The Mirage volcano nightly 'eruption'

The Mirage Hotel & Casino operates a man-made volcano that stages scripted fire-and-water eruption shows several times each evening in front of the resort. The attraction has been a visible Strip spectacle since The Mirage opened in 1989 and is commonly referenced in local humor about Las Vegas providing theatrical versions of natural wonders. The show is produced on a timed schedule rather than being a natural geologic event.
