering looks dumb af
Rip Mirage!
I stayed at the Mirage in the early 90's. I don't remember the prices but being as cheap as I am I doubt if I would spend $100 for it. There was no resort fee. The room was probably $59 a night. The Mirage doesn't look aged at all unlike the 2-story Sands which I also stayed at. That needed to be gutted and was gutted. lol The Guitar Hotel will be freaking expensive. Like I said, the Mirage doesn't look aged or dated at all. I think it's dumb to tear it down.

I'm old Vegas ...these new HIGHER prices and not as many deals as the old days are what's keeping me away.
Oh God I will miss that place! Great service, great pools, the volcano warmed out night time imaginations…won [and lost[ some money there, had fun, good times…just a gem of a landmark. Hopefully they are keeping some pieces…the sign should go to the neon museum and join the many others from Vegas history. Farewell old friend. Onwards, and cheers!
I will always remember great memories visiting the Mirage after seeing the movie Vegas Vacation. I will always remember the Secret Gardens there especially the volcano. The Mirage Hotel will always have a special place in my heart with those great memories I had!!!
I remember when it was built . Wow , lotta memories . End of an era I guess ..
That was awesome seeing that footage of the Mirage being built. Nice that you gave a shout out to the friendly staff!🤩
The Mirage had a lot of years left on it. Sad to see it go. Excellent farewell video.
The Mirage is going to be gone but Circus Circus is going to live FOREVER!
Everybody here having a good time, and ya gotta piss on them with truth? LOL
@@Skulllywag yes
🤣🤣
Unbelievable huh? The place is a dive.
As the old proverb goes, Pearls to Swine
Thanks for the history and a final look at the Mirage. My wife and I stayed there for the first time back in March 2022. We didn't really know the Mirage's history at that time, but now we were thankful to have stayed there in all of its glory.
Mirage has always been a top class place.
Love the Mirage.
But why is it raining on my face?! Oh boy Jacob is out here making us all sad and misty-eyed. What a lovely tribute to the Mirage Jacob 😢 Great video!
There are rain drops on my face, too. That's the one property I was hoping wouldn't go. I love nature as much as I love bling. Just sad. ☹️
So sad to see the iconic Mirage go. It was so amazing back in the day😢
Love the Mirage. Lots of memories. Hate to see it go! Shark tank, white tigers, 1 oak night club. Sad day indeed
The Mirage always brings back memories of National Lampoon Vegas Vacation movie and Chevy Chase.
The Mirage is still one of the best resorts in Vegas! I like it better than the new resorts like Resorts World or even the Hard Rock resorts in florida. The volcano, secret garden, pool with waterfall, and the great entertainment are what makes Vegas resorts unique.
Agreed! Most of the newer cookie cutter resorts could be placed in any other city and would fit right in.
Mirage has character, that's what makes it special!
Mirage was built by Steve Wynn who created the beautiful (and better) Bellagio, Wynn & Encore casinos
.
A new Mirage will be built someday
My first trip to vegas from uk stayed at the mirage absolutely loved it! It will be forever a great memory!
Stayed there with family a number of years ago. Also, frequently would gamble there on other stays. Vegas is constantly changing, but it is a shame to see the more iconic places being torn down and replaced.
I'll be staying there next week for Christmas.
Have fun!
@@shonta wish I was going. How fun!!$$ Love that place.
@@dougs8189 I do too! I'm a big nature lover so this hotel is at the top of my list. Sadly it seems eventually all themed hotels will be gone. I was hoping this one would survive the grip of corporate hands but alas, it's not to be.
@@shonta yes I did love that hotel for that reason. And that volcano 🌋 was awesome. Watched it at least once every time down there. I swear I went down twice a year there for a good stretch of time.
RIP The Mirage. Thanks for the great memories! 👍🏽🍻
That's so sad 🙁Good bye Mirage going to miss you so.
Hey Jacob. Thanks for doing this finale goodbye. Although we never spent much time there, we did love the volcano show. It will be missed. We do look forward to the hard rock coming to the strip. Hope to see you soon. 🤘🎸
The mirage was our favourite hotel to stay at.
Another knife into the heart of Steve Wynn.
Wynn created new Vegas when he built the first new age mega resort The Mirage in 1990.
Wynn got into financial trouble and had to sell his Vegas casinos to MGM. MGM destroyed Wynn's pirate show at the TI and now HardRock is destroying the volcano at the Mirage. Both free shows are gone, as Vegas is all about money, money, money today.
It has always been about money, money...especially when it comes to Steve Wynn. Also, Wynn was the end of the Mafia Vegas, not New Vegas.
Yes
When I was there in March of 2022 I found out about the Mirage. glad I took lots of pictures and the video of the volcano
Thank you for YouTubing the mirage! I work there for 20 years and please keep informing us about what’s going on because we all here mirage employees are scare of losing our job , thank you!
I love the Mirage and have always had a great experience there! Best wishes to you and all you wonderful staff there!
Another great production Jacob just got back from vegas yesterday stayed at Mirage will miss it love the location staff restaurants etc keep up the great work
Glad to say I got to see the epic volcano. Mirage you will be missed. I suddenly feel old 😢💀
My first Vegas hotel! I remember seeing Siegfried and Roy twice in the same trip. I loved it so much my grandma took me a second time to see it! Such good memories 💕
I went when it opened, and was told about the AMAZING PALM TREES planted around the property. Millions, and MILLIONS of dollars for those trees!! …..They better save them!!
Great memories! Spent my honeymoon at Excalibur in 1990 and all the construction around that time was amazing. Loved the volcano and pirate show next door. I do love hard rock too, so looking forward to that too.
Hello 👋 Jacob. Thank you for sharing your video. I wished I could have visited the Mirage years ago. .
So glad I was able to visit the Mirage in the early days. The Secret Garden and the Dolphin pool, etc were wonderful. So sad to know it will be gone soon.
Going to miss this place! My first time ever staying in Vegas was at the mirage
this makes me sad. I stayued there in March. The lobby is amazing
Staying here next Saturday for four nights, after our first stay last year. Beautiful place, sad to see it go!
My first visit to Mirage was in 1990.. My last visit was last weekend..
Great memories.. I saw the volcano eruption for last time...
I stayed at the Mirage for 3 hours it was pretty nice.
I'm devastated that the mirage is going away. It is my favorite property in Las Vegas. So many awesome experiences
So sad. I always stay at TI and loved the tram connection to Mirage. Hung out and gambled there frequently. But this added onto the ridiculous prices, 6/5 blackjack and ever-increasing fees means I'm unlikely to return. Thanks Vegas - for letting me know I'm not welcome.
Outstanding video, Jacob you put a lot of time and effort, Outstanding jobs, keep up the great videos
Sad to see this name fade from the marquis.. Growing up there during the late 90’s and 2000’s the secret garden holds a special place in my nostalgia bank ❤
I remember when this first opened, it was extremely popular and often was booked months in advance.
I stayed there back in 2000. Was the best hospitality experience. Goodbye , Mirage!!!
Great video Jacob! We will certainly miss the The Mirage. Your work here did her justice.
I’m heading there for Christmas hopefully it’s still in good shape there!
Have fun!
For sure one of my more favorite places to stay in Vegas. Sad to see it go
WOW, what a great video man. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
Very nice video Jacob and thanks for bringing back so many memoroes sir!
Thank you Tommy! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice tribute Jacob
Beautiful history of this amazing entertainment place an the volcano ...to see it drastically b changing saddening. Thank you Jacob for making time tour 😊
Thanks for everything, Mirage. I'm going to miss you once the time comes for the transition. 🙏 The memories will always be ones for a lifetime!
My first trip to Vegas was in 2008. We actually booked our stay at The Mirage. But we changed it at the last minute. Once we were there ,we became Ceasers rewards players and never stayed at The Mirage, thru the years and many times we came back. Always regretted that we didn't stay at the mirage. We did come and see the volcano. My life partner Spike passed away 12/31/20 from covid. So I don't know if I will ever be back. (We actually planned on moving there, once we retired. So Thank you Jacob for all of your Awsome Videos. For now I live my Vegas crave thru you , Matthew and Pompsie n Greta. THANK YOU!
we stayed there back in the early 90's and this past June. Loved that place! Sad to see it change.
I stayed there in the early 90's and also at the Treasure Island. Some posts were complaining about the room and the small bathroom. Does it look aged or dated the last time you were there? I want to go visit.
Stayed there in the late 90s with a friend from Germany who had never been to Vegas. It was so elegant, and we loved seeing the tigers. It will be missed!
Great job Jacob! It makes me sad to see it go. I need to go down there one more time too.
Ninjas cutting onions around me... I'm not crying. I'll miss the Mirage.
I stayed there a couple of time in the early 90's. I know what you mean.
I’m from Australia, but have been to Vegas 7 or so times, I didn’t stay at the Mirage but I walked through it and saw the animal sanctuary and the Garden areas with my ex so thanks for bringing back some good memories mate, nice video, bye Mirage, hello Hard Rock
This is heartbreaking, knowing that Mirage will soon close its doors. I remember New Years Eve 1990, being at awe of watching that volcanic eruption show for the first time. I didn’t see the animals, but the Sigfried & Roy with the white tiger statue in the front of the hotel. Flowers In front of the statue when Sigfried got injured by one of the tigers. Too much loss of famous people in 2022, but now losing The Mirage…. 😪🙏🏼
So glad we went last month, didn't stay at Mirage but went to see Love and ate at Otoro. Sad to see such and iconic property go but out of the old the new will arise. I will be excited to see how it turns out once Hard Rock is finished. Great video Jacob 👍👍
Thanks for the farewell video Jacob. They can tear down the Mirage but memories last forever.
Hi Jacob. Thanks for this. Your videos are top-notch.
We just got home after 3 nights in Mirage and it felt like we were still there.
We just the Mirage and are very sad to see it coming to an end😥
I am so sad to see this hotel go. It’s beautiful and tropical which is what Las Vegas needs since it’s in the middle of the desert . It’s my favorite hotel resort in Vegas
And it hosted the Griswold family in Vegas Vacation. So much of the casino and hotel was featured in that movie.
Goodbye, Mirage.
So sad to hear of this closing 😢 My NOM worked at the Mirage for over a decade or so.... In the early 90's.. she worked the Porker Room and was 1 of the Best dealers! She had so many regulars... She made an incredible income back in that time . She was so well LOVED at this time💖💔💖
Mom ... Virginia... Nick named ... 'Ginny'.... She was the Best of the Best ❣️
Love the exit into the closet!
I appreciate how you did not focus on the flaws because it is a 33 year old property and its a lot of work maintaining it to make it look as good as it does. I Enjoy your videos
Great video Jacob, great tribute 👍 think it has looked tired for years but just something about that place, had some good nights in the Jet nightclub back in the day for the brief period it was open, and just love the “Mirage” livery on the chips, such a cool place for everything it has offered over the years…. Thank You!!
I stayed there in 2010 on my first trip to Las Vegas. The hallways, the room, it’s identical. I’m going to miss that place.
I stayed there in early 90's. The shear size compared to what was there was immense and beautiful. In Vegas, change is now constant and investment has has gone into the millions. Food was inexpensive back then an over the top buffets . Promotions galore. Today....10 times higher, not only hotel rooms, food and airline tickets not to mention the extra fees. I loved it! Thanks for your great videos, I have the itch...lol. Great stories, you have really progressed with higher quality content which has caused the itch. 👍😃
Tons of memories from there. New Year's Eve sigfried and Roy. Great dealers
Having lived there in the 90’s I visited the Mirage quite often. When you didn’t have much money to spend on entertainment this was one of many places to relax and have a good time. Mirage will be missed! 😢
Got married in Vegas in August and stayed here. My wife and I had never been to Vegas and we LOVED the Mirage. So sad to see it change hands. I think the Volcano is incredible and one of the coolest things I have seen. 🌋
Just got back from Vegas yesterday and didn't get a chance to go inside and see the Mirage one last time. :( My favorite hotel with my favorite pool. It will be missed!
Always liked the Mirage especially the old poker room.
Another outstanding video, this channel rocks
THANK YOU FOR THIS! WILL MISS THE MIRAGE? 😢 😞 💔 😔
I absolutely loved the volcano show and the mirage is awesome never stayed there though lol it sucks that there getting rid of the main attraction
My parents went there as a gift from us and loved the Hawaiian feel to it! 😢
Nice retrospective of an iconic Vegas landmark. My first glimpse of the Mirage was in 1988, my last trip as a bachelor. It was under construction and already dwarfed anything else on the Strip. When completed, it ushered in a new era. Bellagio, Venetian, Wynn and all the other megaresorts followed in Mirage's footsteps. It had an excellent buffet, reasonably priced, and the Snacks eatery that you sampled used to be a Stage Deli -- terrific deli, as opposed to the plastic stuff featured in Snacks. While I never stayed there, my mother-in-law and her friend made pilgrimages a couple of times a year and they loved it. Everything changes - especially Vegas - but the Mirage was truly a bit of history.
So sad , thanks for the memories
I worked there for 23 years. Nothing is better than that volcano! The hard rock is not gonna rock!
I remember the classic songs that would play at the Mirage. Center of the strip. Always got your attention. Definitely will miss it. 😞
Mirage was my favorite Casino in Vegas not to big
not to small easy to get around in stood the test of time sad to see it go
this hotel is one of my favorites and I stay there constantly. I am so sad its going. I have so many memories of going there since I was a kid. I was fortunate enough to see sigfried and roy AND the dolphin and lion habitat. Those were great times. Ill never forget walking through the doors where diablos is right now and seeing the tiger exhibit through the glass window in the casino and buying a stuffed tiger in the gift shop across the way. No one will ever understand this casino's legacy unless uve been there since the 80s
