4 1/2 stars! Our prior stay in Vegas was at the Luxor (nice place but waaaaaaay too far out on the start of the strip) so for our two night couples trip to Las Vegas for 03/14 weekend we chose The Mirage and loved this place. Stayed in a regular king sized room and it was the perfect size, very clean and nicely decorated. I'm sure you can find a fancier room in other hotels but this is a great place at a very decent price, plus great location on the strip. The entire hotel is very pretty. Lots of plants and flowers. The general pool area is huge and relaxing (seperate from Bare pool party area). Volcano show is cool and buffett was pricey but food was good. Didnt eat at any of the restaurants there but there's definitely options to choose from.
There was an incident as we were checking-in where another guest was making a huge scene and getting angry with the staff (his problem had nothing to do with the hotel but with the cab driver who drove him there)... anyway, the young lady who was assisting us was not only very nice before the incident but apologized several times afterwards and gave each of our rooms (3 rooms) a $25 credit because we had to witness the uncomfortable moment. Not much but I thought it was nice of her because it wasnt something she HAD to do. I will definitely be back to the Mirage!
