2 weeks agoBrooklyn Mirage Operator Seeks to Demolish Venue
Avant Gardner has applied to demolish the 32,000-square-foot Mirage temporary venue after failing to secure reopening permits and filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Last summer, the Mirage announced it was closing permanently to make way for the Hard Rock Las Vegas. The Mirage, which opened in 1989, ushered in the era of Vegas "megaresorts"; at the time, it was one of the most expensive and largest hotels ever built anywhere on Earth. Its marquee attraction was a volcano that erupted every 15 minutes.
