The Neon Museum is hosting "Reflections of The Mirage: A Conversation with Steve Wynn," a deep dive into the 1987 to 1992 window that birthed the property. Aaron Berger, CEO of the museum, frames the event as a study of a project that fundamentally altered the city's trajectory. Wynn will recount the hurdles of financing and constructing a Polynesian-themed oasis that challenged existing economic models.
The discussion arrives as the Mirage site undergoes its own metamorphosis into the future Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Closing its doors in 2024, the Mirage left behind a legacy of innovation, from the long-running Siegfried & Roy white tiger show to the debut of Cirque du Soleil’s early productions. The Neon Museum has already begun preserving that history, having added the iconic Volcano FireShooter and pieces from the Secret Garden to its permanent collection.
