The hotel that ushered in the era of the megaresort on the Las Vegas Strip is about to go dark.

It’s the end of an era for a famed Las Vegas hotel.  The Mirage Hotel & Casino will officially close its doors on July 17. The 65-acre property will then undergo an extensive construction and re-open in 2027 as the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas.  The Mirage’s transition to become the Hard Rock will visibly change the Las Vegas skyline, as a new 700-foot guitar will be built on the property, in a similar style as the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, FL. «While we pause for the incredible transformation of this iconic property, I'd like to thank all team members at The Mirage for their incredible commitment and helping us provide memorable experiences for our guests,» The Mirage’s President Joe Lupo said in a press release on Wednesday. For travelers looking to stay at the Mirage one last time before it closes, rates vary from $399 to $99 throughout the final months.
