I am going to give 5 stars to The Mirage because of how they have managed to combine such a solid location on the strip with affordable rooms and a clean atmosphere. I made the switch from the Venetian/Palazzo later last year because I wasn't being taken very good care of anymore there after years of expensive stays and thousands spent in gambling and food. I took my money to the Mirage and immediately I was very happy with the change. It is not super upscale like the Palazzo, but I find everything at the Mirage that I would need or want. They have taken great care of me in my recent stays. I have a trip coming up soon, and I'm looking forward to hitting Gold card status there that first night!
