The piece has been envy of magician headliners in Las Vegas for decades, and a curiosity for millions of tourists.

We refer to the larger-than-life sculpture depicting Siegfried & Roy with a giant white tiger outside of The Mirage.

Word from hotel brass is the gold-painted piece is expected to be donated to the Neon Museum. Mirage President Joe Lupo says that is the idea, at least, among a thousand other duties as the hotel closes Wednesday. Neon Museum Executive Director Aaron Berger has not confirmed the plans and is not commenting.
