Iconic Attraction Currently Closed and will Reopen Late this Year |
The Mirage volcano, an
icon of Las
Vegas since the hotel’s opening in 1989, is undergoing a
major renovation. The project began this
month and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Wet Design, the
company responsible for The Fountains of Bellagio, is leading the design
team.
The Mirage volcano is
one of the most photographed features in Las Vegas.
With its burst of fire and erupting ‘lava’, the volcano established
itself as a must-see attraction even before The Mirage officially opened on
November 22, 1989. News coverage at the
time showed tourists stopping their cars on Las Vegas Boulevard to watch during the
initial testing of the volcano.
The current volcano is
actually an enhanced version of the original.
In 1996, new water, fire, sound and lighting effects were added.
Details of the new
volcano design will be released at a later date.
