As the Mirage Hotel and Casino begins preparing for its closure on July 17th, the casino is wrapping up its $1.6 million week-long giveaway.
A Nevada gaming policy, enabled gave casino players the opportunity to get some cash from a $1.6 million mandatory payout from the casino.
Gamers had the chance to play slots or table games to win prizes during the “Progressive Finale Cash Giveaway,” which started July 9 and promised to payout over $1.6 million in cash. Visitors had the chance to win $1.2 million in slot machine prizes and $400,000 at table games, the casino said.

Players interested in trying their hand at slots could play the game with their free Hard Rock Unity Card, which is inserted for each drawing to be eligible to win. Drawings were held hourly in the afternoons earlier this month and again on Tuesday. The final $100,000 was expected to be dispersed Tuesday, according to the casino.
Why is the Mirage closing?
After more than three decades of business, the Mirage Hotel and Casino announced in May it would be shutting its doors.
The hotel's announcement was posted on its Facebook page on May 15. However, the hotel's post revealed that this is not the end of the road for its entertainment.
The business announced the resort will reopen in 2027 as Hard Rock Las Vegas.
"We look forward to the beginning of an exciting journey into a new era as Hard Rock Las Vegas will ignite the Strip with entertainment, innovation and world-class hospitality,” the post read.
