| - I feel like I know Vegas pretty well, as I am usually here multiple times a year and I stay in a different hotel each time. For my bachelorette party, my friends and I scoured the internet for a hotel that offered an affordable suite with ample space to have a small party and also to house about 7 girls. For the record, suites don't usually allow that many people in one room, no matter how big they are (hotel politics), but it didn't seem unreasonable to me when we found the Mirage Hospitality Suite, which is 2 bedrooms, 3 beds, 3 bathrooms and 1700 square feet. For around $700 a night, we thought it was a deal of the century. Officially, it said max 6 people, but we sneaked in a 7th.
The actual suite was perfect for our party. Lots of room, and no one ever felt like they were infringing on someone else's territory. The room with 2 beds was a little cramped, but I think it was okay for just the weekend when we weren't spending a ton of time in the suite anyway.
However, lots of things went wrong. First, we arrived about an hour before check in, and we were informed that the suite would not be ready for another few hours. We were pretty upset with this and it seemed like no one could do much because there are only a finite amount of Hospitality Suites on the property. So we had to go hang out by the pool and frantically take out from our luggage what we needed and what was to go with the bell boy up to the room when it was finally ready. How terribly inconvenient...definitely not a luxury experience. I actually had a plastic bag full of clothes and a phone charger and some makeup that I had to carry around until about 5pm when the room was ready. Ugh.
Next, the refrigerator/ice machine in our suite was not working and we had repairmen in and out of the suite for several hours. So not only did we get our room late, now the room is occupied by hotel staff....no privacy at this place!
Additionally, we were charged some extra fee, but they removed it. We were getting pretty mad at the Mirage and after all this, they were on top of it with all of our demands.
So all in all, yes it's a great room for a bigger party. But be aware that they only have a few of these suites and things might not go as smoothly as you had hoped.
