THE MIRAGE'S Official Website
|
|
|
|
A few years ago the
MGM/Mirage Corporation
was formed when MGM did a hostile takeover and acquired The Mirage.
Now The
Mirage is part of that company. |
|
|
|
Big time gambler, Steve Weinberg - AKA Steve Wynn - built
this baby in the late 80s. The opening of this hotel was an open
window onto the possibilities of what could be. It was a very exciting
time in Las Vegas. This is to say nothing of Weinberg leading the
assault on the destruction of old Vegas. Was it a good thing or was
it not such a good thing. wc |
|
|
|
When this hotel opened there was an extra charge of energy in Las Vegas,
especially in the evening when the Volcano was erupting (see photo above.)
Throngs of pedestrians lined the sidewalks - on both sides of Las Vegas
Boulevard - magnetized by the sights and sounds of the fiery Volcano.
It was a good thing. |

"Wynn had previously acquired
interests in various existing casinos. His first major Strip casino, The
Mirage, which opened in 1989, set a new standard for size and lavishness,
with construction costs to match. The Mirage featured an indoor forest and
an outdoor "volcano", and with high-quality room appointments and an
emphasis on service, The Mirage was another great success. The Mirage was
the first project in which he was involved in the design and construction
of a casino. The $630 million cost to build The Mirage was financed
largely with junk bonds issued by Michael Milken. The Mirage was
considered a risky venture by the standards then prevailing in Las Vegas
because of its high cost and emphasis on luxury. However, it proved to be
enormously successful and made Wynn a major part of Las Vegas history."

"Legendary electric picker,
BB King -
master of
Lucille
and owner of the classic Blues tune “The
Thrill is Gone” - brought his namesake restaurant, bar and nightclub:
BB King’s Blues Club
to the Mirage Hotel
in Las Vegas." click the Mirage's website link (above) for more information. |

Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat
- "The
Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is a tropical atmosphere, surrounded by
palm trees and lush foliage."
- Volcano - "Every night, our famed volcano puts on a sizzling show of its
own." (see below)
- Aquarium - "Spanning the length of our front desk, you'll be mesmerized by
this slice of coral reef life."
|
|
The Volcano (several times nightly, weather permitting) is
a spectacular production of an eruption of a volcano, with sounds, fire
and a lot of heat. The short -15-minute "performance" is impressive,
especially for first-timers. Exposed pipes, tubes etc. (vessels that carry
the gasses used to fuel flames,) just below the water's surface are a bit
distracting if you get too close. So stand back a bit. All n' all, it's
better to have a 'pipe showing,' spewing volcano than no spewing volcano
at all. |
|
The Volcano is in front of the property on Las Vegas Blvd. |
|
The Volcano spews nightly, on the hour from 7:00 pm until
midnight. |
|
The Mirage is a cool, exotic Hotel Casino - truly a
masterpiece. One does not want to leave this sanctuary readily. There
always seems to be more to explore, see or do at the Mirage. |

CRAVINGS BUFFET |

Most opinion polls rate this buffet quite high - usually in the top10... |

"Follow the intriguing aroma into a contemporary village of savory world
flavors. Celebrate the art of eating in a visually appetizing scene
designed by Adam Tihany and experience eleven cooking stations, a street
of restaurants and an array of tempting elements. Only at Cravings – the
ultimate buffet dining experience." [Excerpt is from The Mirage's

Of course, this is one of the better buffets in Las Vegas. This new
buffet cost between $12 million and $14 million (according to a LV rag
that was found on a city bus. [200?)
