Las Vegas lovers, history buffs and casino collectors have a new jackpot to chase, as pieces of an iconic Strip resort are being auctioned off.
Hard Rock Las Vegas is holding a 30-day online auction featuring more than 300 statues, sculptures and pieces of art from The Mirage. Items for sale include the legendary bronze mermaids, several dolphin statues, a Chihuly piece of art and countless paintings that once adorned rooms and hallways throughout the former Strip casino-hotel.
The online auction will begin Wednesday morning and run through Sept. 19, according to a news release.
The to-be-auctioned items have been safeguarded on site since The Mirage closed its doors last summer. Over the last year, Hard Rock employees meticulously selected the items to be offered in the online auction.
