| - Where do I even begin?! The Mirage has a little bit of everything - they have restaurants, shopping, entertainment, a casino, pool, bars, convention halls, and hotel rooms. It's almost like being at a resort! I came here for work, so unfortunately I didn't get to have a lot of fun and enjoy the pool, swim with the dolphins, or enjoy a show. I'm also not a gambler so this isn't a review to read if you're looking to see if their casino is awesome. But I did get to explore just about everything else!
Hotel: The staff at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. Every person I ran into said hello. I was surprised at the line at the font desk when we walked in, but they moved it quickly. They were also able to hold our luggage when we checked out (we had a late flight out). The hotel itself is very pretty and clean on the inside - there are signs everywhere telling you where everything is at, they also have a map. There are waterfalls when you first walk in, and it kind of smells like coconut. That smell got old after a while.
My room had a nice view and was very clean. I wouldn't say it was the best room I've ever stayed in (the Wifi didn't work well, they don't have a lot of TV channels, and my bathroom light kept flickering). But, it was nice for how long I was there.
Restaurants/Bars: There's a pretty decent variety in restaurants. We barely left the hotel since we were there for a convention, so we mostly ate here. There was enough of a variety that we didn't get sick of anything and were able to try something new every day. Some places are a little more upscale than others - I wouldn't say any of them are cheap. There's a few bars inside that get crowded at night. They have Rhumbar which is an outdoor lounge - that was fun too.
Shopping: There is a little bit of shopping within the Mirage. I would say it is mostly upscale shopping. It's nothing like Caesar's - I wouldn't call it a mall by any means. There are just a few stores.
Convention Halls: A little out-of date and out of the way of everything else. They were also confusing to get around in - there aren't many signs telling you where other rooms are at, and the rooms are not marked well. It served its purpose.
Overall, I think this is a good hotel and a fun place to stay. If I came back I would probably try to explore another hotel, but that's just because I don't like seeing the same thing twice. I would also come back and enjoy some of the entertainment here!
