Wow thanks because people here are telling me I’m wrong and everyone knew somehow.

The employees are not losing nothing! It's very annoying how you start off on a subject and then break off into something else like the water,or, subscriptions,or advertising,etc,etc.. What a total turn off!!! I don't feel any sympathy for those greedy culinary unions.. $2000 per month severance pay,and you feel sorry for them!?

@@chloeconniecarlton328 Correction: A one-time cash payment of $2000 per YEAR that they worked at the hotel, plus 6 months of pension and health benefits. Decent, but certainly not extravagant.

@@chloeconniecarlton328 well there are folks like the super nice lady we met there last night. Been there less than 2 years. How far does a single $2000 payment get her? What about someone with 20yrs at the property earning $85,000 that now starts over somewhere else at $65k. It’s deeper than most think. I hope you can appreciate that.

@@chloeconniecarlton328 $2000 per year PointDexter. Biden voter?

Feel exactly like you. The Mirage is my favorite hotel. Went to Vegas in December of 1989. It was my second trip to Vegas. I was in Junior High. Still have fond memories of that property. It still is awesome but use to be super awesome until MGM had financial issues with City Center and started neglecting all their properties. Before MGM started being cheap the whole lagoon use to light on fire when the volcano blew. it simulated a river of lava where the water cascades down from the volcano. Sad thing is all MGM had to do was appropriately maintain that property and it would have been awesome forever. These days there is nothing special or themed about the new hotels. Places like Aria, Resorts World and Fontain Bleu, while nice, seem similar to a large Hilton or Marriot, but with a casino, that you could find in any major city. When Steve ran Mirage Resorts the service at all those Mirage Resorts properties, Mirage, Treasure Island, Golden Nugget, Bellagio, was second to none. I miss the Mirage Resorts days and will miss the Mirage for sure. It's what inspired me to pursue a Business Major in college. Feel like with Mirage going away a chapter in my life is closing. Farewell Mirage. You will be missed. Sure Hard Rock is coming but it won't be the same, and you can get a Hard Rock in other cities.

I believe the Hard Rock people said they would most likely keep the water feature with some changes and upgrades.

The water fountains in front of the Bellagio's days are numbered. No water shortage for them however since they sit upon vast water rights from when it was the old Dune's resort and golf course. I see that five acres that costs a lot of money to maintain changing into an asset that makes $$$. More shopping, more gambling, another CVS, that sort of development on that five acres of water.

I feel the same. We’ve been exclusively with the Mirage since 1999 when the white tigers were up front. Had to move on with the sale, but each year come back to visit all that I love about the Mirage and the latest two weeks ago to take in the smell and video the volcano. Oh this saddens me so much.

Agree100%

Kinda like the entire “city center”

If it ever gets actually built. Big projects seem to have a way of going astray.

It is broken tho. I’m on the strip everyday. No one goes to mirage compared to others

Well said...that was my same experience and reaction i had...i lived in vegas last 30 years and seen everything from Bellagio opening to the new fountain blue and everything in between...nothing compares to the mirage in 1989...it was so ahead of its time

Perhaps our tears will make that rush of water return nicely.

Add the 1400+ lost from Tropicana and visitors can expect room rates to tick up especially during big events

Yes all prices will skyrocket

@@vegasvan2000 But you had how many rooms added with two new resorts almost across the street from each other? It evens out somewhat room wise.

@@kennixox262 Good point

This is such a sensitive and touchy subject for so many, I have a feeling it will have a positive impact on other strip properties for YEARS to come. Resorts World is 3 years old, and there are still people who won't set foot inside, due to what was lost to make way for that project.

Ever since the mafia was forced out and corporate took over.

The whole "Hard Rock" theme thing is a bit out of date in my opinion. Rock music essentially died twenty years ago. It's all pop tweens now.

@@kennixox262 you can say the same thing about any music with real musical instruments. The music industry has promoted electronic music because it is cheaper to make and that is all they care about. They don’t care about quality music.

@@vgshwk Vegas had a resurgence though when the "corporations" took over. They then got greedy much like "the syndicate".

@@tomvu1470 The difference is the mafia never would’ve destroyed the north part of the strip.

I am not a financial advisor and can not see the econmy three years from now. My own personal econmy is based on my retirement savings and what I can afford and more important willing to spend. Vegas is in my rear view mirror. I got old and my living expenses like property taxes, medical and insurance have taken over my entertainment wants and needs. I was always a low roller and Vegas has moved on which is fine. Vegas exists for people that want a good time and have the resources to spend for a good time. I had my fun and its time to move on.

Fools are born every minute

If Sam’s Town got rid of their Waterfall Show, I’d be so mad and angry!!

they cant. New water restrictions don't allow for it.

@@marcfrey8019 My understanding of the regulation is it restricts any new water features but not for existing features.

They will never do that…. Its seems like the more we ask the higher they go to spite us lol 😂

Not to mention mike Tyson’s boxing matches there in the early 90s

Best buck 99 boofett in town

@@jameshall915 lol or pick a number 1-10 🤣

@@Ducksfan76 Now Mike Tyson is gonna face Jake Paul.

Tropicana had gone down in the 70s

@TeksonikAudio - You forgot to mention Circus Circus - the place has become a dump, and can’t be much longer for this world. I went there a couple of times in the early 1980s when I was in HS. It was still in it’s glory days back then and obviously the precursor to the “family experience” hotel/casino in Las Vegas. It’s really sad how far it’s fallen.

just get a MGM players card and MGM credit card.

I believe they found new homes a while ago

The animals were already relocated to sanctuaries and some of the dolphins did die due to respiratory problems. I am happy that the new owners moved the animals. Dolphins and lions do not belong in restricted spaces.

I picture Vegas abandoned in 20 years.

Yup. Less of the chlorinated smell you get at the Venetian and Bellagio. It actually smells nice.

Gambling at 5am is a red flag. 3 steps: draw a line in the sand; count your losses over the years, and; go home. Good odds casinos have all shut down, Trop, Mirage.

100% truth

There are a lot of the lower classes visiting Las Vegas all the time. Trashy people with their three foot long sugary booze drinks, tank tops, freaky inky tattoos and mullets.

And the best section of the Strip will be nothing but massive dusty construction for the next 3 plus years..

And Monte Carlo is not a same like before with Lazy River, waving pool .Now😔

Awesome, thank you!

Always buddy!
