Mandalay Bay and the Mirage Prepare to Temporarily Close Hotel Rooms Midweek

Ahead of possible new restrictions to be implemented by Gov. Steve Sisolak “in the near future,” MGM Resorts announced it will temporarily close the hotel sections of two more Strip venues, but with the hope the closures will not remain in effect “past December.”

Starting November 30, the Mirage and Mandalay Bay will accept no more reservations for Monday to Thursday stays, joining Park MGM and the Encore Las Vegas in shortening hours due to decreased demand.

When the off-Strip Rio resort returns before the end of the year, Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg has already warned the venue will only be accepting hotel guests four nights a week.

MGM Resorts assures visitors the casino floors, restaurants, and “other amenities remain open at properties throughout the week,” including the Share Reef Aquarium exhibit. Traditionally a slow month for tourism, Mandalay Bay’s sibling venture, the all-suite Delano Las Vegas, remains open seven days a week.
