| History |  |
From 1990 through 2003, the Mirage was the venue for the Siegfried & Roy show. The two headliners combined magic and the use of wild animals. The closing of the popular attraction in 2003, after Roy Horn was attacked by one of the white tigers used in the show, impacted the Mirage for a while. Siegfried & Roy's White Tiger Habitat keeps one of the white tigers always on view.
In 2004 Danny Gans took over the main showroom and marquee becoming the resorts main entertainment attraction.

| Description | |
An artificial volcano along the Strip "erupts" periodically during the evening. After sister property Bellagio opened, Wet Design, the company that helped create the Fountains of Bellagio attraction, redid the technology behind the volcano effect to make it more spectacular. To hide the smell of the natural gas used for the fire effects, The Mirage pumps out a pi?a colada scent.
A waterfall in front of the hotel uses approximately $10,000 worth of electricity per day to operate.
A 20,000-gallon aquarium stands behind the front desk.
The Mirage does not have a wedding chapel. The marquee in front of The Mirage is the largest free standing marquee in the world. |
