The FireShooters TM will punctuate the performances with eruptions of fiery "lava" that will flow down the mountain's fissures in a series of lively flames. WET's choreographed FireShooters TM - which send massive fireballs more than 12 feet into the air - were designed specifically for The Mirage using the latest developments in flame-expression technology. Tasked with bringing the latest innovations to the project, WET will forge a primal volcanic environment of sound, light, music and heat. The result, a true union of the senses, will rattle your bones, just like a real volcano." "Zakir and I immersed ourselves in the legends and myths and studied what really makes a volcano work. "To put percussive sound to the image of fire and have it dance around a lagoon is something I've never done I've never birthed a volcano," said Hart. Raising the bar once again, The Mirage has enlisted the Grammy Award-winning talents of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician Mickey Hart and Indian musical virtuoso Zakir Hussain to create and perform a one-of-a-kind soundtrack arranged exclusively for the iconic blast. The Mirage set a new standard for innovative Strip-front attractions when The Volcano first erupted in 1989. The top-to-bottom overhaul is the final step in the property's ongoing transformation and is scheduled for completion late 2008. The show lasts for about 5 minutes from the beginning of each hour and ends after that until the next hour. Instead, it fires up on the hour at 7 pm, 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm, and 11 pm. The show does not last the entire time from 7 pm to 11 pm. Known the world over for its iconic Strip-front feature, The Mirage has joined forces with legendary Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart, Indian tabla sensation Zakir Hussain and Fountains of Bellagio design firm WET, to create an all-new audio/visual spectacle. The Mirage Volcano Show Times are scheduled from Monday to Sunday from 7 pm to 11 pm every night. Looks like WET Design was involved again, and it uses a Meyer sound system ( press release from the Mirage).

The eruption is choreographed to a musical piece by the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart along with Indian composer Zakir Hussain.

The show leverages 150 “fireshooters” located both on the volcano and in the lagoon below to create the eruption, culminating in a 60-foot tall firey eruption that can only be described as powerful. The Volcano at The Mirage is igniting the Las Vegas Strip by combining fire with music and choreography - beautiful and thrilling at the same time.

The current volcano production was designed by Water Entertainment Technologies (or WET), the same folks that brought you the free fountain show a few doors down at Bellagio. Initially dreamed up by Steve Wynn and built into the Mirage resort which opened in 1989, the show has been redesigned several times over the years. Guests are blown away by the heat and noise that radiate from the choreographed eruption which offers multiple show times nightly. A free Las Vegas show which has no business being free, Mirage’s volcano is one of the most popular attractions on the Strip.
