The Volcano

I don’t know what I was expecting but I was bored. It is really neat but just boring… maybe I enjoyed the freaks walking around more than the volcano show. It was definitely worth my time to see this once but I wont be stopping to see it again.

Who’d think I’d be reviewing a volcano? Well, you can if you’re in Las Vegas!
The show is brief, but it’s definitely a unique spectacle with plenty of good viewing locations. It’s certainly worth checking out once. The kids who were watching seemed to really be in awe.
It seems quintessential to Vegas — a bit over the top but still entertaining.

I haven’t seen this show for quite a while until recently. The firework is spectacular. The kids were thoroughly impressed. Love it when the heat from the explosion hits you. Definitely a must-​see if you have not seen it before.

Free attraction! What more can I say? After losing all your money at the casino, the reason way to continue enjoying your stay in Vegas is the free attractions! The show starts after sunset when it gets dark. Although during day time, the Volcano offers a great photo op. When the show starts, the volcano slowly erupt. But as the show continues, bigger eruptions. So big, you can feel the heat from it. It’s a nice show. But I think kids enjoy it more than adults. It wasn’t a total big excitement for me but still a nice free attraction. There is only so much a person can do to make volcano exciting.

Loved he free volcano show! Happened to stumble upon it while walking down the strip.
It goes off at 7 and 8pm weekdays. Really
Fun to see. We could feel the warmth from the fire from across the street!

Man this free show was worth the wait, small crowd which I loved so we had a great view. I think am easily pleased. lol

Who doesn’t like a free show? This volcano show is located between Flamingo & Spring Mountain Road, directly in front of the Mirage! The volcano itself I believe has two separate systems that shoot the fire in the air up to 12 feet! You can catch the show nightly 8PM and 9 PM. I want to say that on the weekend they have an extended show. Come check it out! If you are traveling with children this is definitely something cool to bring them to see!

It’s definitely a must see spectacle while you’re visiting Las Vegas. Gets a little too crowded, so get there early! The volcano erupts nightly at 7PM and 8PM, plus 9PM on Friday and Saturday, so you have only a few chances to see it.
The middle area is the best place to see it, you really feel the heat and the warmth from the volcano when the fireballs erupt. As a little trivia, I have heard that they removed the mercaptan odor from natural gas and added a piña colada incense.
The projection mapping was so so.

Cool volcano explosion! Not sure why Unilocal has a $ beside it, but it’s a free public attraction outside of the Mirage casino/​hotel. It only runs at night though, which makes sense because the temperatures are a bit cooler at night.
It gets pretty warm during the actual volcano «explosions» so be careful if you’re standing really close to it. Also people tend to cluster around the railings, so be mindful of your belongings and children. Personally, I struggled with taking nice pictures of it, since it was mixture of being careful with my phone/​camera and also the sudden brightness contrast.
Well worth a visit one night!

I can’t believe I’m writing a review for a volcano. So guess what I’m not going to go into great detail but it’s a big iconic part of the Las Vegas strip and it’s pretty cool. I actually liked theold one better but this one is cool, especially if you are from out of town and see it for the first time. I’m not sure that I would drive out of my way and come and see this volcano but if you’re in the valley parking area and it’s five to wrap it’s kind of fun to watch,

BOOOM!
This is awesome! The pyro in me loved watching the giant flames shoot out of the volcano, synced to Hawaiian tribal music. This is a really cool show on The Strip, and the best part– it’s FREE!
Seriously, you can feel the heat all the way from the street on this one. Giant balls of fire come erupting out of the volcano, while water shoots out and makes an incredible display. I enjoyed the smaller flames that come belching out of the pond in front, leaping rhythmically to the beat of the tribal drum.
It only happens a few times a night, so be sure to check the schedule, or just look for a bunch of people congregating out on the street.
The show itself only lasts about ten minutes, but it’s completely worth it!
I would recommend going across the street to the Walgreens and picking up a few ice cold beers to watch it. Just make sure you brought a koozie, because those flames are hot, hot hot, and it might just warm up your beer if you’re standing too close.
We also got to see the volcano from above, in our room in the Mirage. It wasn’t as impressive from above, as you can see the mechanics of how the thing works.

This wasn’t a bad show at all because it was free! It’s pretty amazing to see the volcano show. We went to the 8pm one on Monday.
We got there around 730 bc we wanted to be right up front. The wait wasn’t too bad, it’s definitely always interesting to people watch. The closer it got to 8pm, it started to get crowded. We got there early so we wouldn’t have to deal with that but I guess people don’t care. Definitely trying to squeeze in, which got annoying.
The volcano show lasted a little over 5 mins. But in our opinion, it’s definitely worth checking out. Can’t beat free entertainment,

OMG it’s a volcano!!! It’s ERUPTING!!! Everybody just stand and look.
One of the cool things to check out in Las Vegas is the Volcano show at The Mirage. It’s about a 5 minute show featuring smoke, spewing fire, gas, water, and tropical music. Like a volcano, I didn’t know what to expect. I did expect a very entertaining show and that’s what I got.
Shows are at 8 PM and 9 PM everyday and extra show at 10 PM on weekends. Weather permitting of course.
Definitely arrive early to get a good spot.
Definitely one of those attractions you must put down on the list to see.
Very convenient for me because my hotel was across the street from it.

We stayed at The Mirage this week and loved the volcano. We watched it as many times as we could. The crickets are a nice touch.

This is an entertaining show for being a free attraction. I probably wouldn’t hike it from the other end of the Strip just for this, but definitely worth stopping if you are on this end of the Strip. Definitely include it if you are interested in free activities though.

This is another free show that they have in front of the Mirage hotel. We were standing close (but not too close) and you can definitely feel the heat from the fire. It was a nice show to stop by and watch for several minutes. You can see lava flowing out of the volcano and explode in the air. It’s awesome to watch and you should definitely stop by at night if you have a chance.

This is one of the great — and free — shows left on the strip… like OUT ON THE STRIP. While most hotel/casino’s are replacing their strip-​view shows with multi-​leveled expensive stores (how many do we need already?!), The Mirage’s Volcano is a great 5 – 6 minute show with plenty of fire, eruptions, and awesome music to get you into the experience.
Even though the website says that shows start at 7PM, seasonally they change so sometimes they don’t start until 8PM.
I took a video of the show. Check it out here:

Very cool Volcano!
We were on our way walking to Walgreens at night, and across the street, on the way back we could actually see the Volcano in action! FREE and exciting …

Before the fountains of the Bellagio the Volcano in front of the Mirage was a big thing in Vegas. I mean… who would have though people would crowd around and take photos of a volcano spewing fire and water. The again who would have thought people like me would have found joy in taking photos of food (I’m such a nerd!) Volcanoes do have a certain mystique to them. Maybe it’s the fact that an eruption is unplanned and unexpected. Maybe it’s a metaphor for some people’s moods in life.
I had come down here and forgot my phone in my hotel room so sorry no photos this time.
The Volcano to me is what describes Vegas well. It’s a city of fire and water! Don’t get burned or get wet! Enjoy the show Madams et Messieurs!

This show is fun to watch in the night, whenever it’s on.
Keep watching and you will see the fog, lights, water «eruptions», and of course, FIRE. If you’re close to the front, you will feel the intense heat of the fire, and it’s going to feel really good if that night is cold.
Try to arrive early as the viewing area gets crowded.
Well, enjoy the free show!
