| - I've been to Vegas countless times, but never stayed at the Mirage. I think for the price we paid, it was an absolutely fantastic Vegas choice.
The rooms: Decent size, full length mirror (always a necessity for a ladies weekend), quiet bathroom, COMFY beds, and good views no matter what room you're in - either strip view or pool view. Big TV with lots of choices.
The pools: The pool is easily the BEST thing about staying at the Mirage. Get there early, because EVERYONE wants to spend time at this beautiful pool. The waterfalls are gorgeous and make for great pictures, there is a LOT of sun with not much blocking from the building or trees, and the bar by the pool has a great variety of frozen alcoholic beverages for somewhat reasonable Vegas prices.
They also have the adult pool - BARE - aka, let your boobies get some sun. Pretty young and attractive crowd, much better music playing and definitely a wild atmosphere. We got in for free, but I definitely wouldn't pay $10 to get in here as a lady to have all the boys see my tatas. This was definitely crowded, so actual swimming wasn't an option, just standing in the pool with all the beautiful tan, drunk people.
The property: Lots to do here. Good variety of restaurants. We ate at BLT Burger (see my yelp review for that establishment), a coffee café that had good breakfast options and Starbucks. There is also STACK - a great steakhouse that I've had the pleasure of eating at before. Good variety of quality, price and food options to choose from.
We also enjoyed the Siegfried and Roy Secret Garden, which was where they keep all of their adorable lil dolphin friends and white tiger kitty cat friends. Tip - if you're staying here make sure to tell them and show your room key, you'll get a 5 dollar discount on admission. Lots of cute animals and great picture opportunities, plus nice to have something additional to do close by during the day when your head hurts from the night before.
JET is also here - great nightclub, fun environment. No line or cover fee for us so WIN.
I've seen LOVE here by Cirque - great show and a fun Beatles themed lounge right outside. Great picture opps right outside the theater on the rainbow road!
Overall, I highly recommend the Mirage! Location was great - right in the middle of the strip. I give it four stars only because it's a bit older, so it doesn't have the swanky, high class décor of places like Encore, Bellagio, Cosmopolitan.
