Steve Wynn was a visionary. The Mirage will be missed.

1:28 The guy was right. Mirage paved the way for other mega resorts we know and love like MGM Grand, Paris, and the Bellagio

I always remember the pleasant smell as soon as you entered the building,me and my brother would always stay there and comment on the atmosphere and sort of coconut fragrance that it had------no other hotel could compare to that in our opinion!!!!

[@BradyKaynee]

The Mirage was my favorite hotel in Las Vegas. End of an era.

It’s the only Resort on the Strip I like to visit.
