When it was opened, The Mirage was the world’s largest hotel. The Mirage Las Vegas opened its doors to guests on November 22, 1989. The distinctive gold windows of the hotel get their beautiful color from real gold dust that was used in the tinting process. This project went over budget, becoming history’s most expensive hotel-casino with a 630-million dollar construction cost. It was the first ever resort built with Wall Street money using junk bonds. Financier Michael Milken helped in financing the project by selling 525 million dollars’ worth of mortgage bonds. The resort was proposed with a 565-million dollar initial cost. The original marquee sign located in front of the resort is the world’s largest free-standing marquee. The Mirage Las Vegas was built on the site previously by the Castaways and before this, the Red Rooster Nite Club. It was designed by interior designer Roger Thomas and architect Joel Bergman.

The resort was originally built by Steve Wynn (an art collector and real estate businessman) and is currently owned as well as operated by MGM Resorts International. The Mirage Las Vegas is a Polynesian-themed resort plus casino located on the Strip.
