Vegas' Mirage Resort Announces Liquidation Sale
Get ready to decorate your new Airbnb with remnants of Steve Wynn's shattered dreams.
Starting August 1, everything inside the rooms in The Mirage's towers will be available for purchase. Las Vegas-based liquidator Proximity Capital is set to clear the property before its three-year transformation into the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas.
The furniture and fittings within 3,028 Mirage rooms will be offered as entire-room packages only. Prices will vary from $1,250 for a one-king or two-queen room, to $2,500 for a 2BR tower suite, a 2BR penthouse suite, or a hospitality suite.
Proximity promises discounts for hotel and Airbnb owners, according to the sale's website, which went live before the casino resort shuts down on July 17.
It's unclear whether Proximity, or another entity, will offer additional public or private sales of items from the casino. (Neither Proximity nor The Mirage responded to emails seeking comment.)
This will be the second Las Vegas Strip resort liquidation sale in two months. Before the current demolition of the Tropicana, Ohio-based International Content Liquidations sold off its belongings in April - though that sale also included items from the property’s casino.
End of an Era
The Mirage was unveiled by casino tycoon Steve Wynn in 1989, revolutionizing Las Vegas from a hotspot for cheesy entertainment and cheap eats into a hotspot for star performances and top-tier dining - complete with premium pricing.
Hard Rock International, owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, acquired The Mirage's operating rights from MGM Resorts International for $1.1B in a cash deal that finalized late in 2022.
The Tribe plans to transform the luxury resort into the subsequent Hard Rock Las Vegas, replacing The Mirage's volcano with a 36-story guitar-shaped tower.
The first Hard Rock, situated off the Strip, was sold to billionaire Richard Branson and has been operating as Virgin Hotels Las Vegas since 2021.
