As the Mirage Hotel & Casino prepares to officially close its doors on July 17th, the legendary Las Vegas casino must meet a requirement that’s sure to leave casino players with big smiles on their faces. Thanks to a Nevada gaming policy, the Mirage is hosting a “Progressive Finale Cash Giveaway,” as the law requires the casino to payout over $1.6 million in cash before it leaves the Strip.
Since Tuesday, many individuals have made their way to the Mirage to test their luck at table games and slots. According to the casino, the “Progressive Finale Cash Giveaway” is a promotion that is a parting gift to its loyal customers and a requirement by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, which says casinos must create a plan to payout their jackpot before closing their doors. The law is in place to prevent guests from claiming they did not receive their earnings due to the closure.
$1.2 million was allocated to slot machines and $400,000 to table games. From July 9-13 and the 16th, guests can use their free Hard Rock Unity Card to participate in drawings from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. To become eligible, players must be at least 21 years old and insert their Unity Card into each drawing. Each hour, one winner is selected and must identify themselves within five minutes, or another player is chosen. However, players can win multiple cash prizes.
As the closing of the Mirage has marked the end of an era for Las Vegas, let us not forget the history and the legacy the casino and hotel have created. See what social media users are saying below:
Visited The Mirage for the final time before it closes. They’re doing a promo with progressive jackpots, so all slots have people camping out at them for hours. No chance at gambling 1-7 pm.
That said, it was great visiting one final time. Mirage will absolutely be missed. pic.twitter.com/ymdkvRghX4

The Mirage is giving away 200k a day in hot seat drawings 3-7pm. It’s all the progressive money that has to be given away. I arrived at 1:30pm to check it out. It was basically New Years Eve x 5 foot traffic. No seats anywhere. I know so many high level players that were called… pic.twitter.com/Zqskv7JxlI

#mirage going out dirty. More than half the slots are closed. Big promo saying they are giving out all their progressive money but you can tell they mailed it in. Change machines are hit or miss on working or not. Not looking good on the way out.

Why wouldn't the @TheMirageLV give me some of that cash if they are trying to give it away? Besides, I wish I could've spent one night before saying goodbye to the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas. I've only been to Las Vegas in 2008 at age 18 during Spring Break, wasn't the best.

Everyone is mad. People have loaded money on the machines and are just sitting. People are angry, security is angry, officials look completely done, metro police are just walking and watching. This is plan dumb. Good news the first winner has claimed their prize 🥴 #mirage
