LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Mirage archway sign found its new home at the Neon Museum.
The 30-foot sign was transported out of the former casino Wednesday.
“With great thanks to Hard Rock International and The PENTA CARES Foundation, the iconic Mirage will live on for generations in The Neon Museum’s collection,” said Aaron Berger, Executive Director of The Neon Museum. “This property was pivotal in the development of Las Vegas. Through this artifact and others being donated, the Museum will be able to tell incredible stories ranging from gaming, to hospitality, casino design and the architectural feat of building a volcano on Las Vegas Blvd.”
Hard Rock International donated the sign following their decision to permanently close the iconic Las Vegas casino.
The Neon Museum says this is just the first of many Mirage artifacts and statues they will receive.
The Mirage sign welcomed guests for the past 34 years. The casino opened on Nov. 22, 1989. Hard Rock took over operations Dec. 22.
