First Eruption: The New Mirage Volcano
December 9, 2008
The Mirage Volcano has been shut down for the better part of the year to be “upgraded”, and the new volcano show finally debuted today December 8, 2008 at 5pm.

It was a little different. Not dramatically so, but the added flame dancing in the midst of the water and the island drum beats were a nice touch.
I would consider this a “must see” on your next trip to Vegas.
Media from all over the country was there to capture the “new” show, and of course, I was there as well and recorded the show from beginning to end.
I doubt you want to hear my thoughts on the volcano show as much as you just want to see it for yourself and draw your own conclusions, so without further delay, I present to you, the brand new Volcano Show at the Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Damn, that is pretty impressive. Its interesting how much the skin of the volcano they changed. No more is the smooth water flowing over the face, uninterrupted. I wonder how much this thing cost each go around. Also in the past they advertised the volcano every hour and half hour I think, but in fact, many times it ran ever 15 min or so. I wonder if they will stick to this only ever hour thing.

Proof positive the cost of natural gas is still pretty low.
