Mirage Las Vegas Required By Law To Give Away $1.6 Million In Final Days Before Closure

The Mirage hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip will close its doors on July 17, but only after lucky gamblers won $1.6 million in unclaimed progressive jackpots.

The iconic property opened in 1989 as the Strip’s first megaresort and must distribute nearly $1.2 million from progressive slot machines and $400,000 from progressive table games before shutting down. Nevada law requires these funds, primarily comprised of gamblers’ losses, to be paid out since Hard Rock, the Mirage’s owner, has no other affiliated casinos in the state.

The casino has launched “The Mirage Progressive Finale Cash Giveaway” promotion to meet this requirement. The event will run from July 9-13 and on July 16, offering multiple opportunities for visitors to win.

For slot machine enthusiasts, the promotion guarantees $200,000 in cash prizes daily from July 9-11, increasing to $250,000 on July 12 and 13 and concluding with $100,000 on July 16. Drawings will occur hourly between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on these dates.

Table game players can vie for a share of the $400,000 progressive pot on July 12 and 13. Drawings for these prizes will take place at 8 p.m. on both days. Participants can earn entries by playing qualifying games such as face-up pai gow, ultimate Texas hold ’em, three-card poker, let it ride, blackjack and baccarat between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

The Mirage’s closure marks the end of an era for Las Vegas. The resort is credited with helping transform the city into a luxury destination. Its distinctive volcano feature and tropical theme have been Strip landmarks for over three decades.

The property’s shutdown paves the way for the construction of Hard Rock Las Vegas. The new development will feature a guitar-shaped hotel tower and is slated to open in 2027.

Interested participants can find more information about the cash giveaways and official game rules on the Mirage’s website.
