November 22, 1989 - The Mirage opened

Final completion was in early March 2002. There is over 100,000 square

a beauty salon and a selection of shops. It is the grounds that are
truly unique. An atrium rainforest serves as the central hub to all
areas of the hotel. There is the 60 foot long 20,000 gallon aquarium
