You are correct, my mistake! Now that I think about the article that I read ( a long time ago, like 13 years ago). He had special permission as long as their was no other casino in the world named the Mirage.

However, in the early 90's a casino opened up in a casino opened up in Alma-Ata Kazakhstan called "The Mirage". I have chips and tokens from there. But I don't know if a casino 11,000+ miles away would have any effect of the original ruling from Nevada.
