. "It's a classic and it seems to keep pace with the newer hotel/casinos that keep popping up. I have stayed at The Mirage a couple of times and each time has been a very good experience. \n\nThe Mirage is perfectly located in the center of the strip within walking distance to The Venetian, The Palazzo and Caesars. I visit Vegas for trade shows and the location of The Mirage is why we stay there. \n\nThe only down side to The Mirage is the long walk from the front door to the room elevators. Yes, I understand it's all about getting their customer in the casino but it is a hassle, especially when the hotel is booked. Checking is has always been hassle free and the front desk agents are always helpful. The hotel has plenty of good food options covering all kinds of prices levels and cuisine. \n\nThe rooms have been recently updated in the last two years and from my understanding it really needed it. The decor is contemporary and simple, large flat screen but a tiny bathroom. I like the casino because I rarely see kids running through, it's classy and I seem to win when I'm there...so what's not to like. \n\nSince my first visit the volcano has been renovated and it is a huge improvement. I was told that the company that did the Belagio fountain renovated the volcano. It goes off every hour in the evening until 11pm and if you've seen the old show it's worth the time to see the new show. \n\nI travel to Vegas a couple of times a year...for the value and the location I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else."^^ .
