Steve Wynn was the developer & opened the 1989 Mirage Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
Being the first mega-resort in Las Vegas, it raised the bar for luxury & entertainment in the casino business.
The famous volcano on the property, which erupts every night, gained popularity among tourists very fast.
A tropical oasis theme with lush landscaping all around the property, The Mirage pioneered the idea of themed resorts.
The 80-acre resort will be renamed as "Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas," with an opening date slated for 2027
Hard Rock International said more than 3,000 employees will be laid off as a result of the closure, and it expects to pay out $80 million in severance.
