Every Vegas hotel becomes a shittehole. Either keep up with the maintenance, and keep the rooms renovated and up-to-date, or die.

Only been to Sin City (not Lynn) once.
Walked into the Mirage Book and said wow.
Think they once called it the Super Book.
Great time.

20 years ago my favorite. The queers and their tigers.....the registration desk with the big aquarium behind it.....California Pizza kitchen by the sports book and Jimmy Vacarro behind the counter. Loved it.

Shocking actually. Decent hotel compared to the others that need to close.

There is a lot of construction but the bangers don’t hangout on the strip JJ.

Siegfried and Roy was one of the best shows in Vegas. You take a woman to that show and her draws were coming off later for sure. Nothing lasts forever. Sad.
Place has needed renovations for at least a decade. Can hear everything in the rooms.

The Mirage is the casino that began the destruction of Vegas history; it was the first mega resort.

This is pretty old news, but every Vegas source says it won’t close but will remain open as they transition to Hard Rock. RIP volcano though. Other rumors have the demolition of Luxor and Excalibur not too far off, though they are pretty rundown I would rather they renovate those so Vegas can keep some hotels that are fun with a them and not boring.

The Mirage is where I fell in love with sports betting.
Sitting in their Sportsbook in the mid-90’s was an awesome experience. Nothing else like it.
Also loved that smell of fresh pumped oxygen when you walked into the door.
Definitely some great memories.

I have many fond memories back in the day there. The Mirage was the best hotel on the strip at one time. I remember the fruity flowery carpet.
I went and stayed there when it was peaking. All the celebs and sport pro's would be there. All good things must come to an end. It's out dated now and a dump. Tear it down. Next.....

The Hotel will not be torn down. Just the volcano.
