The infamous Siegfried & Roy statue in front of the Mirage has captivated magician headliners in Las Vegas for years, and intrigued millions of tourists.
Word from official Mirage staff is that the gold-painted piece is expected to be donated to the Neon Museum. Mirage President Joe Lupo says that is the idea, at least, among a thousand other duties as the hotel closes Wednesday. Neon Museum Executive Director Aaron Berger has not confirmed the plans and is not commenting.
