The Mirage volcano’s days are numbered.
Permits issued to Mirage operator Hard Rock International show the property’s transition to Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas is expected to begin with the demolition of the hourly volcano show along Las Vegas Boulevard to make way for a guitar-shaped hotel tower.
Property officials announced May 15 that the iconic Strip property, famous for setting the modern blueprint for Las Vegas megaresorts, will close on July 17 for a three-year renovation.
The company plans to build a 660-foot tall, all-suite hotel tower shaped like glass back-to-back guitars, with other sweeping renovations inside the property’s main building.
