Скачать или смотреть The Iconic Mirage Volcano. One Last Time.

I am truly devastated by the closure of the Mirage in Las Vegas. It was the home of Beatles Love. My wife and I made a point to see the show almost every time we went to Las Vegas (multiple times). We always made sure to time the show right so that when we came out, it would be around the time The Volcano was ready to erupt.
