246 reviews for The Mirage
The new rooms here are awesome!!! The beds are comfy, everything is new and sheik, and the 42 inch plasma mounted to the wall isnt too bad either. The lighting in the room is stellar and there is plenty of space in the room to move around without feeling cramped.
Downstairs behind the front desk has this amazing aquarium full of tropical fish, and if you go down a little further there are some white tigers that are just amazing.
The buffett was just remodeled back in 2007 or 2008 be fairly new, and it is awesome. Everything is nicely sectioned out, they have an awesome salad station, the have pretty much everything you could possibly ask for and more! my suggestion if you are looking for breakfast and lunch, go around 11:30ish cause you can get lunch and some breakfast is still put out =) cause shrimp cocktail and crab legs are good to go anytime! =)

I know this hotel's been here for a good while so I wasn't sure what to expect. First of all, I really like what they did with renovating the rooms here. I especially love the bathroom mirrors; the lighting's pretty intense. There's plenty of room for your luggage and to roam around the room but I do wish that the bathroom was more spacious in comparison to the rest of the room. The mounted plasma TVs are great when you have downtime in your room in between Vegas outings during the day and night. And the generally central location on the strip is great so walking to Caesar's Palace is very do-able.
Upon arrival, my friend plugged in her straightener then the outlet wouldn't work. We called the front desk and a guy came fix it. He was extremely helpful in showing us what we should and shouldn't do in order to avoid the problem again.
I'm not the biggest fan of the Carnegie Deli and JET Nightclub but other than that, I like what they've done with the place (for being an older hotel).
I thought self-parking structure was fairly accessible; the distance from the elevators to the parking garage wasn't too bad, at least in comparison to other hotels like Planet Hollywood or the Venetian. And when leaving The Mirage when driving, being on the side of the strip that's closest to the freeway does help.
The prices are pretty good for what you get and for the location on the strip. It's a great alternative (as well as TI) if you can't shell out the money to stay at the Bellagio, Venetian/Palazzo, or Wynn/Encore. I would want to stay here again if there is a Beatles "Love" promotion.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right?
Ha! Not with me, I LOVE to share my adventures, well some of them at least ;-) Can't reveal ALL the good stuff, however I can tell you that one of the places I like to stay in Vegas is The Mirage. I have a rule, and my one rule I'll ONLY stay on the strip, I like to be in the middle of the action. The Mirage has always been good to me which is why I keep coming back, they always offer me a room upgrade when I come in so I've ended up with suites every time I've stayed here (maybe they think I'm someone I'm not? Whatever it is I'm not complaining) Reality is, I really only paying to store my things and to on occasion sleep for a few hours, other than that, I'm out living it up in Sin City.

Bachelorette Party 2009 = 13 girls, some but not a lot of money saved up, and lots of breaking the diets.
We decided to stay at the Mirage because of the location on the strip, the pool, and the renovated rooms. Couldn't. Be. Happier. The pool, Bare, which is adult (I don't need screaming kids on my weekend of boozing), the rooms, and the proximity to everything else is awesome. And the prices were just right.
I just like the no hassle vibe of this place. It's fun to go to NYNY, Paris, Bellagio, Wynn, to visit, but for me, this is the right place to stay. I will definitely be coming back to the Mirage the next time I come to Vegas. If I ever can muster the energy again.
We wanted to see Love so we decided to make Vegas our last trip of the summer. Probably. I checked The Mirage website and they were offering a package with 2 nights in a deluxe room plus 2 Love tickets at a great rate. Sold.
I don't think I'd been inside The Mirage before and I was expecting something old school. The rooms have recently been remodeled so they look modern and clean. Our bed was super comfortable, the TV was big and the size of the room overall was great. My only suggestion would be to modernize the bathroom more. They had granite counter tops but the shower and some of the detailing in there were from another era, the 80's.
The pool area was nice although the waterfall was harsher than I expected. Since it was in the 90's, I wasn't complaining. We got out there in the mid afternoon and had no problems finding chairs.
We had a good time and aside from housekeeping waking us up every morning before 9am, service was great and I'd have no objection to staying here again, especially if Love tickets are involved.

What can I say? At first I was really skeptical about staying here because I didn't think anything of it from the outside .. but.. I was wrong because our room was up-to-date and really nice!
And, yes, this hotel isn't new but it's in a great location, great price, and really nice/clean rooms so I think it has a 1 up on the other hotels because although some look extremely gorgeous on the outside, they are much more expensive and aren't as clean or nice on the inside (room-wise).
It was my first time staying here and I didn't do anything in here besides gamble.. but from the looks of the pool it's much nicer than some pools at the other hotels! It has a pretty waterfall area..
I was impressed with their service as well as our towels came quickly as did our bellman when delivering and picking up our luggage.
I would recommend this place to anyone coming to vegas!
People sometimes say that this is the best buffet in town... *rude game-show buzzer*... wrong. Not too shabby, but really nothing to write home about. I was totally bugged when we went here during their transition (remodeling) phase and they seated us in a storage room with a makeshift food line and stainless steel spoons provided to use as serving utensils - they were so hot, no one could even hold onto them. I promise, the next time a place like this (upscale buffet) tries to pull something like that, I'm going to demand my money back. I don't like to be disrespected like that. Close down if you're going to compromise class... and safety, too... I burned my freaking fingers!
So coupled with my review of Treasure Island, those of you who have read both know I much prefer TI.
Im not saying there is anything wrong necessarily with the Mirage, it is simply not my taste.
The friends got a penthouse suite for Thursday night. It was a cool layout but the decor was something I would have been disappointed in if I were paying for it myself. I thought the finishes were extremely outdated but I imagine you cannot remodel/update a huge hotel quickly. Beyond the decor though, as I said, the layout of the room was bomb.
The decor of the second room was really cool. It had purple leather like headboards with pink and purple accessories and it was extremely cool. My taste is boringly simple and the clean lines of this room appealed to it greatly. (:
I was really disappointed that the Secret Garden closes so early because I really wanted to see the baby pets. ):
Overall, if I ever were crazy enough to go to Vegas again, I would not pick the Mirage to stay at.

We just returned from a stay at the Mirage. We were on the 8th floor in a standard room. I booked online and did a package deal which involved a $50 credit at the Cravings Buffet (highly recommended) and a $60 credit at the Secret Garden (didn't use it). This package was cheaper than booking the room on its own, so I was stoked.
All of the restaurants at the Mirage are reasonably priced, which was a huge relief. Cravings is well worth it for either breakfast or brunch. We also enjoyed BLT and the Patio Bar. If you want up scale dining, you'll probably need to go somewhere else.
The rooms are nice. They've recently been redone with a very modern look. It came complete with an iHome which I thought that was awesome. The bathroom was small. Very small. So small that you had to close the door to get in the shower. All and all they did a good job with the update but a bigger bathroom would have made the complete package. Loved the TV express check-out option as well.
I don't know if it was just our room but there was an awful odor. I think it might have been some sort of vicious cleaning product. It was the type of smell you get used to but totally uninviting none-the-less.
The pool was beautiful but the loungers are so crammed together, its ridiculous. They literally couldn't fit another in there. And totally BYOB. I paid $9 for a water.
All and all, I'd say the Mirage is a nice mid of the road Las Vegas hotel. It's not the Bellagio or the Venetian but it's a hell of a lot nice than the Luxor or the Stratosphere.

I've stayed at the Mirage many times but not since they remodeled it. Over Labor Day weekend, my parents, husband, and I stayed here to celebrate my birthday and my mom's birthday.
The remodel served the Mirage well. The guest rooms look like the waiting room in a spa. They are comfortable and tranquil. Hubby kept up with his ESPN on the big flat screen tv.
The casino floor is big and there are a variety of games. My mom won $1000 playing slots!! There are also a bunch of new shops and restaurants on the floor like BLT, Sugar Factory, and Rhumbar.
We also spent some time at the pool which, in comparison to other Vegas pools, was quiet and peaceful. There are actually two pools, a small pool, and a larger pool with waterfalls. We sat by the small pool and had a great time. My only complaint is that my mom bought a bloody mary that cost $22.00! Yikes!
I love the Mirage- especially because my mom spends so much money gambling here that we can go back soon, comped!

Stayed here this past labor day weekend. Made reservations way ahead of time and got a great deal for 3 nights at 425 including tax. This weekend didnt see as busy as I thought labor day weekend would be. But I would have to say that this hotel is pretty awesome. The rooms were pretty spacious for two couples to stay in. The beds were comfy, the bathroom was a bit small, but overall a good place stay. We tried BLT Burger, Carnegie Deli and Rhumbar. They were all good choices. Having a Starbucks inside was also very convenient, when we needed that pick me up.
The pool area was awesome! Pretty packed so you have to go early to try to get a chair, but we were lucky that an older couple gave us their seats after we walked around the whole pool area. I dig the water fall, dunking your head underneath that is like those massage shower heads X 10! Too bad we didnt get to check out JET on Sunday, supposedly Fabulous was performing.
Overall I have to say I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and if I ever find another good deal like I did, I will stay here again.

I had a 3 night stay at the Mirage and it was wonderful. The room is well decorated - pretty colors, HUGE Television, and spaced out well. The bathroom was a little small, but no biggie. The bed was amazing, very comfortable and much appreciated after a long day of walking.
The casino is nice, the usual, and not as smokey as others, so that was good. Pool is pretty nice also, love the waterfalls, but get there early since finding a seat at around 9am can be a headache. Or you can wait until right before it closes at 8pm.
Roys Secret Garden was a nice stop - got free tickets to see it, but don't know if would really pay the $15 for admission. Great for kids though I'm sure.

The combination of a recession and a well run hotel can be of great benefit to a traveler with a company credit card. This is a gorgeous hotel and is very well maintained, even in a bad economy. So you take a great, well run hotel, throw in a recession, and subtract the thousands of people usually swarming the tables and restaurants. The result is a great value, only $90 per night, and no lines, for anything.

For an older hotel and casino, The Mirage takes the cake is being one of the best on Las Vegas's main strip. I stayed at the Mirage less then a month after my previous Vegas trip because I was feed up with the outrageous cab fare. The Mirage is the perfect inexpensive spot with class. Furthermore, how can you refuse a perfect package deal, i.e. complimentary four passes to Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and $50 for Cravings Buffet?
The interior of the casino was comforting with gorgeous exotic flowers, waterfalls, and palm trees playing a major theme. Unlike those other casinos, after one full length walk around the Mirage, I felt right at home. It's quite small compared to the Venetian, Caesar Palace, or the Bellagio. However, I like the fact that it doesn't feel like a voyage when I'm heading to the pool or shops.
Speaking of the pool area, its definitely like an oasis; lushes greens surrounding waterfalls.. Amazing, it feels as though I'm vacationing on a desolated island.
The only downside to the Mirage is the small in-room bathroom. It's a single sink, one shower stall, and a very tiny space between the toilet and door. Thankfully, there's an air vent. Best advice- keep that on ALL the time if you're rooming with two guys after they inhaled four pounds worth of shrimp cocktail.
Overall, the Mirage is a great inexpensive / clean place to stay and save on cab fare.

This is a fun and beautiful place on the main strip. Tons to offer and everything for everyone. The rooms are well maintained, there's tons to do just inside the hotel and the staff is nice.
Their concierge service is also always helpful in setting up plans and transportation and everything is always done with class.
If you aren't prepared to flash the cash for The Wynn or The Bellagio (and I don't blame you) The Mirage is the way to go. I would have never stayed here prior to the room upgrades but this is now my regular Vegas hotel.
They have great restaurants (BLT Burger) and a Starbucks on premises. Staff are always friendly enough and there is everything you would expect to be able to have a serious gamble in a major Strip casino.
The real gem here is the Beatles/Cirque Du Soliel show 'Love' - I have seen it twice and it really is the best show I have ever seen period.

The Mirage Hotel is probably one of the nicer hotels I've been in. They have several good restaurants inside, huge casino, nice pool, and most importantly, the rooms here are very nice.
For a busy casino, the check in and check out process was a breeze and the front desk staff was very friendly. When I got to the room, I have to say that I was impressed. It had 2 nice queen beds, a nice desk are for work, and about a 40 inch flat screen TV mounted on the wall. The room also had a nice little wet bar with plenty of drinks (they charge fairly high for this) and plenty of drawer space if staying for an extended period.
The bathroom was nice and clean with the only drawback being that the sink, shower, and toilet were in the same room. I prefer the toilet and shower being in a different room than the sink as one person can be in the shower and the other person can be at the sink and still have some privacy.
The bed here was comfortable. A bit soft for my tastes, but after a long night of partying, you just kind of melt right in when you go to sleep. Plenty of pillows and room service does a decent job in keeping the place clean. We also got a roll-away and have to say it was one of the nicer roll-away I've seen, but they do charge about $30 a night for it. Also on a side note, they do charge you $1 a phone call for all local calls.
I also spent some time in the pool area and have to say that I had a good relaxing time there. The pool itself is pretty big with what I will say 4 areas you can wonder too including 1 large waterfall area that you can walk under and a "rock" area that the water drips down on. If you're looking for slides or wake machines, sorry, they don't have them here. For food and beverage there are plenty of waitresses bringing you drinks and the pool area has its' own Cafe and Full Service Bar. There are a ton of chairs, VIP cabanas, and chairs you can rent, but the place gets packed by 10:00AM, my best advice is if you plan on spending the day at the pool, make sure you reserve your spot first thing in the morning.
On average spent about $175 night. Service and hotel was good and we had a good time crashing here. Would definitely stay again if the price was right and would give the Mirage a 4 Star rating.
Dear Mr. Mirage,
Thank you for providing me with comfy shelter for three nights this past weekend. The fact that you comp'd my room on Thursday and only charged me a measly $55 dollars a night for Friday and Saturday will have me coming back for more visits at your fine, classy establishment.
When we arrived at 12:30 in the morning after our 2 1/2 hour flight delay, we were greeted by a friendly face at the check-in counter and they were able to accommodate our simple request of having my room be right next to my friends.
Our rooms were situated on the 4th floor with a direct view of the Strip. My room was very clean, cozy and newly renovated. The king size bed was calling for me, so I listened and happily obliged. I sank in the comfort of it all and enjoyed catching up on world events on CNN on the nice, big plasma TV as I tried falling asleep at 4:00 in the morning each night I was there...
I love going to Vegas and this was my first time staying at the Mirage. Staying here is great because it's centrally located near all the hot spots I like to check out when I'm in town: Fashion Show Mall (one block up), Venetian & Palazzo (across the street), Cesar's (next door) and everything else is a quick cab ride away that won't dip too much into your play money.
Trust me, I'm no baller, so looking for great deals is something I spend time in researching when I travel. I forgot I signed up for the free Players Club card years ago, so when I called two weeks beforehand to inquire about room rates, I had to ask twice if $55/night was the correct rate for Friday & Saturday. Sure enough, it was!
If you're planning a trip to Vegas, I'd recommend the Mirage. It's a big resort, but not overwhelming where it'd take forever just to walk from the entrance to the guest elevators to your room (which I don't care for at the other monstrous hotels on the Strip). I liked how I was able to walk to most of my destinations, it helped me burn off the grub I feasted on. I wasn't able to check out any of their shows, but I'd love to watch the Cirque du Soleil Love show the next time I'm in town.
We all know the economy is still in a downward slump, but Vegas is doing what they can to attract tourism (which was obviously low based on the emptiness of the casino floors we ventured out to). Rooms here average about $150/night on travel websites, so the dirt-cheap rate I got was awesome. They also have a Starbucks on the ground floor, so that helped me get a jump start on my day (even though my normal tall cup of java cost me $3 bucks instead of the usual $1.60 back home; it's all good since we gotta loosen up the purse strings sometimes!).
Thanks again for the wonderful accommodations Mr. Mirage, I hope to come back soon!
Love,
jojo

This review is only for the gaming floor and not the hotel. The gaming floor is actually quite big with many rows of slot machines (it is actually quite easy to get lost).
I was at the craps table, and I actually did better than I expected. They have a good range of minimum bets too ($10 to $25 on craps table) so The Mirage is a good place to stop if you are in a big group, where there is a wide range of betting thresholds.
Many complain that casino gaming floors are too smoke-filled. From my experience, Bellagio is one of the better ones for clearing out smoke (I think Caesars Palace also isn't bad). In this area, the Mirage was decent as well.
Not a bad hotel.. not bad considering the only time we spent in the hotel was to sleep, shower, and change clothes. Didn't really do too much gambling/clubbing/eating at the hotel at all, so I can't really speak that. Next time I guess..
Our room had a pretty nice view of the strip. We could see the Wynn, Encore, Venetian, etc. from our room. So +1 star for that.
The Bathroom was nice... double sink, stand in shower (water pressure was a little weak) and separate bath tub that I'll have to try the next time around.
Sucks that I didn't get to really walk around and explore the hotel more, but I'll try and do that next time. But from my experience there this time, I'll give The Mirage 3 stars. Might rate it better next time.
BTW.... the peeps that flag the Taxi's for you in valet, yeah - they fuckin BLOW!!!! Yea, almost forgot! F**K those assholes! Those people are very rude and do not understand the meaning of customer service! They can go to hell and Suck It! ...should knock a star off because of those fuckers!

Out of the plethora of hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, The Mirage is one of the better ones because it has one of the best locations on the strip, it's more of a hotel for normal people in their early to mid 20s and I like Jet. I've always had a good time here.
Their rooms were recently remodeled I believe and they are perfect for a group of girls because there's a lot of counter space in the bathroom and mirrors everywhere so you can get ready.
It's a nice hotel without being extremely pricey.
This is a totally do-able hotel. middle of the strip, middle of the road budget, and people of average attractiveness.
the pool had a nice oasis set up (very green with a waterfall and little rafts you can rent) but the chlorine tank exploded in the middle of the afternoon, forcing everyone to evacuate. the unfortunate pool attendees that day were compensated with free entrance to the bellagio and treasure island pools, so i thought the staff handled that debacle pretty well. the next day, we went to Bare instead of the regular pool, which was a good call and something i would recommend to anyone who is looking for a bit more of a party atmosphere.
heres the deal with the music throughout the premises... i think that the mirage was built in the 90s and im pretty sure the soundtrack hasnt changed since. i get the nostalgia / ironic value of listening to rod stewart and "safety dance" but after a while you feel as though you are in a time warp. not a good one.
the rooms are decent, kind of standard for vegas strip rooms, ie "modern" decor and cheesy abstract paintings from target or ikea. on the last night of the trip we upgraded to the penthouse suite which was totally guady and off the hook. 1,600 square feet of gold glitzy decoration and totally useless and showy pieces of furniture, plus a bathroom the size of an average studio apartment. the cost? $400, split between 4 people... not bad.

Just came back from my first stay at the Mirage and it was pretty great. I stayed in a Deluxe room which they just refurbished recently, great strip location and some new restauants. The BLT Burger is good, CPK for a quick bite. Japonais had 7$ drinks and apps from 5-8 pm which was nice (don't miss the Kobe sliders) My only gripe is that there's not much open for late night food.
Gambling is the same, most the table mins were 10-15, but i found that on most the strip all week.
I've heard the beatles Circue du Soleil show is good, the vibe overall is great and its a pretty young crowd at the mirage. The nightclub JET really get hopping on Monday night
I like the dolphin show.
The rooms are beautiful.
The inside of the Casino is awesome.
The sportsbook is nice.
The plants and how green the inside of the hot casino is great !

I just got back from a 3 night stay and I really enjoyed it. The room was clean and stylish, the bed was reallly comfortable too.
The Casino is a nice size with a homey atmosphere, not too smokey, not too big either.
I really liked the layout and look of the pool. It was hard to find seating though, it can get packed around 930am up until 5 or so.
Location was perfect if you enjoy hitting the fashion mall and some other nice casinos like the ventian or wynn, and its a nice manageable walk to bellagio/paris/ceasers.
After I've had te chance to stay in some other marquee casinos I'm sure I'll be back for another time at the Mirage.
This is the first time I've stayed at this hotel. I've actually stayed at most of the surrounding hotels before (The Venetian, Palazzo, Bellagio & Caesar's), and so I can tell you that The Mirage is definitely the best bang for your buck! I heard they recently renovated their rooms and so everything is very contemporary and doesn't look aged at all. The furniture was comfortable and clean. In comparison to the hotels that I've stayed at, the only downfall in their rooms are the bathrooms because they are so tiny! I'm used to a his/her sink, a full shower and bath tub. I know, beggars can't be choosers but we are talking about Vegas here!
I utilized the housekeeping & room services frequently and their normal turnaround time was 45 minutes. Room service food was impeccable! I highly recommend just about anything on the menu. I also went to their pool every day I was in Vegas, and I must admit that this is the reason why I would come back! It's just as entertaining and friendly as any pool party that's being advertised, plus no cover! AND they have plenty of space for large parties.
There really is a lot more to say about this hotel, but if it isn't already obvious, I think it's worth your stay!

I only stayed here once and wasn't actually in the room all that much. Pretty much was downstairs trying to see the shows or out doing something. I came in slept, shower and left didn't really get to "enjoy" the room and see how everything is, which is why it's only a 3 stars since I can't remember anything bad but I can't remember anything spectacular about it.
One thing I did remember was the free buffet though. We were shown a different line which had like 4 people waiting instead of the one with 15-20 people and was let in quickly. The food was alright, better than standard places you find outside but maybe because it's vegas, i left feeling it could've been so much more.
Location matters in Vegas. If you plan on partying at XS, Lavo, Tao, Pure, etc, there is no better location for the money in Vegas. Assuming you're not paying Palazzo, Wynn or Caesars prices, this place is a killer value !
Rooms: The decor was AWFUL. The hallways are a serene black, red, and beige palette. You walk into the room and you're accosted with hot pink and purple. EVERYWHERE. The art, the drapes, the bed, the chair.. all neon pink and purple. Honestly I think it's a sad attempt at making sure people don't stay in their rooms and instead gamble.. Who knows. Either way the designers should be shot. The bathroom sucked. It was built in '89 so I can't really fault them for missing the huge bathroom trend, but wow.. it was tiny. Single sink, no robes, itty bitty bathtub. Definitely not a bathroom 2 people can comfortably get ready in at once! Beds are quite important to me and I actually loved the bed. I slept really well and was super comfy. It is the *cushy* bed type, so if you crave a hard bed, look elsewhere.
The pool was actually really nice. I could almost ignore the strip in the background pretend I was in Hawaii. As a tip - buy the beers at the gift shop right by the pool for $4 and tote them in (or hell, go to Walgreens if you're feeling uber frugal). Make sure to get the Bud bottles that are aluminum, *not* the glass bottles.. you'll stick out! The same bottles go for $7 at the pool.
Overall it's a 3.5 star, but I'm rounding up ! These guys were the first mega-resort in Vegas and I have to give the Mirage props for that. Anytime you can get this place at a significant discount to the luxury properties nearby, it's worth it! This is not a luxury property (imo), but it's great for people looking to spend most nights club hopping and days sitting by the pool. This isn't the kind of place you'd want to lounge around in your room!

I recently went to Vegas for a double whammo! We had to be there for a wedding on Saturday August 15th and that's the same weekend as my Birthday, which was a great relief!
I got a great deal from the Mirage and never had stayed there before. I was a little concern because a few of our friends had told us it was an older hotel. But since it was such a great deal I decided to stick to my guns and stay there for 3 nights.
We checked in on Thursday at 1:00pm and the check in was a breeze. We walked from the Hotel Front Desk through a mini tropical garden to the elevators. It was just breathtaking. The garden was so beautiful and serene. I was hoping by now that when I reached my room I would be happy with that as well. I got to the elevator and got to the floor... The front desk girl gave me a room that was so far from the elevator I thought I needed a day just to hike to it. In any case when I finally stepped in I was pleasantly surprise because:
1. The room had a comtemporary chic look to it. It was just so nice.
2. I quickly realized why she put me in that room, she gave me a view of the pool!
The room is a little bigger than other hotels and the mattress was so comfy I can't complain. After settling in I went to the pool. It was so nice. It was a tropical paradise right in the desert. It's not quite as fabulous as the Mandalay Beach but close enough. It was a huge pool but of course like any Vegas pool in the summer it gets crowded by 10am.
Service is great and is a breeze. Check in and out are awesome no complaints. I'll definitely be staying here again.
Probably one of the more well known hotels on the Strip, Mirage sits somewhat near the middle of the glamorous Las Vegas Strip, connected to Treasure Island and fully equipped with a couple of white tigers and mini man made pond/lake thing in the front. I stayed at Mirage for the first time this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised.
I figured it would be just a typical overrated hotel, but they were pretty accommodating. We were a group of 6 girls packed into one hotel room. First of all, they didn't ask any questions when we requested 3 extra blankets at an ungodly hour in the morning; they sent someone up right away.
We had planned to spend every waking moment of Saturday afternoon poolside, but we found out their pool had exploded or something and was closed down until further notice, so we called front desk and asked where we should go instead. They rerouted us to the MGM pool (it's a sister hotel), saying that they would let us in no problem (usually you have to be a guest of the hotel or pay) and gave us $50 hotel credit for the inconvenience for us to spend on whatever we wanted.
Overall, not too shabby and pretty sweet location. I would go back.

I spent the weekend here (pretty much never left the room) and I have absolutely no complaints. My friend with a penchant for the finer things, made the arrangements for us, so I knew it would be a nice suite, but when we walked in to a 1600 s.f. 2 bedroom penthouse I was floored.
Everything in the suite was positively opulent. The decor was all leather, lovely furniture, lots of lacquer (which I normally hate, but in these surroundings it somehow fit) and luxe upholsteries. The 2 enormous bedrooms were separated by the living area and although my friends little sister and 2 of her rambunctious "wooooo! Vegas!" friends stayed in the second bedroom it was as if they were on another floor of the hotel because our room was a safe distance away and we didn't hear a peep out of them all weekend. I love that the two bedrooms are located with respect for privacy in separate "wings" of the suite.
The curtains were controlled by power switches on the wall, and when opened, revealed a breathtaking glittery view of the strip and volcano. The room came with two mini fridges and a wetbar for us to use.
The bedrooms were beautifully appointed with a very comfortable bed and fluffy down comforter. Turndown service was included each night, and they left behind a fresh flower and chocolates for us to enjoy. The remote control had a button that made the television rise up out of the entertainment center. Being the dork I am, I thought that was extra exciting. The bathrooms were huge with a separate oversized jacuzzi tub and shower stall. The vanity area had two sinks and lots of counter space.The lighting in the vanity area was perfect for make up application. I thought the overstuffed chaise lounge in the dressing area was a nice touch.
Our stay included a $200 food/beverage credit, which we used at Onda Ristorante (awesome!) and the Carnegie Delicatessen (just so-so).
What I was most impressed with, aside from the beauty of the suites decor, would have to be Mirage Security. We had a rowdy group of drunken mortgage brokers gone wild ride up in the elevator with us after checking in. Just our luck, they were staying in a suite on our floor. The first night, post strip club, they decided they were going to stumble over and knock on our door. (At 1:00 a.m.) They invited us to "party" with them. We declined and shut the door. They proceeded to carouse out in the hallway being generally obnoxious. One of them kept knocking on our door. Around 2:30 a.m. we decided we'd had enough and called security. Not 5 minutes later 4 security guys filled the hall and demanded they leave us alone. One of the guys was slurring "ya know how mush I paid for this room? come onnnnn bro... we're just partyin!" The unflappable security replied "Your money is no good here if you don't leave these ladies alone .If you don't like it, I encourage you to find other accommodations" He then said something to the effect of "don't make me come back up here" and all was well for the rest of our stay. I wish we would have gotten his name. He was our hero.
Room service was impeccable. We ordered a few breakfasts and late night snacks and all were delivered to the room quickly and still warm. Upon unpacking my friend found that her contact solution had leaked all over the contents of her luggage. She contacted guest services and they had someone bring up a new bottle of solution for her within minutes. and he also took her drycleaning for her.
Our room was so amazingly awesome I found it difficult to motivate to leave. I guess that would be my only "complaint" We couldn't be bothered with the rest of the Vegas experience when we had the option to lounge around our suite getting in touch with our inner Gianni Versace.
Mirage wouldn't have been my first choice hotel but after this weekend I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Great service, wonderful security, delicious food, breathtaking views, huge jacuzzi tub.... All well worth the money. I've only stayed in one other penthouse suite in Vegas, at Treasure Island, and that experience cannot even hold a candle to this most lavish of experiences at The Mirage. We felt like royalty and all for less than $400.00/night.

I had the pleasure of staying here for an evening recently and I have to admit the accomodations were very nice. The room was clean and sleek. and the staff was very friendly. The pool area was great and carried almost a Miami-esk vibe. The only downside I really have to comment on was the fact that you have to pay for internet access and the elevators to our room were at the back of the casino.

I've stayed here a few times and its one of the nicer Vegas Hotels I've been in. It has a pretty good buffet and it has a little tram to Treasure Island where I would play the arcade games with my brother before we could gamble.
The new room remodel is great. the dark casino atmosphere is one of a kind. The pool is one of the best things in las vegas
the price is good for what you get
I stay here a few times a year and love the mirage.

I really enjoyed my stay here last June-no complaints at all. The location was pretty good, it was nice being close to Bare pool which we usually frequent on trips to Vegas. Had some luck in the casino and enjoyed dinner at Japonais. The rooms were well appointed and comfortable, even though we had 5 girls staying in ours! They only charged us once for the roll away bed, while most other hotels charge by the night. Would definitely stay here again, prefer it to Bellagio and Paris.

My first hotel experience in Vegas was at the Mirage, lucky for me it's one of the better hotels to stay at. Located in the middle or the end of the strip pending how you look at it (some people don't think Circus circus should be in the same league as the other hotels). With so much to do and one of the best spa's I've been to, I almost never left the Mirage that weekend. There was Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat (which sounds kind of dirty), which I got to see the white tiger. The Aquarium which spans the whole front desk, it kind of sucks you in, lucky for me the check in lady had a lot of patience. An Atrium, it was like a mini rainforest and with a 100ft dome ceiling the Palm trees had to be around 60ft tall, the whole thing is very peaceful. And lastly step outside to see the raging volcano which erupts every hour on the hour starting at 8pm. Rooms were nice, but you never stay too long in them anyways.
It's my favorite place I've stayed on the strip... so far.

Ok, So I stayed 3 Nights in Early May. It was a guys trip we went to gamble and for the Pacquio Fight..
So I will start off how our trip started off- Valet Parking- Most of the time rather quick, as soon as we pulled up they were there and it took no more than 4 minutes to get the rental car. So Two Thumbs Up.
Check in- Ugghh Slowww they have a lot of lines but it moved really slow. I will give them credit because I was there at 11ish and they checked me in, although check in time was 3pm.
You have to walk through the tropical rain forest through the slot machines, through the crap tables, through more slots, past the Revolution Lounge then past some shops to FINALLY reach the elevators! To me that was dumb especially when you have to drag your luggage. Now the Mirage usually stays busy so I was hitting people with my suite case and I didn't give a fuck, I had an attitude cause I really do hate people I don't know. So after bullying my way to the elevators, we went up to our room.
Room- 11th Floor- Facing North, North Strip View. Usually this would be nice, but our view was obstructed with bird shit. Whateva fucking bird shit on our window had a real bad case of the shits. It wasn't just one splat, it was like 10 splats, I asked my friends if they wanted another room but everyone was tired so we said fuck it and looked at Bird Shit View the entire stay.
The Decor was actually kind of nice, weird that we had a purple room but umm it was ok, the double bed room was very spacious, they had a desk with a lot of connections, nobody had to fight to charge their cell, or lap-tap or digi cam. Nice HD TV on the Wall with HD Channels, MINI Bar that we didn't touch because 15 for a can of beer is kinda steep. They had a nice iron (which is always important) luckily this was a guys trip and we don't care about the bathroom but it was really really small!
Overall- The room was really nice, beds super comfy, well I think I was soo tired I could have slept on a rock. But the beds did justice after nights of partying and gambling. They had a nice ipod docking station in the room. THis came in Handy because we would put on music while getting ready, we pumped it up and never had a complaint! We we're acting a fool. jumping on beds and the room held up pretty well. Haa.
The Casino was ok- Mostly $10 mins a few $5 mins.. The only thing we ate was the buffet, it was ok for 20 bucks... Did justice.
We spend a day at the pool- didn't get a cabana but found pool chairs easily. I was not impressed with the pool at all.. Kinda of boring if you ask me. MGM pool, MB Pool and Flamingo pool are a lot nicer.
The sports Book was nice, comfy seats nice and spread out- Oh wait I did eat at the Carnegie Deli, Lil pr icy but it was good, it was the only thing open when i stumbled in one night at like 4am I think. I don't know what I had but it was open and I remember it hit the spot.
So overall- The Mirage is nice, it's showing it's age and I'm not sure If I will stay here again, I like kind of a rowdy crowd and the crowd here was kind of lame!!! Even the Pool Scene Sooo Lame... NO Music at the Pool nothing.. I think I may have scene like 10 looking chicks at the pool that day . Blahhhh.
Overall- Great Trip- Great Fight- Great seeing that English Bum Ricky Hatton getting KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT in the 2nd Round!!!
Good times in Vegas. Ok times at the Mirage..

This hotel isn't bad at all. I've seen many a times of the Griswolds in Vegas, and it was interesting to see everything in person. The aquarium behind the front desk was so cool! I was mesmerized for a good while.
The carpeting in the halls looked new, impressive. It seemed like they were going for an asian-esque feel to the hotel. We had two adjoining rooms. The rooms were tiny! They each had 2 queen beds, with little walking room. I loved the decor though. It was very modern and chic. Each room had it's own plasma and a small table crushed up against the side. The bathrooms were bleh. The showers had curtains instead of the usual doors you see at most other hotels. I can't really complain, we didn't spend much time in our room.
We had a crappy view since our room was at the back end of the hotel. No cool volcano view.
Their white tigers are so beautiful. And HUGE. They draw huge crowds, but I managed to snag a spot by the window to look at one of the tiger's face up close.
I hate gambling, so I very very rarely gamble. I was walking through the casino and decided to spend a few bucks on their dollar slots. Yeah, lost that in under a minute. Never again!
Anyone watch E!? Kim Vo has his own salon here! I actually saw him walking around during the day. It was the same weekend Britney was staying here.
Their valet area is cool. On hot days, they have water misting from the top to keep the waiting crowds from dehydrating. I thought that was a nice touch. This hotel is cool, but I don't think it would be one of my top choices if I were to ever plan a trip to Vegas.

The Mirage is typical Las Vegas, glitzy and garish but in a good way. I stayed there for one night on a recent trip but be forewarned the casino doesn't have any Wizard Of Oz slots (what no flying monkey bonus?) The food is uber expensive in the hotel but the rooms are nicely redecorated with sort of a Laugh In retro feel and are pretty comfortable. My room had a lovely view of the parking structure and was at the end of the very long hallway, it was a trek to just get to the elevator from the room. The went to the revolution bar where i paid a pretty penny for a Jameson on the rocks but it was cheaper then losing all my playing video poker just to get a "free drink"
After check in there is a very long and i mean LONG walk to the hotel elevators so get a bellmen to help you if you have any luggage at all its worth the tip. The hotel staff was very friendly all except for the valet, cranky is the word i would use. I had luggage and they basically just park your car and get your car they wont help you with your bags ... at all... or maybe the tramp i got just wouldn't help me. bitch i got tip money!
overall it was just dandy there especially because i pricelined the room and got a great deal if i had paid rack rates i might not have been as happy.
