Welcome the Mirage Back to the Strip When It Reopens Later This Month

The Mirage reopens its doors on August 27 with a roster of restaurants, a few lounges, and enhanced safety and health protocols in place. The resort closed on March 17 when Gov. Steve Sisolak ordered all nonessential businesses including casinos to shut down to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Some of the restaurants reopening include Pantry, which plans to be open daily from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak serves dinner Tuesday through Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 5 to 10 p.m.

Osteria Costa returns with Italian fare Monday, Thursday, and Sunday from 5 to 9 p.m. and again from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The Still brings its sports bar fare back Monday through Thursday from 4 to 10 p.m., Friday from 4 p.m. to midnight, Saturday from noon to midnight, and Sunday from noon to 10 p.m.

Otoro, Diablo’s Cantina, Cravings Buffet, Stack, and California Pizza Kitchen remain closed.

Diners can view restaurant menus via cell phone by using QR codes in the company’s food and beverage outlets. Customers also receive a text message notification when their tables are ready.

Once the Mirage reopens, MGM Resorts only has Park MGM and NoMad Hotel left to reopen.

Hotel guests can use contactless check-in through the MGM Resorts App. Guestroom attendants wear masks and gloves while cleaning each room and change gloves in between.
