The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas

February 27th, 2009 No comments

During my recent trip to Las Vegas I stayed at the Mirage Hotel. This hotel is owned by the MGM company. The property is decorated beautifully and is worth the money. My stay was perfect. I would say that if you are going to book this property, however, just pay for the standard, don’t go for the upgraded room unless you are getting suite. Check out the Secret Garden while you are there.

If you are choosing this property don’t pay the extra money for the room with the jetted tub on floors 24 and 25. The tub is nice, but the rooms are much smaller than the standard room. I would say you have about a 25-50 percent chance of a strip view, but I think they charge extra for that.

The Secret Garden is home to dolphins and white tigers. The admission is about twenty per person, but it is a really neat thing to see. You get to be face to face with these animals. The trainers are also very friendly and will share any information they can. Right now they also have tiger cubs and 2 baby dolphins which is really neat.

The decorations are very tropical. Palm trees, etc. They have a Beatle’s nightclub that is called Revolution, and there are many stores within the hotel. Their location is center strip which will give you access to all kinds of things to do. We saw the pirate show at the Treasure Island. There is also a volcano show at the Mirage but I ran out of time and didn’t see that.

I would recommend this hotel to anybody who wants to stay on the strip in a good location. Just remember that the standard room in my opinion is better than the upgraded room when it comes to space.
