The Mirage hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip will close its doors on July 17, but only after lucky gamblers won $1.6 million in unclaimed progressive jackpots. The iconic property opened in 1989 as the Strip’s first megaresort and must distribute nearly $1.2 million from progressive slot machines and $400,000 from progressive table games before shutting down. Nevada law requires these funds, primarily comprised of gamblers’ losses, to be paid out since Hard Rock, the Mirage’s owner, has no other affiliated casinos in the state.
