Las Vegas, Nevada – The iconic Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is preparing to close its doors for good on July 17 after over three decades of entertainment on the famous Vegas strip. Before the final curtain falls, the casino is gearing up to give away a whopping $1.6 million in prizes as required by Nevada law.
According to Nevada state law, any unclaimed progressive jackpots from slot machines and games must be paid out to players and gamblers before a casino permanently closes. The Mirage is set to distribute the cash prizes over the course of seven days, starting from Tuesday, July 9, to Tuesday, July 16.
The casino, which first opened in 1989, is planning to give out $200,000 in guaranteed winnings on the slots each day from Tuesday through Thursday. Then, the prizes will increase to $250,000 on Friday and Saturday before dropping to $100,000 on July 16. In total, the slot machine prizes will amount to $1.2 million, with an additional $400,000 to be awarded in winnings from table game jackpots.
For those looking to participate in the cash giveaways and learn more about the game rules, detailed information can be found on the casino’s website. The Mirage will soon undergo a transformation into the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with an anticipated opening date in 2027.
As the final days of the Mirage Hotel & Casino approach, visitors and fans have the chance to experience the excitement and thrill of winning big before bidding farewell to a Las Vegas institution. The casino’s closure marks the end of an era but paves the way for a new chapter in the city’s vibrant entertainment landscape.
