Operators of The Mirage expect to pay about $80 million in severance packages when the resort ceases operations next month, but not every worker’s severance will be calculated the same way.

About 3,350 workers, including 140 Day One employees, will be laid off when the property closes on July 17, Hard Rock International said to state officials when announcing the closure in May.

Culinary Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165 members are expected to be paid $2,000 for every service year worked, union and resort officials said. The union negotiated the terms of the severance during city-wide contract negotiations in 2023. That means some of the longest-serving workers could receive a severance of more than $60,000 if they are under the union contract.
