As guests and visitors said their goodbyes to The Mirage casino-hotel on Monday morning, the shared sentiment seemed to be one of gratitude and appreciation.

There was also the requisite amount of sorrow for the loss of something so familiar to so many.

Sunday night was the last time anyone would ever stay at the iconic Mirage, and as people checked out of the hotel, there were mixed emotions.

Chika McTier, a Las Vegas resident who grew up in Minnesota, was one of the lucky guests who spent the night in style. McTier was upgraded to a penthouse suite on Sunday, a fitting way to make one last memory.
