We’ve been staying at the Mirage for years, but it had definitely gotten a little long-in-the-tooth. Luckily the remodel has saved them. The new rooms are awesome. But what is truly best about this hotel is its casino—not too big and very friendly. Also, their buffet is the BEST is Vegas as is their pool. We’ve tried the wynn and others and always come back to the Mirage.

We stayed at Mirage for the first time this year and were impressed. The buffet is good enough to go back multiple times, even if the staff sends you the message they want you out (not filling drinks enough). Our room had a modern Asian feel, with frosted glass counters, ice-block lamps, and a 40” LCD TV. Good view of the strip, too. The housekeeping service was great, but the desk service was disappointing. Twice we had to deal with a lady manager who was clearly angry that we may have gotten too good of a deal on our room. Not sure why it matters to her; surely they rip off enough people to make up for us. But overall we’d stay here again, as it’s conveniently located and has a good buffet and rooms. It’s also relatively easy to navigate through, which is more than I can say for many Las Vegas hotels.

Eight years ago, I called this place over the hill and could visualize it’s implosion day. Fortunately, Mirage is back on track. Well appointed with all sorts of techie friendly features like LCD TVs and iPod docks (not for phones!), this place is worth consideration on any circumstance unless you MUST have a seperate tub and shower. Rooms may also not seem well suited for more than two people.

The Mirage was once the most beautiful resort on the Strip, and it is now, thanks to MGM, just another in a growing class of pretentious – looking hangouts for hipster wannabes. The employees are very friendly and accomodating, and the pool is still the best in Vegas, but the casino has been gutted of all its gorgeous tropical beauty, and it looks like a giant Starbucks. The signature rainforest is now half gone, to make room for the noise of a new bar. What once was a place that welcomed guests with quiet beauty, and gave people that elusive combination of relaxation and excitement, is sadly no more. The “new” Mirage is dark, sterile, and cold, just like every other place the corporate whizbangs at MGM have gotten their hands on. What a shame.

I stayed at this hotel 20 years ago and it was impressive. The hotel went from the best hotel to the average hotel on the strip. It is no where in the saem category as the Bellagio, Venetian, Palazzo or Wynn. It is just an average hotel and I would definitely not stay here again. The beds are very comfortable, the buffett was wonderful but the hotel lacks a variety of gourmet restaurants and is filled with smoke. The pool is beautiful. I think this hotel appeals to the youth.

After having been in one of the newly remodeled rooms at The Mirage, I can say they are a huge improvement. The décor is now modern with all new furniture. Bed was very comfortable. The new entertainment system has a ton of power plugs and you can even attach your laptop to watch a DVD on the plasma TV. Great work they’ve done here. Top notch.

My wife and I stayed here 1 time and that will be it unless it is free; which I doubt since we don’t really play here that much since they started doing away with the theme. The lobby and the pool are wonderful, but the casino has lost it’s luster. The rooms are horrible unless you pay for the “Nice” rooms; they are in serious need of renovation. If you are going to spend the money I would stay at the Flamingo Go rooms, Ceasars, TI, or spend a little more for the Bellagio.

It is a real shame, this place has class, but it is slowly going the way of the buffalo.  I hate this because I love the whole tropical feel.

We have stayed at the Mirage 4 or 5 times and I am disappointed in what has happened to this once great casino/hotel. It seems so very confused now. Why attempt to do away with the theme casinos, when this is why many, many people choose them to stay at to begin with?

The rooms are so worn and mis-matched, you almost want to bring your own bedspread.

I wish it had never left Steve Wynn’s golden hands.

I love staying at the Mirage! My husband I have celebrated our anniversary here for the last 7 years, and wouldn’t think of staying anywhere but the Penthouse Suite here. We are always treated so well. Kokomos is always good, and STACK is another favorite. Throw in the pool, the new spa and the drinks from the high limits lounge and you won’t find a better place – maybe newer but not the class the Mirage still carries.

i am in total shock. this place is not what it used to be at all. the mirage is now very much catering to the california set and they are not even doing a good job at that. alot of things are coming across as hokey and whoever is in charge of setting the mood in this place is confused and should be fired! yuck!

The Mirage is experiencing a major resurgence with a set of new restaurants like STACK, the Jet nightclub, the Cirque/Beatles show called LOVE and the new Euro-pool, Bare.

Full of as many young people as old these days, The Mirage has been fully re-invigorated since a period of arguable stagnation after the MGM purchase.

WOW! The new Mirage is simply amazing! EVERYTHING in the casino is new! Award winning JAPONAIS restaurant from Chicago, new hip club JET and restaurant STACK! And the new Beatles show!! the Mirage was getting old BUT now its a whole new wotld!

The ‘new’ Mirage is dark, of phony pretention and has lost its tropical feel. It has been replaced by a corporate feel – very generic and nothing seems cosistant. Any semblance of the “old school” comfy Vegas is gone, baby, gone. The volcano was still impressive as of July, but they are changing that, too. Maybe they’ll throw in a few naked ladies with implants being sacrificed at each eruption.

This was my third time to stay at the Mirage. The staff was very friendly. Everything at the Mirage is very clean. Room was spotless. The spa tub was tiny though. I’m only 5’11” and I was cramped. Pool is very nice, but crowded. Getting a couple of chairs can be hard. I’ve only been back a day and I’m ready to go back.

I agree with the “need another coffee shop” review. They desperately need another coffee shop! But I do love the Mirage!!! It is classy and seems to cater to a little bit older crowd, but a very cool older crowd. They pull that off without being pretentious or trendy, and that is rare these days in LV. I’ve stayed there upwards of 6 times, and always feel comfortable and looking forward to going back. ‘Can’t wait to see the new lounge and Kokomo’s restaurant. Hopefully they won’t be of the new “What happens in Vegas…” mind-set that is all the rage these days!

Great room and awsome theme! This casino was very nice when some friends and I stayed there a few months back. Had a great view of the volcano in the front. Wasn’t too smokey like many other vegas casinos. Had a nice buffet and was fairly quick for check in. Not too much to say in the way of cons; very nice and can eaisly get great rates on the off season.

After all that I’ve heard about the “butchering” of the Mirage, I didn’t know what to expect after two years of not visiting. It’s surprising, but MGM Mirage CAN do some things right! The new high-limit area is one good example. I feel as if many of the changes going on at the Mirage are for the better. It was getting a little older. After all, nobody, not even MGM Mirage, can ruin Steve’s first Strip venture!

On July 13 2005, RateVegas.com User wrote:

After seeing the Mirage, I realized that, even after all these years, Steve’s first Strip hotel still holds its own. To be sure, the Mirage is in a class of its own. It was Wynn’s first, it was his best. The rooms and amenities cannot be beat. Their luxurious appointments more than make up for the smaller size. Pool and Casino alike were lush and tropical. This is still one of the best places in Vegas. Nobody, not even MGM Mirage, can ruin that.

The Mirage is a luxurious and classy oasis in the heart of Center Strip. The pool, rooms, food, service, and casino are among the best in town.

I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about the Mirage. When I arrived at the porte cochere, I knew that my experience would not be horrible, or even bad for that matter. The first thing that you see is the atrium, amazing feature. And the first thing that you smell is vanilla aromatherapy. I immediately went to check in and was told that they would upgrade me from a standard room to a poolview room if I could wait a couple of hours. (It was 12:00) So I went and dined at their fabulous buffet and came back. Upon walking through their casino, I noticed that the entire place had a real feel of paradise. Anyway…Got to my floor, the 21st and walked down a pretty long hallway to my room. The long walk was worth it. The room was fabulous! Marbled entry, beautiful new carpeting and furniture, comfortable beds. And the best part was that it was all high quality workmanship. The view outside my window was fabulous – I could see the dolphins below and the entire south end of the Strip. And many people complain of the bathrooms being too small. Well, they are small, but packed with style and comfortable amenities. Plus, there was a vanity outside the room. Service throughout my entire stay was flawless. I did not meet one person who was not friendly and accomodating. After a while, I felt as if it was time to go to their fabulously rated pool. WOW!!! I had heard great things about the Mirage pool, but was not prepared for what I saw. This is by far the best pool in Vegas! It wasn’t even crowded when I was there. In any case, I have found a new home in Vegas. And it is the Mirage.

I was at the Mirage for a convention and then stayed for a few days’ vacation. I enjoyed it very much and found the staff to be very professional and helpful.

I would definitely stay here again.

Oh,thank you so much MGMMIRAGE for turning TI,Bellagio and MIrage into 3 identical,sanitized,soulless places.Still,the Mirage is one of my favorite places,hopefully MGM will stop to tore it down.

Stayed here 8th 15th June 05.
We really like the Mirage! We had stayed for a week in 2003 and this time it was as good as ever.
The rooms are good, nicely decorated and furnished (but yes the bathrooms are smaller than newer hotels). We were on the 17th floor with a view of the Volcano I think that these are meant to be $20 dollars a night extra but I tried the $20 trick and got one without extra charge.
The Pool area is great very lush with plenty of places to seek out some shade if you need it – it was crowded, but we were always able to get a chair.
The location is unbeatable youve got the Venetian, TI, and Caesars all next door (or across the street) and the feel of the whole hotel is really good it manages to be big enough to be impressive but on a human scale.
The Aquarium, Rainforest and theming in the in the casino give the place a really good feel.
The only improvements Id like to see would be;
Better noise insulation from the corridor into the room we never heard noise from the adjacent rooms but the doors dont seem to fit well and we always heard the maids and guests entering and leaving their rooms.
Also the service in the sundries shops always seemed to be really slow.

Overall, a really great hotel.

This was our first trip to vegas, so I did plenty of research on hotels. I had heard so much about the Mirage and finally decided to book there. What a fine choice, It met all of our expectations, a very nice hotel. The pool was awesome and our favorite part of the whole trip! The girl who checked us in 3 days earlier happened to check us out when leaving. Even after seeing hundreds of people, she remembred our names without looking the computor, now thats customer sewrvice! I’d recomend the Mirage to anyyone.

This is definitely one of the nicest hotels on the Vegas Strip, espeically for those of us who are not insane enough to pay the equivalent of one month’s rent just to stay at Caesar’s or the Venetian. The rooms are superb – roomy, accomodating, comfortable, and private. The bathrooms were some of the nicest I have ever seen. And the casino area is a hot bed of action – whther it’s gambling, meeting people, people watching, or enjoying fine dining. The pool area was great too and is one fo the few Las Vegas pools that I enjoy using. The hotel has a great location and I highly recommend it for anyone’s weekend getaway.

I love this hotel! The lobby and front desk area are beautiful, and I had fantastic service everywhere. The room was clean, altho they gave me a smoking room because non-smoking was not available. Towels could be a bit fluffier, but the bathroom was spotless. The pool is fantastic, one of the nicest I have ever seen. I had a partial view of the pool from my room, which was very nice. I will definitely stay here again—the atmosphere is friendlier than other strip hotels.

The Mirage has an incredible energy that no other casino in Vegas has.There is no Bellagio,no Venetian or Mandalay,and I guess no Wynn either.This place has that late 80’s feeling that updates to the recent years in a perfect combination.When I stay at the Mirage I really do not feel the need to go out and venture in other hotels.The rooms are excellent and have been recently remodeled.The pool was a bit disappointing,just because was packed,not beacuse is a bad one.It is beautiful actually.

After a disspointing stay at the Bellagio we ended up at The Mirage for a night. Due to an addition to the trip we needed to get a 2nd room. So right off the bat they told us they would put us in a 2 bedroom suite for the price of a regular room since we were only staying one night. Which ended up being a top floor penthouse suite. I’ve never been more impressed with service in Vegas. The room was offered. We didn’t even have to ask for it. The room was beautiful and the bar was great. The casino was good although table limits were high due to the large crowds for the NASCAR race. In summary, I would not hesitate to stay at the Mirage again.

We stayed at The Mirage late August/early September 2004 on our first trip to Vegas. The place is wonderful and the atmosphere is the best (we thought) of all the hotels on the Strip—and we visited every hotel on th Strip on that trip. The room was good-sized and very clean, the casino is the nicest on the Strip, and the service was great. The pool has to be the best in Vegas. The only complaint is that during check in, when there were probably 100+ people trying to check in, they didn’t have all the check-in counters open and those who were working were in no hurry whatsoever, something I can’t stand. No sense of urgency at all. That aside, everyone else was very professional and courteous. We’ll definitely stay at The Mirage on our next trip.

In my opinion this is the best overall hotel to stay at. From the fragrant aroma in the lobby, to the splendid rooms, to the dark atmosphere of the casino, to the fabulous pool area this hotel makes you feel special. Room is standard size, nicely appointed, but the bathroom is very small with a tub/shower combination. Pool setting is lush, beautiful, with the most comfortable chairs. If they had MGM’s river-walk it would be the perfect pool. Pool area fairly close to the elevators. Great location on the Strip.

We stayed June 2004 and thought the room was great, the pool was packed but still received good service from the waitress’, our only complaint would be room service it took over an hour and it was 3 a.m.! We ordered 2 steak dinners and didn’t even recieve a steak knife. But over all it was a great hotel.

I’ve always loved the casino and the grounds of the property. We decided to stay a couple nights in Nov ‘03. The room was updated, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was nothing to speak of. We enjoyed our stay, but I wasn’t overly impressed by the rooms. I had heard hundreds of rave reviews over the years, maybe I held my hopes a little high…I felt the room was comparable to one we had at Monte Carlo.

If you want Bellagio or Venetian rates – go ahead and pay them! For the price I paid for a Tower-Deluxe room, I was very satisfied with the accommodations. First time in Vegas for me – we spent 4 nights at Mirage. The room was quiet, clean, and provided us with everything we needed. As far as I could tell, this place had everything that the other places supply as far as amenities. You aren’t going to be in the room except to sleep anyway.

My November 2003 stay at the Mirage lived up to the level I expect from the property. The service has not declined, the rooms are in great shape and the changes to the pool really make it even better. The Mirage often offers low room rates that make it a very attractive option. The closing of the Siegfried and Roy show means the only permanent entertainment at the hotel is Danny Gans. They are adding high speed Internet access to all the rooms. The Mirage is highly recommended.

Has gone downhill since MGM bought it. Stayed there in June 2003. Our room smelled like must. There was hair all over the bathroom. On our second day, all of a sudden neither of the keys would open the door to the room. We used the phone in the hallway to call security and waited for 30 minutes before someone got there. They had to reprogram our keys and the only explanation we got was “sorry, I don’t know why this happened.” Then, we called on the morning of our check out to see if we qualified for any comps and the casino host said “yes, come down to the players desk for your cash back play.” We went down to the players desk with bags in hand as we were on our way to the airport. The lady at the players desk said, “no, sorry, you don’t qualify for anything.” After arguing that their own casino host told me to come down here the lady said, “tell you what I’ll give you two free buffets.” I thought that we’d use them the next time we came to Vegas. I asked how long they’re good for and she said “two days!” How the heck am I suppose to use them when I’m on my way to the airport, I said. “That’s all I can do sir”, was the response. Very disappointed in not only the service, but the buffet has gone way downhill in the last couple years. Won’t be staying there again.

I liked the room as it was clean, un-worn and wasn’t decorated like a trash heap. The bathroom was on the small side, but
I love the fact that there is marble in the bathroom and
the entry way. The view overlooking the pool is what I had
and it is quite nice to overlook. The pool is awesome. The
one thing that angered me was that folks lined up before
the pool opened and then they placed items on the lounge
chairs outside only to leave and go eat breakfast. They
would then come back around 9 or 10 with their lounges
reserved by them and that bothered me. The lounge chairs
don’t have much room between them either, which I didn’t
like, but the pool area is beautiful. The service at
this place is awesome. Everyone is nice and helpful and
willing to go beyond their job title to help you out. I’d
stay here again if the price was right.

While still a fine hotel, the Mirage is showing it’s age. The casino is need of a facelift. Compared to the open spaces at Mandalay Bay and Venetitian, the Mirage casino feels kinda small and crowded and smoky. Some of this clearly is the result of tourirst that continue to come “see” the Mirage. The rooms are great, and the service is good, although not what it was when Wynn ran the place. Another problem is that the resutrant mix is pretty stale. Lots of high end dining options that look dated and overpriced and not much else. The caribe cafe is drab and boring. We can Cal. Pizza Kitchen at home. Bring in something new. The pool is great, but needs to be expanded. The only thing that keeps us coming back are the locations, the rooms, and the price. We eat and gamble elsewhere.

I keep coming back to the Mirage to stay because of the great rooms, awesome pool and accomodating staff. I’ve been in rooms ranging from the standard to tower deluxe to a penthouse suite… While the suite is clearly the superior room, they are all comfortable and the recent remodel means all new carpets and beds, etc…

Nice property, but not in the most premium class. It’s showing its age a bit. Rooms are quite nice and have been refurbished. Bathrooms are lovely. Front desk reasonably efficient. Views can be lovely. Very good customer service. Restaurants are way above average. Danny Gans is a not to be missed show. You’ll never be embarassed bringing someone here. If you want top tier, however, stay at the Venetian or Bellagio.

Don’t know what the previous commenter is talking about.
room service excellent, rooms were not at all noisy, place was not over-priced and in general staying at the Mirage was an excellent experience.
Would probably go back again, but with so many other hotels to choose from I might just try another one for the fun of it.

If you are a light sleeper don’t sleep here! The doors SLAM not close quietly all day & night long! The maid service is terrible! Our bed was not made until late afternoon. I would see the maids in the early AM on our hall. What are they doing?Champane bottle & glasses left for 3 days on our table, Water ring marks on the coffee tables! So disappointment for this was our Anniversary/Vacation!
Food service was ok. We decided to eat a early dinner and waited for a server for several minutes. Finally, after listening to the other customer complain about still waiting for her cocktail, we decided to Pizza Kitchens near the sports bar.(we were starving by now)That was much better service.
I guess the most disappointing experience was when my husband went to play blackjack for several hours…5:30 AM he gets ready to leave the table..you would think the pit boss would toss a free buffet tickets for breakfast.(we were guests in the hotel) NOPE! Well,we decided we will not return there! We booked a week at the Mirage and was mostly diasappointed with everything.
The best part was the secret garden(Sigfrey & Roy were also on vacation). We also booked a helicopter tour with Keith at the front desk. He was the most helpful in our stay!He deserves a raise! We felt his people skills are an asset to the MIRAGE!
Even when we checked out there was a mistake for some show tickets. Sigfrey & Roy show(THEY WEREN’ THERE THAT WEEK!)
My son stayed at the MGM and was treated 10x better! He even got a free buffet! The maid introduced herself after his arrival and told him her name and offered housekeeping service! Now, that class! Having the feeling people care and welcoming to the hotel!
We stayed at the MGM before and the Mirage didn’t compare!
We stopped at several hotels having a week to look around.The RIO is a sure stop to check out! WE have no complaints there! Peope were awesome & friendly. The shop owners were also courteous and helpful. I felt so content at the RIO and the food service resturants were awesome! The servers bend over backwards to help! Our drinks were always filled, dirty plates cleared, and pleasant spacious atmosphere! This a must for the Regular buffet(endless dishes) and the Seafood buffets lovers!
We will go back here! At the RIO, Ron Lucas comedy show is wonderful. I rate this a 10 for all ages! He will keep you smiling all day! A very “human being!” Plus the Mardi Gras show that plays through the day.(free). We just had fun there!
We will go again.

The Mirage seems to have one thing of interests – your money!! They advertise a fridge and fill it with over priced beverages that are electronically tied to your bill. Thats right, pull out a pepsi and $4 gets automatically added to your bill. They evan charge you $20 to work out in the weight room. Big rip off! We will never stay at the Mirage again… I kept waiting to get a bill every time I flushed the toilet.

I had the luxury of staying in one of the tower suites earlier this month. At a great rate of $189. It was a beautiful room, with an even better bathroom. The complimentary toothbrushes and razors were a nice touch also. It has the best view of any room I have ever stayed in. I was able to see the strip, the pool, and the dolphins all at the same time. I would recommend this room to anyone, even at the regular $ 350.00

The thing about the gold glass making the rooms look a bit dreary is true. The bathroom is small and the room is decent size. If you pay more than $99 a night you can do better. I’ve stayed at Mirage, Bally’s, MGM, Luxor, Rio, Riviera, Hard Rock and the Plaza. MGM would be my pick, though I would love to stay at Caesars, Bellagio or the Palms!

We went to the Mirage in July, right after the hotels began adding a surcharge for electric bills. Evidently Mirage was also lowering the refrigeration in the rooms to cut their bills. After changing to 4 rooms, we were still boiling and no effort was given by the management. The nickel slots area was very hot as well to the point of all of us sweating. Even the maintenance crew made comments on how hot it was. Mirage has really gone downhill, as we stay there every year it’s really saddening.

we stayed here from 8/01/01 to 8/06/01. We were booked into a Tower Deluxe room where we stayed for two nights…the afternoon of our second day we returned to our room we discovered that the maid had mistakenly removed something from our room. It was obviously a mistake (no point in going on about it here..it wasn’t “stolen”, just mistakenly removed) and we contacted housekeeping to see if it could be retrieved. No luck. My husband and I didn’t make a big deal about it, we just hoped the item could be found..but an Assistant Manager of Guest relations called and she was so gracious about it and insisted that we allow the hotel to “set things right”. She immediately upgraded and moved us to a beautiful suite on the 26th floor with a full view of the volcano for the remainder of our stay. The Mirage staff still cares about their guests (contrary to what some say since Wynn bailed). We had a wonderful time. We recommend booking a Tower Deluxe SUITE if you can afford it and if they offer an upgrade for $50.00 to $100.00 per night…TAKE IT! It’s definitely worth it…the bathrooms alone in these suites are the size of the ENTIRE regular Deluxe size room.

The Mirage is indeed a beautiful hotel with outstanding service. We were able
to check in at 11 a.m. After a wait of only a few minutes at the check-in desk,
we were given our room keys and directed to our room, which had a great
view of the volcano and part of the strip. The room was spotless, and while
not huge, it was very nicely decorated, showing no signs of wear and tear.
The housekeeping staff did a great job of maintaining our room throughout our
stay. ALL employees were very courteous and accommodating,

The public areas of the hotel are beautiful—and beautifully kept—with many
gorgeous plants, trees and waterfalls, wonderful decorative features and design
details . All the restaurants that we visited—Moongate, The Buffet, Noodles, The
Caribe Cafe and The Coffee Bean—were far above average.

If there was anything negative about our stay, it was that there were hordes 
of people at certain times of day in the main public areas-even more so than 
the usual hordes of people in Las Vegas during a peak time of year-due to the 
numerous meetings that were headquartered at the hotel's huge convention 
facility.  This is an occurance that could just as easily take place at any of 
several other hotels on the strip, but when we  return to the Mirage, we will 
certainly check to see if there are any large meetings sheduled before we 
book into this lovely hotel.

I stayed at the Mirage from 6/25-29/01 and the stay was excellent. Check-in was swift with helpful staff. Baggage handlers sent the baggage to the room within minutes. The room was clean, large and had an excellent view of the Volcano. The pool was excellent. Attentive pool-side drink servers, water was clean and plenty of deck chairs. Restuarants had excellent food and service. The gaming tables were loose but I can’t stand the blackjack automatic shufflers—they want to make it hard for you to win their money if you want to apply the laws of probability instead of intuition. The “War” table is brainless but easy to win if you can count cards.
If you need a limo to take you around town, I strongly recommend Vegas Limo (www.vegaslimo.com), call Brock Lewis at 702-604-3434 and tell them that Steve from Denver recommended LV Limo. They are reputable and easy to deal with.

Another great stay at the Mirage. I love this place and it has a certain Vegas magic for me. Maybe it’s Clark Griswold’s ghost. I don’t know. Long live the Mirage!

Nice rooms .but a little bit too tacky in my opininon .heavy colors ,heavy curtains ..nice ..but i won’t call it elegant …luxurious but not elegant .Very clean ,and always quite.In the morning the golden glass of the window makes this illusion like you are in a higly dusty/polluted/hot atmosphere soon as the sun comes out ,and this sensation was the worst part .

The service was topnotch as is usual for a Steve Wynn property.Let’s hope that doesn’t change.The rooms have good views but are little above a Marriot or Holiday Inn as far as size and furnishings.The bathrooms are not up to par with many other high quality places in LV.Good if you get a decent price.

While my room isn’t anything in special in terms of size or features, it had a great view of the volcano and the folks here at the Mirage were very nice and helpful.
