The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is closing its doors on July 17. But before that, it is giving $1.6 million in prizes.
According to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, all progressive jackpots must be awarded before a casino closes. So, between Tuesday and Thursday, the resort gave out $200,000 in slot machine prizes. The amount climbed to $250,000 for Friday and Saturday.
Gamers have been trying their luck at the casino’s slot machines that will give out $1.2 million, while the remaining $400,000 will be distributed as table game prizes.
Hard Rock acquired The Mirage’s operations from MGM Resorts International in December 2022 for more than $1 billion in cash.
