The company intends to rebrand the resort as Hard Rock Las Vegas. Hard Rock International took over operations in December 2022, becoming the first tribal gaming operator on the Strip. Wynn departed the property in 2000, when his company was acquired by MGM Grand.

Cirque du Soleil would return to the property in 2006, with the debut of Love, a show featuring music by the Beatles. The resort also hosted Cirque du Soleil's first Las Vegas show, Nouvelle Expérience, which opened in 1992. In 1990, the Mirage debuted a magic show by Siegfried & Roy, who performed there for nearly 14 years. Its primary attraction is an artificial volcano that erupts nightly, providing free entertainment in front of the resort. The Mirage opened with several non-traditional attractions for a Las Vegas casino, including animal habitats for dolphins and tigers, and an indoor tropical forest display. The Mirage was the first megaresort to open on the Las Vegas Strip, and its success prompted a building boom in the 1990s for other large resorts along the Strip. It was also among the world's largest hotels. It was the world's most expensive resort, completed at a cost of $630 million. The resort opened on November 22, 1989, after two years of construction. A hotel-casino, the Castaways, occupied a portion of the property and was demolished to make way for the Mirage. Golden Nugget, Inc., led by developer Steve Wynn, purchased the future land of the Mirage in 1986. Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat
