“Reopening The Mirage allows us to bring many more of our employees back to work, which is critical in the recovery of our community,” said Bill Hornbuckle, MGM Resorts’ CEO and president. The more than 3,000-room resort is known for its Polynesian island theme, erupting volcano and Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat animal attraction.

The Mirage, MGM Resorts International's iconic Las Vegas Strip resort reopened on Thursday, after being closed in mid-March to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

MGM decided to reopen the property ahead of the Labor Day holiday (September 7) and announced it with a statement calling the move a step toward economic health.

"Reopening The Mirage allows us to bring many more of our employees back to work, which is critical in the recovery of our community," said Bill Hornbuckle, MGM Resorts’ CEO, and president.

 

The more than 3,000-room resort is known for its Polynesian island theme, erupting volcano and Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat animal attraction, the Associated Press reports. It set a megaresort standard when it first opened in November 1989.

Restaurants and retail shops will open this week but live entertainment including Cirque du Soleil’s “The Beatles LOVE” remains dark amid ongoing restrictions on crowd sizes in Nevada.

MGM Resorts reopened three resorts when Gov. Steve Sisolak and the state Gaming Commission lifted closure orders June 4. The company has since resumed operations at several other properties, but its Park MGM remains closed.

Caesars Entertainment has yet to reopen the Cromwell and Planet Hollywood.

The Palms and the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino near the Strip also remain closed.
