The Mirage was built on the site formerly occupied by the Castaways & the Red Rooster Nite Club. The hotel's distinctive gold windows get their color from actual gold used in the tinting process.
Opened in 1993, the original plans called for a tower addition to The Mirage, but it later evolved into this separate hotel casino.
Just six months after opening the Flamingo, mobster "Bugsy" Siegel was murdered in Los Angeles, a slaying reportedly ordered by Siegel's mafia bosses to effect a change in management at the Flamingo.
At its opening, the $15 million facility only included a casino. Hotel room towers would not be added until 1973. The famous clown marquee at the entrance was added in 1976.
Originally, the plan was to build the Eiffel Tower to full scale but the airport was too close and the tower had to be shrunk. The scale is approximately 1:2.
The first hotel here was the Tally-Ho in 1963, changing to King's Crown in 1964. In 1966, it became The Aladdin where it was host to Elvis and Priscilla Presley's wedding in 1967.
When it opened on October 15, 1993, the pyramid was the tallest building on the strip and took 2 years to build at a cost of $375 million.
