Why is the Mirage closing?
After more than three decades of business, the Mirage Hotel and Casino announced in May it would be shutting its doors.
The hotel's announcement was posted on its Facebook page on May 15. However, the hotel's post revealed that this is not the end of the road for its entertainment.
The business announced the resort will reopen in 2027 as Hard Rock Las Vegas.
"We look forward to the beginning of an exciting journey into a new era as Hard Rock Las Vegas will ignite the Strip with entertainment, innovation and world-class hospitality,” the post read.
