For more than 30 years, the fiery water show has entranced the masses along the Strip, free to anyone who might be passing by.
But the days of The Mirage’s volcano are numbered as the transformative resort undergoes its own transformation as part of Hard Rock international’s $1.075 billion acquisition of the property.
Hard Rock International Chairman Jim Allen told Bloomberg in December that it would be torn down as part of the planned remodel. The company plans to completely rebrand the property as Hard Rock Las Vegas and create a “brand-new resort” that will include the brand’s signature guitar-shaped hotel. A rendering of what the revamped property would look like shows the new guitar hotel sitting in roughly the same location now occupied by the volcano.
