| - I stayed at The Mirage Hotel in Vegas with a group of 4 girls. It's not a fancy hotel, but I loved it anyway.
The check in girl was about 22 to 25 years old and didn't smile once. She seemed grumpy, but we brushed it off. We're in Vegas!!
We asked for a conjoining room and it was available. This definitely made things more fun as we kept the doors between the 2 rooms opened at all times. It felt like a huge room. The beds were extremely comfortable and the place was clean. The bathroom was a little small and I wished the mirror / counter areas were bigger.
We left a note and a huge tip to the housekeeping staff to change the sheets of one of our beds, but she didn't... however, she took the tip anyway.
There is also a resort fee that is on top of your charges. You don't get much. Basically, it includes a daily newspaper, which isn't even delivered to your room, business center and use of the fitness room. They used to have 2 bottles of water per day given to you as well, but they took that away. Come on, it doesn't cost much...
Now the pool was the absolute best part! It was a Polynesian themed pool with a lot of loungers and space for swimming. We didn't feel crowded and dispite all the reviews mentioning that the water was too cold, we thought it was perfect. My only regret was that we had time to relax at the pool for a measley 3 hours during our whole trip.
The Bare Lounge, which was the dayclub / pool area for VIP's or people who wanted to pay extra for a party atmosphere was pretentious and filled with slimey men. We got in for free, but we didn't enjoy ourselves. If it's your thing, then go for it. Lots of alcohol, music and 50 Cent was suppose to stop by. For me, I rather have fun in the general area.
The location is excellent and located right in the middle of the strip. You will be close to everything within walking distance and if not, a cab ride won't break the bank.
Location and pool = good.
Service and taking away water bottles in resort fee = lame.
Overall we had a fantastic time.
