The Mirage volcano

The Mirage resort’s volcano, located in front of the property on the Strip, has performed nightly fire-and-water shows since the resort opened in 1989. Short video clips of the erupting volcano have been widely shared online and repurposed in viral videos and image compilations about Las Vegas nightlife. The volcano’s dramatic bursts and close-up spectator views make it a frequent subject of social-media posts and short-form video memes.
