The Mirage reopened its doors on Thursday, 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.

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.

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.

Safety protocols in place include employee screenings, temperature checks, and COVID-19 specific training, along with COVID-19 testing for employees as they return to work.

Employees and guests are required to wear masks. Complimentary masks are provided, to guests, as needed. A physical distancing policy has been implemented, with floor guides serving as reminders. The resort installed plexiglass barriers in places where physical distancing presents challenges. The resort also offers standalone hand-washing stations on the casino floor

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.

The resort also uses electrostatic sprayers to apply disinfectant in large public spaces.

This morning, the resort renamed the street into the Mirage Siegfried & Roy Drive. The magicians and their big cats performed at the resort from 1990-2003. Roy Horn died earlier this year, at the age of 75, due to complications from COVID-19.
