Iconic

A symbol of a South Seas island oasis set in the middle of a harsh and arid desert, this resort opened in 1989 with 3,044 rooms. The Mirage is the first casino/resort in Las Vegas of its kind, and paved the way for billions of dollars in resort, residential, commercial and industrial projects both along the Strip and throughout the city of Las Vegas.

“They got it! First time out of the box!”

— Steve Wynn, upon viewing the scale model for The Mirage
