We went down for my 70th birthday and only stayed 2 nites - I called and told them that it was important to me that the trip be special - they upgraded us to the 32nd floor - strip view room (fab!)....buffet is blah but it came with our room deal so free is good. I had groupon for a show at Flamingo - bus is right in front of Mirage so worked out well. Slots paid very weel - I bet minimum and won consistently - paid for most of trip. It is now our "home hotel" - recommend getting their players club card for best rates and MLIfe for Mirage (next door) and playing My Vegas on Facebook for free 2:1's on MLife card....TI folks were friendly and helpful. We had a great time and look forward to returning!
