The iconic volcano situated at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in vibrant Las Vegas is undergoing destruction.
The End of an Era for The Mirage's Volcano Spectacle
According to the construction plans by Hard Rock International, the Mirage Hotel's eventual change into the Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas will initiate with the destruction of its famous volcano spectacle on Las Vegas Boulevard. In lieu, a futuristic tower, resembling a gleaming guitar, will be erected.
What Transpires at The Mirage Volcano Display?
Since 1989, the volcano on Las Vegas Boulevard has been a captivating, free-of-charge attraction for both local residents and tourists. By 2008, following an upgrade, the volcano staged more powerful eruptions and a striking soundtrack, featuring compositions by Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and accomplished tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain.
The volcano erupts every hour on the hour, punctuating the stillness with a deep rumble. It erupts in a lagoon in front of the hotel entrance and is surrounded by a captivating display of lights and sounds.
The enthralling spectacle unfolds with a low tremble, followed by a massive explosion and a series of smaller eruptions, all synchronized with a mesmerizing soundtrack. The volcano unleashes a shower of 150 fireworks, reaching up to 65 feet in the air.
As the volcano continues to erupt, the natural gas pipes and fiery red lights create the illusion that the entire lagoon is ablaze.
The jaw-dropping display unfolds for approximately 10 minutes.
Preparations for the construction of the guitar stage and guitar tower are slated to begin on the current site of the volcano, though an official timeline has yet to be revealed. The construction project, however, must commence no later than November 16, 2024.
Although many Las Vegas residents and visitors will certainly miss this cherished attraction, the excitement surrounding the new Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is palpable.
Many online casinos in Germany offer virtual volcano-themed slot games as a tribute to The Mirage's iconic volcano spectacle. Despite the upcoming demolition, the soundtrack created by Mickey Hart and Zakir Hussain continues to be popular among music lovers, often used in online remixes and cover versions.
