Mirage Las Vegas

I have stayed at Mirage four times in the last several years. The layout is very orderly and easy to navigate. Check-in is very easy, and I have been shown my room within about 10 minutes of arriving on each occassion. Standard guest rooms have been renovated yet again, and are well appointed. Guest bathrooms are quite small, which is a minor annoyance. Restaurants are good but nothing exceptional. A top quality French restaurant would be a nice addition. Service in the restaurants is very good except at Kokomos. Cocktail service on the floor is a bit spotty. The pool area is beautiful although it gets very, very, crowded. Splurge on a cabana for some peace and quiet. Room rates are quite reasonable compared to its heyday. My first choice among mid-priced hotels.

Pros: Constantly upgrading facilities, easy to navigate property
Cons: No real first-class restaurant, crowded pool area, small guest bathrooms

I have stayed at the Mirage twice now, once in a 1 bedroom tower suite, and once in a 2 bedroom tower suite. I have to admit, when I first walked into my room, I was a little hesitant. The decor is a little bit outdated as I'm sure you've heard. HOWEver, within an hour of being in the hotel, I didn't want to ever leave (and it wasn't the alcohol talking). Not to mention that they are remodeling all of the rooms, correcting the only downfall of the hotel. The service is impeccable. You can ask for anything, anytime, and you will be accomodated. We had a little plumbing issue in the shower (which was actually my fault), and received a free night for our troubles, which would have cost around $500. The sheets have to be around 800 thread count, and the maids were amazing. Being in Vegas makes even the neatest of people slobs after a night of gambling and drinking. Every time we would come back to our room,it would be spotless. The bathroom is huge, big glass shower, jacuzzi tub, not to mention the private bidet and toilet. They are in separate rooms so u can be in the bathroom while someone else is in the shower. Well stocked fridge, bar, great sound system, pop up t.v., and the Mirage is probably one of the cheapest of the upscale hotels. Their prices are very reasonable in comparison. Anyway, the moral of the story is STAY AT THE MIRAGE! You will not be sorry. If you do, you HAVE to check out the Cirque LOVE show, Beatles fan or not. One of the most inspiring uplifting shows you'll ever see. Absolutely great, and I have pretty high standards. The dealers were all very friendly, people at the tables were friendly, it truly was just a great experience. The New York deli was delicious, California Pizza Kitchen is delicious. The views are great if you ask for a strip view room. The only thing I regretted was leaving when I did...Leo DiCaprio was at the pool the next day!!!!!!! Sigh....I can't wait to go back! ENJOY!!!

got bumped to junior suite, which was nice. it is hard to find anyone who smiles. two old guys got in a fight over smoking at a blackjack table. spa massage was good. Cravings buffet was big if uninspired.
