I enjoyed my stay at the Mirage. One reason is I like the way the casino floor is laid out and I like to stay where I like to play. I enjoy the buffet here, numerous restaurants at various price points and service levels are generally high. Room service was fast and efficient even at 2 or 3 in the morning. I will say that their call center must be run by retarded monkeys since they managed to mess up everything about the 2 rooms I booked. However the front desk staff did a great job of correcting the problems and comping us for the inconvenience so I especially want to point out the great job Relita did in helping us.
Additionally there are two good dance clubs Jet and Revolution, an outdoor bar and a good quiet bar by the sports book. Most in the party won so that is another plus but one that can't be counted on in the future.
The hotel has a great outdoor pool, an indoor adult pool and the dolphin experience where you can swim with dolphins. You can also go through the tiger compound still there from Siegfried and Roy. The gym as mentioned needs a serious upgrade but then it is Vegas you have to check the healthy lifestyle for a few days.
I would definately stay here again as it offers better value than some of the surrounding resorts and it's central location makes cruising the strip easy.
