| - We chose to stay at the Mirage because of its location, attractions and pool reviews. We weren't disappointed!
Check in was a little crazy - there really isn't a line to stand in, you just bunch up around the desk. Luckily I didn't have to wait too long - the line was much longer at other times we walked by. The check in lady was very nice! We chatted awhile and she gave me some recommendations - and free passes to Sigfried and Roy's animal habitat. Score! When we got back from dinner later that night, she had sent up a bottle of champagne on ice for us! I was really impressed.
Our room was a 2 queen room and it was very large! We had the "sunset view" room, which gave us a great view of the mountains. We could also see some of the north strip, like the stratosphere. We were on the 10th floor. It's cool how they have 4 sets of elevators, and you go to the ones based on the floor you are staying on. The beds were comfy, TV was big, and they had nice toiletries offered. It was very clean and the housekeeping staff was outstanding. My one complaint about the room was that you could hear EVERYTHING from the hall. I mean, after getting up at 4am to catch my flight that morning, I took a small nap and was constantly disturbed by people walking, talking, and making noise in the hall. One person answered their cell phone and I could hear THE OTHER PERSON on the line. WTF? Luckily it was quieter at night, but every night, I was awakened at least once by someone being noisy. If I were to stay here again, I would try to request a room at the end of the hall and bring my noise machine.
There are a lot of shops and restaurants in the hotel. The Paradise store has everything known to man, from food to alcohol, souvenirs, toiletries. It's huge. There is a Kardashian store here, which gave me a huge laugh. Nothing of much value there! There is froyo, Starbucks, several casual restaurants, and several upscale. There also is the wildlife habitat, volcano show nightly, nice pool, bars, casino and more. Lots to do!
The pool area is pretty awesome. It is HUGE and has two waterfalls. You can lounge around the side with your drinks from the Dolphin bar, which are good, and better be for $20 a pop for the bigger size. There are cocktail waitresses that will bring them to you in the pool or at your lounge chair. We went to the pool two afternoons and had no problem getting two chairs together. It is busy, but there were several empty.
The location is great - we saw Cirque's LOVE here, and it's next door to where they have Mystere (Treasure Island), and across the street from the Venetian and Palazzo shops and a Walgreens, and a few minutes from the Wynn, where we saw the best show ever - Le Reve. We walked everywhere without a problem. It is a lot of walking but is worth it, and good for burning off the calories from drinks and food that you enjoy here!
Overall, great experience.
