The Mirage Closes After 35 Years, Making Way for Hard Rock's Guitar Hotel

The iconic Las Vegas resort, which transformed the Strip, will be replaced by a new Hard Rock Hotel set to open in 2027.

The Mirage ceased operations on July 17, 2024, ending its 35-year legacy on the Las Vegas Strip.
Hard Rock International plans to build a guitar-shaped hotel on the site, adding 600 rooms to the existing property.
The Mirage's closure marks the end of its famous attractions, including the volcano feature and the Beatles-themed Cirque du Soleil show.
The transformation is part of a broader trend in Las Vegas towards luxury accommodations and high-end entertainment.
3,000 employees were affected by the closure, with hopes of rehiring for the new resort's 2027 launch.
