The beloved, but not-long-for-this-world, volcano show at Mirage is down until Dec. 8, 2023.<\/p>\n

Blame it on F1.<\/p>\n

At this point, we blame everything on F1.<\/p>\n

\"Mirage
Thanks to F1, Las Vegas visitors are SOL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s right. The ongoing F1 cluster now includes taking the volcano offline, when time is already short for this cheesy Strip spectacle enjoyed by millions around the world.<\/p>\n

If it sounds like we’re trying to have our cake (“It’s time for the volcano to go!”) and eat it, too (“Our volcano is closed!”), you’re right. We love cake.<\/p>\n

Look, we love the volcano like everyone else. We just aren’t crying about its looming demise like many people.<\/p>\n

It’s not like Mirage (now owned by the Seminoles) is just taking away the volcano show. They’re replacing it with something kick-ass! Specifically, a massive guitar hotel tower that has dancing lights and laser beams and whatnot.<\/p>\n

Volcanos are child’s play next to this bad boy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We do feel terrible for tourists having their experiences shat upon by F1, and the Mirage volcano isn’t the worst of it.<\/p>\n

The sidewalk in front of the Bellagio fountains is closed to make way for grandstands. Imagine visiting Las Vegas from some foreign land for a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, only to find out the iconic fountains are blocked by seats for a three-day car race.<\/p>\n
