| - Stayed at the Mirage between April 9-13, 2009. We got in on a Thursday afternoon and check in was a breeze. Early check-in was readily available. I asked the girl at the front desk if the room had a fridge aside from the mini bar and she told me she could get one up to my room at no additional cost. It was to my satisfaction and I gave her a tip for being so accommodating. The staff is extremely friendly and the property itself has a very refreshing vibe.
We got to our room and it had a contemporary design and a flat screen TV. The bathroom was a bit small, but still nice. There were USB ports and high speed connections ready to use. A big plus, we had several electronic devices during the time.
This is my third time staying at the Mirage, 2005, 2006, and 2009 were the times I have stayed at this property and they have given all their rooms a great upgrade. I can appreciate this.
Now here's one thing that bugged me a little bit. My buddies and I went down to the swimming pool and there were no chairs available. In the past when I have stayed at the Mirage property, they have had cabana boys who walked around trying to get chairs together and make some room for the late arrivals at the pool. This year, I didn't see anything of the sort. Just extra cocktail waitresses and that was it. So we ended just laying a towel out in front of the pool, but we had a good spot so it didn't bother us much. The cocktail waitress who served us, Camille was very pleasant. Great Mojitos! Give them a try.
Now for the gambling. Their dealers seem to be very friendly and I was up the first couple of days I'd say about 300 bucks on roulette but I went down about 400 the next couple of days. Had a lot of fun, but losing kinda sucked, oh well. If you're looking for a property with high ceilings and a brighter, more contemporary feel to it, I would recommend a different casino because Mirage is somewhat dark and has lower ceilings in the table area. But a lot of that stuff is not important to me. The dealers are the most important aspect in gambling for me so the environment doesn't really phase me.
The Mirage has several different places to eat, a couple different clubs (Although not my favorite clubs, Jet sucks) and is a very well-rounded property. It's not as extravagant as some of the new properties, but it's nicer than a lot of the older properties and continues to stay up to date because of the surrounding competition. I would definitely recommend staying at the Mirage to any first time Las Vegas visitor. I have stayed at this property three times now and have been satisfied every time. Great place to get your feet wet for your first time Vegas experience, but I find myself coming back to the Mirage more often than other properties. And you just can't beat the location. It's perfect!
