Las Vegas Mirage Casino: $1.6 Million In Prizes Up For Grabs
$6,000 Welcome Bonus
Casino players have a chance to win over $1.6 million at the Las Vegas Mirage Hotel and Casino before it on July 17. Attendees can participate in playing slots or table games to win prizes during the “Progressive Finale Cash Giveaway,” which started on July 9 and promises to payout over $1.6 million in cash, the casino said.
Casinos are required to create a plan to pay out their progressive jackpots before they close, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
The casino revealed that gamers can win $1.2 million in slot machine prizes and $400,000 at table games. Players interested in trying their luck at slots can use their free Hard Rock Unity Card, which is inserted for each drawing to be eligible to win. Drawings will be held every hour from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on July 9-13 and again on July 16.
Participants must be 21 years and older to play the games. One winner will be selected each hour. The winner must identify themselves at the Unity Players Club desk within five minutes of their win. If they do not, another player will be selected. All players are eligible to win more than once.
The prizes will be given to the winner in a voucher that can be redeemed for cash at the Mirage Casino Cage. All vouchers must be claimed by July 16 at 11:59 p.m., the hotel said.
After more than three decades in business, the Mirage Hotel and Casino is closing its doors. The 3,000-room resort will cease operations on July 17 as it undergoes a three-year renovation that wipes away any markings of the Mirage and its tropical theme.
Opened in 1989 by casino mogul Steve Wynn, the Mirage ushered in an era of luxe resorts for the Strip and was the first resort to have a sidewalk attraction with its volcano, prompting the Bellagio and Venetian to imitate the Mirage with their dancing fountains and canals.
“We look forward to the beginning of an exciting journey into a new era as Hard Rock Las Vegas will ignite the Strip with entertainment, innovation, and world-class hospitality,” the Mirage said on its , which has been flooded with memories in the comments.
In addition to the volcano, the Mirage was also home to other quintessential Las Vegas features like Siegfried and Roy’s white tigers show and a Cirque du Soleil show set to Beatles music.
The resort will reopen in 2027 as Hard Rock Las Vegas, with a soaring 700-foot-tall hotel tower in the shape of a guitar, similar to its Florida property, with the volcano being destroyed to make space for new rooms.
