It’s a view I’m thrilled I was able to have @360Vegas Vacation 11 before we lose the iconic property that started the greatest revolution in Las Vegas gaming. Virtually everything we have in Vegas today is thanks, in some part, to the Mirage. I’m sure people who loved the Sands felt the way I feel about losing the Mirage, specifically that volcano. While a guitar hotel does sound cool it doesn’t add an “only in Vegas” attraction. The more market continues to gentrify itself the less special a place Las Vegas will become. Despite still drawing crowds whenever it starts going off, some say this icons lifespan has come to an end. Doesn’t matter if we agree or disagree with that, the fact of the matter is that we are going to lose her. Sadly, even the Neon Museaum can’t save this icon. So, much like a loved one with a terminal diagnosis, its time to enjoy the Mirage as much as you can before she erased from the famous Las Vegas strip.
