Overview
- The operator filed an Oct. 10 Department of Buildings application to remove roughly 32,000 square feet of the venue’s temporary structures, a job estimated at about $1.5 million.
- City inspectors found the Mirage structurally unsafe and out of compliance on fire safety and accessibility, prompting permit denials and an order to repair or remove the buildout.
- Avant Gardner entered Chapter 11 in August, with court filings referencing liabilities as high as $500 million and a creditor-driven sale process now before the judge.
- The demolition filing sets no timeline, and neither the company nor the city has confirmed whether this signals a permanent shutdown or a future rebuild.
- The complex’s indoor Great Hall and Kings Hall remain open while vendors, artists and ticket holders seek payments and refunds tied to canceled or relocated shows.
