| - I was pleasantly surprised with my recent stay at the Mirage and would gladly stay at this hotel again.
LOVES:
1) LOCATION: Located on the strip, closer to the North end. As any of you regular Vegas goers know, location is everything! For this particular Vegas trip the majority of our plans had us at the North end of the strip which made it convenient for us to get around by foot or taxi.
2) FRONT DESK/LOBBY AREA: I love love love the pretty (and huge) aquarium situated right behind the front desk. It runs the length of the front desk area, so as you're waiting in the long line to check in or check out at least you've got a lovely view of the pretty aquarium to keep you entertained.
3) ROOM RATES: I usually book MGM or the Gold Coast for Vegas trips because of their bargain rates, but when fellow Yelper Ingrid R told me about the good rates at the Mirage I checked it out. Our room rates for our stay were as follows:
Fri 12/21 $72
Sat 12/22 $72
Sun 12/23 $56
However, keep in mind as with any other hotel in Vegas the above room rates did not include the daily $25 resort fee nor the 12% room tax. So including all the fees and taxes the entire stay came to $309.
4) ROOMS: Although me and my boyfriend's room was all the way at the end of the hall, we scored a corner room that was slightly larger than our other friends' rooms and had better views because of the semi wraparound windows. My favorite part about the room was the abundance of mirrors they had, aside from the mirror in the bathroom. As soon as we walked in, I noticed a full length mirror to my left (absolute must have in any Vegas hotel room); the mirrored closet; and a rather large hanging mirror on the wall next to the bathroom door. Regardless of who was in the bathroom and how long the bathroom was in use, the mirrors came in handy for the other one to still get ready. Enough about the mirrors lol, the rest of the room was nice: simple modern decor; comfy bed; large flat screen tv; etc. Although the bathroom was pretty small compared to other hotels I've stayed at.
5) BLT: You'll have to read my BLT review for more details, but what a great find and soooooo convenient!!! Good food & awesome shakes!!! The group of us ended up eating here multiple times during our Vegas trip.
Aside for the small bathroom in our room, there really isn't anything to dislike about the Mirage. I'm not sure when our next trip to Vegas will be but I'm keeping the Mirage in my list of go-to hotels to stay at.
