The Mirage has had quite a good run, and a bad R.U.N. but more on that later. Let’s just say it didn’t last long. Today as we lead up to the closing of the Mirage this Wednesday July 17th, 2024, we’re looking back on the stage productions at the Mirage Las Vegas. And one that terrified audiences long before R.U.N.
Siegfried & Roy at The Mirage (1990-2003)
Siegfried & Roy was one of the most popular productions at the Mirage and of Las Vegas as a whole during it’s Time. The show brought a blend of magic and exotic animals to The Mirage, captivating audiences from 1990 until 2003.
