Mirage Hotel
November 1st, 2009
Recorded April 28, 1998.
The Mirage is a 3,044 room hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip. The Mirage is connected by a free tram to Treasure Island, its sister property immediately to the north. The marquee in front of The Mirage is the largest free standing marquee in the world. The Mirage was built by developer Steve Wynn and opened in November 1989 on the former grounds of the Castaways hotel and casino.
The Mirage was the most expensive hotel/casino in history, with a construction cost of $630 million. The hotel’s distinctive gold windows get their color from actual gold used in the tinting process. It was reported that the resort would have to bring in a million dollars a day to pay off a 7-year construction loan. But in fact The Mirage did so well, the loan was paid off in just 18 months.
This video begins with my visit to the Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat and then concludes at sunset as I watch the artificial volcano along the Strip that “erupts” nightly from 5 pm – 11 pm on the hour.
