| - Date of stay May 21 - 23
We managed to get a new room...20th floor...overlooking the strip.
*The new decor , nice.
*Beds, comfy.
*Linens, crisp and clean.
*Bathroom, beautiful but with bad shower.
*HD flat screen TV with no HD cable?!?!?
*Pool, AWESOME. They need to have more cocktail servers though.
*Service/guest facing personnel, had a few "rude" encounter but service was good for the most part. Oh and if you go to Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden, don't ask the Dolphin habit women anything. They're super rude, especially it seems, to guys. My boyfriend and another guy that was there both had unplesant encounters.
Pleasant dinner at Onda...FANTASTIC Garlic Crusted Sea Bass...quite tasty Veal Marsala...unimpressed with service and my mixed green salad was limp under a thick coating of creamy dressing...ick!
Carnegie Deli...huge portions of sub-par food (bland, dry rye. gummy Swiss. dry corned beef). Although the fries were PERFECT!
Carbibe was decent, went for breakfast. They do a 1 item breakfast which is great if you don't want to stuff yourself. It comes with 1 egg, 1 slice of toast, 1 piece of meat and 1/2 a serving of hash browns. It hit the spot and I didn't feel bloated in my bikini at the pool! hahaha
Gambling treated both of us well. At Roulette I put down $10 and walked away with $100+. Slots, put in an $18 credit slip and walked away with $300. I pissed away about $100 here and there so I'd say I actually WON about $300 in our 2 1/2 days at Mirage. Can't beat that! It paid for at least half the trip (& my boyfriend's winnings paid for the other half).
All in all we had a great time at Mirage and would go back.
QUICK NOTE: The volcano is closed until late 2008 AND they took away the free White Tiger exhibit. It will be replaced by a restaurant.
