The Mirage opened in 1989 with several non-traditional attractions for a Las Vegas casino, including animal habitats for dolphins and tigers, and an indoor tropical forest display.

The mirage primary attraction is an artificial volcano that erupts nightly, providing free entertainment in front of the resort.

Since its opening, the hotel has featured a $1.2 million aquarium tank, built behind the check-in stand. The aquarium was conceived by Conversano to distract guests and relax them while waiting to check in. It contains hundreds of fish, and is a popular attraction.

The resort hosted Cirque du Soleil's first Las Vegas show, "New Experience", which opened in 1992. Cirque du Soleil returned to the property in 2006, with the debut of "Love", a show featuring the Beatles music that is still playing at the Mirage.

The property will receive a complete renovation and expansion which will include a new guitar-shaped hotel tower, taking the place of the volcano attraction. The rebranding project is expected to begin in 2024, with completion within two years.
