My wife and I came to the Mirage for our honeymoon. We had a view of the strip right above the fountain. While in our room prepping for out first time in Vegas, we heard drums in the distance. Of course we knew sumpin was going on, so we looked out the window. FIRST thing we notice is about 500 people shoulder to shoulder on the sidewalk, we got the hint that the volcano was about to erupt!
The show started and we were absolutely amazed!! we loved it!! And what was great is that we seen it probably 20 times in our 4 night stay. So that whole time watching it from our room, I told my wife, "lets go down by the fence and watch it right up close!" We did.....And WOW!!! You actually can FEEL the heat when the volcano erupts. It was a whole new experience seeing it up close Vs from the room....even though it was very cool from the room as well. It was fun getting ready for the night life and watching the Volcano do its thing in the mean time.
