The Mirage in Las Vegas is closing. So why is everyone rushing to hit the slots?

The Mirage Casino in Las Vegas is set to close next Wednesday, but before it does, it must distribute $1.6 million in unclaimed jackpots due to Nevada law. Slot machines will distribute winnings over several days, while table games will give out a set amount. The Mirage, which opened in 1989, will reopen as the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in 2027. The speaker shares personal memories of the Mirage, reflecting on its closure.
