Hard Rock International (HRI) has announced plans to temporarily close The Mirage Hotel and Casino for extensive renovations, starting from July 17. The closure is part of HRI's vision to transform the iconic property into a new integrated resort, featuring a stunning 700-foot guitar-shaped tower inspired by the Hard Rock brand. Bookings for hotel accommodations and shows scheduled after July 14th will be automatically canceled, with refunds issued accordingly.
Originally opened in November 1989, The Mirage holds significant historical significance as one of Steve Wynn's inaugural projects. Boasting 3,044 rooms in its current configuration, the complex has undergone ownership changes over the years. After being sold to MGM Grand in 2000 and later repurchased by Wynn Resorts in 2002, The Mirage found its way into HRI's portfolio in 2022, managed by the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
Since acquiring The Mirage, HRI has been actively involved in Las Vegas operations, signaling its commitment to the city's hospitality landscape. Notably, the company secured a presenting partnership with the Formula 1 competition in November 2023, further solidifying its presence in the bustling entertainment hub of Las Vegas.
