In a plot twist nobody saw coming (except, you know, everyone), a Las Vegas casino is about to shower its patrons with $1.6 million in prizes before it shuts its doors forever. Why, you ask? Because Nevada law says so, that’s why.
The Mirage, that glitzy gem on the Vegas Strip, will close on July 17 after an impressive run of over three decades. But before it bids farewell, it has to give away some serious cash in unclaimed progressive jackpots from slot machines and games. Yes, folks, dreams do come true—but only if the law insists on it.
So, if you’ve been planning to strike it rich in Vegas, now’s your chance! The Mirage will be tossing out $1.6 million in prizes from July 9 to July 16 like it’s going out of style. And hey, it kind of is.
The Schedule of Dreams (or Last-Minute Desperation):
- Tuesday to Thursday: $200,000 in guaranteed winnings each day.
- Friday and Saturday: Bumping it up to $250,000 (because why not?).
- Final Countdown (July 16): A humble $100,000.
Progressive jackpots must be paid out, so there’s $1.2 million up for grabs from the slots and another $400,000 in table game jackpots. Yes, you read that right. The casino must empty its coffers, and you might as well be the one to take a piece.
For those already packing their bags, more info about the cash giveaways and game rules can be found on the casino’s website. Happy hunting!
And just when you thought the party was over, the Mirage will rise from its ashes as the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, set to open in 2027. So, mark your calendars and stay tuned for more ways to part with your hard-earned cash.
