I can't get *any* address listed for the Mirage to work at the Clark
County Assessors web site --however I found that you can enter MIRAGE
on the "owner" page below and get results:

This did not work for the Luxor (or Luxor Pyramid), but it did for
Bellagio. What is now the Mirage is several smaller parcels combined.

MIRAGE HISTORY (PROPERTY)
===============================================================================
History of The Mirage (property)
http://www.a2zlasvegas.com/hotels/history/h-mirage.html
..."The Mirage's signboard is 160 feet tall. Although the sign is not
the tallest sign on the Strip, it is certainly the best situated. At
the top of the The Mirage sign is a preprinted fabric panel featuring
the headliners, Siegfried and Roy. Below it is a 16-color matrix sign
which performs like a big-screen television to display its
attractions. In it, a field of primary-colored light bulbs can be
controlled by a computer program to mix and flash, thereby creating
movement and different colors.
The Polynesian theme of The Mirage has been concentrated into a
compact volcanic island, sitting in a roadside lagoon, surrounded by
palms, ferns, and waterfalls. Every 15 minutes after dark, the volcano
erupts in a geyser of steam tinted with red lights 100 feet above the
water. Gas jets in the lagoon spread flames across the water's
surface.
The front entrance is filled with a lush and verdant indoor antrum
filled with palm trees that reach 60 feet above waterfalls and pools
which meander through a forest of rich tropical flora including banana
trees, elephant ears and tropical orchids.
In the registration lobby there is a 20,000 gallon salt water coral
reef aquarium stocked with sharks, pufferfish and angelfish swimming
between the buildings of a sunken undersea city.
The guest rooms contain imported Spanish and Indonesian marble in the
entryways of the rooms and in the flooring, bathtubs and counter tops
of the bathrooms. The artwork including florals, landscapes and
still-lifes enhances the residential quality and elegance of the
decor. The Mirage was designed to give every room a view of either the
pool, the mountain or the Strip. The Mirage also contains six opulent
lanai bungalows, each with its own private garden and pool as well as
a collection of eight extraordinary two and three bedroom private
residences..."
