Mirage to Close After Paying Out $1.6M Prize

Last Chance to Win Big at the Mirage

Thanks to a Nevada gaming policy, players have a final opportunity to win over $1.6 million at the iconic Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas before its closure on July 17. The "Progressive Finale Cash Giveaway" started on July 9, with over $1.2 million in slot machine prizes and $400,000 at table games up for grabs.

Per Nevada Gaming Control Board regulations, casinos must devise a plan to pay out progressive jackpots prior to closing:
