LETTER: The Mirage deserved better
The July 21 commentary by William Choslovsky about closing The Mirage was spot on. My wife worked there 29 years and said it remains a gem. She now works at a much newer, bigger casino that she says isn’t nearly as nice or sturdy as The Mirage. I spent my life working in hotels and few can hold a candle to The Mirage.
Considering that an Indian tribe — the Seminole Tribe of Florida — now owns The Mirage, you’d think they’d understand the importance of continuity and tradition better than most. Desecration and destruction are something they have suffered, not inflicted.
In a Vegas world of copycats, The Mirage was one of a kind. Truly a shame to close a gem.
