Better act fast, baby. If you’re a Vegas addict, a well-known staple of the strip will be disappearing. It almost seems impossible but, sadly, its true. Soon, it will transmogrify into The Hard Rock. All of this is certain, but what it means when it comes to the Mirage as we know it is still uncertain. The building will stay, without a doubt, but what about the interior? The rooms? The gambling areas? All of this is a big question mark.
If you have a love of “old” Vegas” this may be your last chance to be a part of history. The property, first opened in 1989, helped ring in a metamorphic era, clearing a path for future luxury and uber-resorts in the desert destination.
