Mirage Volcano Re-Opens With a Hunka, Hunka Burning Lava
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008The iconic Mirage Volcano made it’s newly-renovated debut on The Strip in Las Vegas last night. Under construction since February of this year, the $25 million face-lift caps a recent $110 million room and suite redesign to The Mirage’s 2,765 Deluxe and Tower Deluxe accommodations.
The new volcano show features a musical score by Mickey Hart of Grateful Dead fame and Indian impresario Zakir Hussain and comes from the acclaimed design firm WET, creators of The Bellagio lake show. Fireballs and the aptyly-named Fireshooters explode into the air and send fiery waves of burning lava across the Strip-front lagoon during the four-and-a-half-minute blazing spectacle.
