Looks like the new owners of The Mirage hotel and casino in Las Vegas will be doing away with the iconic volcano that is situated near Las Vegas Blvd. on the Las Vegas Strip.
According to the Las Vegas Sun:
Hard Rock International will do away with the Mirage volcano once construction begins to renovate and rebrand the property, the company’s CEO said.
“While we’re very respectful of the legacy of the volcano, we recognize that that is part of the Mirage of the past,” Hard Rock CEO Jim Allen during a Nevada Gaming Commission meeting today.
“We will not be continuing to operate the volcano once we commence construction,” he said.
Allen made his comments during a special meeting to consider approval of the $1.075 billion purchase of Mirage operations from MGM Resorts International.
Commissioners voted to OK the deal, which is expected to close as soon as Monday.
