Mirage shutting down for three years, starting July 17, reopening as Hard Rock

[jdog]

They just never integrated their system properly with Mirage.

I know this all too well. In fact I currently have a dispute with Mirage for an erroneous no-show charge. Apparently you can book online but can't cancel, even though the Hard Rock site will verify a cancellation. Got an email regarding the reservation still being active so I called up there and cancelled again. Then during the trip got another email stating I still had a reservation... really?? Two more phone calls, put on hold for 30 mins, ultimately no charge reversal. Idiots.

But yeah whatever they do will eventually be successful simply because the location is prime. I'm just saying the costs will be outrageous... maybe what 3-5B, probably more?? 3 years losing money on overhead, and if the economy goes further into the sh!tter, then another eyesore in the middle of the strip for several years. But I get it, why not go all in on such a prime spot? I don't share Rob's sentiments for the casino floor, it feels small and dated compared to modern high end properties. I will miss the Snacks bacon cheeseburger though... one of the best burgers on the strip.

BTW I was wondering about somepin over there in Oregon, or Washington state, where the weather is pretty bad year round. V, do you have a gardener?

No, my wife and I enjoy doing the work ourselves.

We live in a home that was originally landscaped by a professional designer : I still have the blue prints.

Lots of tasks to keep on top of, including maintaining a waterfall / pond, but it's good exercise and as I am retired I can devote the necessary time to it, and right now it really looks beautiful.

Almost all the homeowners on our street use lawn service folks to maintain their property, and I see them mowing in the rain, so long as it isn't a real downpour.

As for only CBD on the strip: huh?

Why no THC?

Rain or shine gardeners, eh?

The laws in Vegas do not allow dispensaries on the Strip. Nearby, but not on it.

Call the VIP room and they will likely take care of it for you. They're nice over there.

Basically the expectation regarding service you'll get when calling Mirage is this:

VIP room: Great, courteous, lots of leeway for the customer

Local front desk: Decent, though it depends who you get

National call center in Florida: Horrible, rigid, rude


VIP room phone # is (702) 791-7422. I think they're open from 9am-6pm PDT nowadays.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
