Farewell Stay at The Mirage - Pool, Atrium, LOVE, Volcano & More

Well friends, 2024 sure seems to be the year that the Las Vegas Strip is saying goodbye to a lot of big names. The latest one to announce its closing is the fabled Mirage, a golden resort that opened in 1989 and ushered in the era of family-friendly, themed Las Vegas. And what a theme! It's a tropical oasis today, just as it was all those years ago.
Join us as we enjoy one more overnighter at The Mirage, and capture as many memories as we can: the room, the pool, the atrium, the aquarium, dinner at The Still, breakfast at the Pantry, the Beatles LOVE show, and of course the iconic volcano. So much that sets this place apart, and we want to remember it all!
A special thank you to Tom from California, who gifted us the ticket to the Beatles LOVE show.
To plan your visit to Mirage before their closing on July 17th, visit their website:

I saw love years ago, and loved it, being a huge Beatle’s fan. We always enjoyed seeing the volcano every time we visited. What was so nice about mirage were the waterfalls, and the feeling of being somewhere tropical. I wonder what will happen to all the fish? Hopefully they will live on somewhere else. Thanks for the nostalgia. Stay cool!❤

It's not that it's a bad idea on its own, Hard Rock guitar is iconic and this takes it up a level, but it's that it's REPLACING the GORGEOUS tropics of Mirage, that's the very hard part

Until my wife passed in 2017, this was the only place we ever stayed in Vegas. She preferred its central-Strip location and the tropical theme--the cocoa butter scent is one I will never forget. (But, like you, Dale, we never won anything either, though I did on my farewell visit earlier this month.) I loved Pantry--their breakfast food was great at all hours. The pool is also my favorite of all the resorts: big and airy and beautiful. And the volcano is an icon I will never forget; I nearly cried when I watched it one final time this month. I will miss this place and I thank you for giving it to sendoff it deserves. A truly great vlog--a keeper.

This one hurts. I’ve had so many good times with family and friends at The Mirage. It was my favorite resort and home base in Vegas for many years. I still remember my first time walking through the doors and thinking it was the most amazing place in town. The comps were great we usually had a massive tower suite overlooking the volcano. The first trip I ever took my now fiancé on was to Mirage. I’ll cherish the memories and hate to see it go.

What a great video. Thank you both. It’s turning into a sad year as we say goodbye to two places I absolutely loved. I got married in that little Trop chapel, and have so many wonderful memories of great rolls and fun with my work mates and families over the years at The Mirage. I got to say goodbye in May and saw Shin Lim and really enjoyed the sushi bar there. I understand that Vegas will always change and I’m fine with it but it does make me sad. Now, the only hotel/casino outside of downtown where we can go to relive great Vegas memories is the Westgate. Thanks again for the wonderful videos.

The Icon that renovated Las Vegas and ushered in the "new era" of resorts is now going away. I remember the service, the friendly staff, the whole place was very beautiful l, I'm going to miss the place, Don't know about the guitar replacing Mirage. Now, If you want the "Old Vegas Vibe" there is always Michael Gaugahn's place "the south point, yes fairly new, but with a good old times Vibe courtesy of the staff and Mr Gaugahn's view of what a Vegas Resort should be. Thanks a lot for giving us a last view of the old great place!, you're great Dale and Paula!

Imo Hard Rock has already ruined the place with music playing so loud in the casino that we couldn't even have a conversation while playing side by side at noon! A huge mistake to transform such an icon. 😢

Wonderful video as always! So glad you could visit one last time, and this very video may serve us well in the future as we reminisce after it closes. There's something about Mirage that just magically comes together, the tropical theme, the wonderful water features and the open airy spaces like the atrium and its fabulously beautiful pool and waterfalls. It just works! One of my favorite moments in my one visit there was dining early lunch at the paradise cafe (sorry it was closed for you, it used to be open Mondays as that's when I was there)...great food, good price, beautiful decor and lounge chairs in a proper al fresco style restaurant RIGHT by the pool and waterfalls. Just magic. Thanks for bringing back some good memories showing the Mirage (the Still was another favorite)...good one guys!

I always hope when I’m there (once or twice a year) that our paths will cross so I can get you all a G&T while thanking you for your work. And Dale, if you go the nonalcoholic route we’ll just find something else! Bringing my own video equipment because I’ve always thought about making videos like you and a few others I follow. I love the city and folks like you (especially you) that highlight my favorite vacation destination. Thanks for the video of a hotel I’m thrilled I stayed at before it changes over.

Servers like that need to be fired on the spot.

Thanks for a last look at The Mirage. An operable window on a building like that is unusual. Normally they construct them with windows that can't open so that outside air does not impact the heating and cooling system. Dale, as for how far that window opens, I think the Building Code limits it to no more than about 4 inches so that people (especially children) can't fall out. As always, keep the great content coming!

Paula & Dale, thank you very much for another great video. Sadly, I am devastated that Mirage and Beatles Love will be gone. I was supposed to travel to Vegas this April with my wife to cellebrate our 25th wedding anniversary (with Vegas Vows), had everything booked but had to postpone the trip for 2025. I was sad that we would miss much anticipated Volcano Show, but did not know our main attraction to enjoy, The Beatles Love, would also go. We will postpone our trip indefinetly, hoping that it will come back. We will continue to enjoy your videos, however. Do you know by any chance if after the Hard Rock remodeling the Beatles Love would return? I truly hope so!! It goes along perfectly with the Hotel's theming... take care, and thanks for letting us enjoy Vegas nevertheless.

So many amazing memories there, including turning 21 officially on a trip with my mom while sitting at a slot machine, turning 30 there with my husband and so many trips in between! The Carnegie deli before it closed was SO good and you truly can’t beat the mirage location! It felt like a tropical heaven, in the middle of the dessert! Thank you for taking us along and giving the mirage a permanent place for us to look back on right here on your channel! The strip won’t be the same with an ugly glass guitar dominating the site lines - that volcano and gorgeous landscaping will be missed!

I’ve never been inside Mirage or seen the volcano show but it seems like Hard Rock is making some bad decisions. The rendering of the guitar shaped tower placed so close to the strip looks incredibly unsightly and will forever negatively impact the sight lines of the strip. The volcano is an iconic and much beloved part of Las Vegas history. It’s a shame that Hard Rock couldn’t have found a way to embrace, incorporate and enhance the unique and beautiful features of Mirage with the innovative and new designs for the Hard Rock and just enhance the property with the best of both worlds. That giant guitar tower just doesn’t excite me nor bring about any feeling of “baited breath” anticipation for its completion.

The new hard rock is not gonna reopen for another three years so all those employees at the Mirage are going to lose their jobs. Once they reopen, hard rock will probably bring in their own people.

The hard rock is owned by the Seminole Indians. You were wearing a cowboy hat, i am guessing the reason they didn't offer you a drink is because these Indians don't like cowboys.

I'm so sad the Mirage is going to be gone. My favorite beautiful place on the strip. They're taking this away for a stupid Hard Rock that couldn't make it any place else....they've pretty much closed up every where else. WOW!!!! So STUPID.
