I recently went to Vegas for a double whammo! We had to be there for a wedding on Saturday August 15th and that's the same weekend as my Birthday, which was a great relief!
I got a great deal from the Mirage and never had stayed there before. I was a little concern because a few of our friends had told us it was an older hotel. But since it was such a great deal I decided to stick to my guns and stay there for 3 nights.
We checked in on Thursday at 1:00pm and the check in was a breeze. We walked from the Hotel Front Desk through a mini tropical garden to the elevators. It was just breathtaking. The garden was so beautiful and serene. I was hoping by now that when I reached my room I would be happy with that as well. I got to the elevator and got to the floor... The front desk girl gave me a room that was so far from the elevator I thought I needed a day just to hike to it. In any case when I finally stepped in I was pleasantly surprise because:
1. The room had a comtemporary chic look to it. It was just so nice.
2. I quickly realized why she put me in that room, she gave me a view of the pool!
The room is a little bigger than other hotels and the mattress was so comfy I can't complain. After settling in I went to the pool. It was so nice. It was a tropical paradise right in the desert. It's not quite as fabulous as the Mandalay Beach but close enough. It was a huge pool but of course like any Vegas pool in the summer it gets crowded by 10am.
Service is great and is a breeze. Check in and out are awesome no complaints. I'll definitely be staying here again.
