T
he Mirage will reopen Aug. 27 , according to a news release issued last friday by MGM Resorts International.
The Strip resort has been closed since mid-March when Gov. Steve Sisolak ordered all nonessential businesses shut down to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. Casinos were allowed to start reopening on June 4.
“As we have slowly and thoughtfully reintroduced our properties across the country, we have placed the health and safety of our guests and employees first at all times,” said Bill Hornbuckle, MGM Resorts’ CEO and President. “Reopening The Mirage allows us to bring many more of our employees back to work, which is critical in the recovery of our community.”
