CEO Bill Hornbuckle said: “We’re currently in the early stages of a process to sell the operations of the Mirage. Doing so will allow us to maintain our existing Las Vegas exposure while focusing on the complementary in diverse nature of our offerings in our hometown.

“I spent the early part of my career at Mirage, I have been part of that team’s opening at the property in 1989. It’s a historic property with great brand recognition and a strong customer and loyal following.”
