| - WONDERFUL experience at the Mirage!
ROOM SERVICE:
Some of our travel partners ordered middle-of-the-night room service every night! Ourselves, we just did it once, for a breakfast.
Mr. Rosie S. and I ordered the following:
- 1 seasonal fruit plate to share: $19
(it ended up being a HUGE portion we couldn't finish between us with apples, pears, watermelon, canteloupe and honeydew in lovely thin slices, red and green grapes, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries.
- 1 banana to share (it didn't come on the fruit plate): $2
- For him: order of an english muffin with butter and jam: $5
(came toasted with hand-rolled butter, and little glass jars of orange marmalade, lemon preserves, blueberry jam and strawberry jam - they were VERY DELICIOUS!)
- For him: order of grilled bacon: $7
(he said it tasted chemically so he didn't end up eating it)
- For me: sesame seed bagel & cream cheese: $7
(it came toasted with the cream cheese on a separate plate)
All arrived in about 35-40 minutes, hot and smelling divine. They included tiny bottles of ketchup as well.
Total came to $49.73 - that's pretty expensive for breakfast, but I went down to the hotel convenience store to get our water and juice to go with, so we saved there (sort of).
It was pampering at its best! Who gets breakfast delivered on a table with a white tablecloth? LOVES IT!
OUR FAVOURITE HOTEL RESTAURANTS:
- B. B. King's Blues Club (now closed) for dinner, late night and live music! LOVED the hushpuppies here!
- Carnegie Deli (late night and breakfast)
- CPK - California Pizza Kitchen. Our first time trying! Had it again in the airport on our way home we liked it so much
- Blizz Frozen Yogurt Bar
POOL:
- Will review separately, but know it is TOTALLY worth booking here if pool is on your priority list!
SHOWS:
- Cirque du Soleil's LOVE - one of the top three live performances I have seen in my life... and that comes from a theatre person.
ATMOSPHERE:
- All Beatles, all the time!
