 A Las Vegas landmark will close next Wednesday, but before then, the law says it has to give away a fortune. Over the next week, the Mirage will hand out $1.6 million in prizes, all from progressive jackpots that inch higher every time a game is played but the grand prize isn't won. State law requires they be paid out before the casino can close, so consider it the parting gift from a resort that stood on the strip for 30 years. Wow. Got to be scratching and clawing your way to get in there for a seat, right? Jam-packed. Wow. Yeah.
