The Mirage Volcano show

The Mirage opened in 1989 and introduced the Mirage Volcano, a free outdoor eruption-and-fire show mounted in front of the hotel that runs nightly. The volcano show was part of a late-20th-century move toward spectacle-driven, family-accessible attractions on the Strip and remains a regularly scheduled free attraction for visitors. Its pyrotechnics and synchronized audio-visual programming are a durable example of Las Vegas's public entertainment offerings.
