The Volcano at The Mirage is an artificial volcano that erupts nightly, combining fire, water, and music to create a captivating spectacle.
The soundtrack for The Volcano's eruptions was composed by the legendary Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and Indian tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain.
The Volcano's lagoon holds approximately 119,000 gallons of water, which helps create the dramatic steam effects during eruptions.
The Volcano uses a series of fire shooters that can shoot flames up to 12 feet into the air, synchronized with the music and water effects.
The Volcano at The Mirage first erupted in 1989 and has since become a staple attraction on the Las Vegas Strip.
The Volcano's fire effects are fueled by natural gas, which is a cleaner-burning alternative to other fossil fuels, minimizing its environmental footprint.
The Volcano erupts multiple times each evening, typically every hour from dusk until 11 PM, offering plenty of opportunities to catch the show.
