Should I Stay at the Mirage in Las Vegas?

By Chris Linch

I recently visited Las Vegas and stayed at the Mirage. This property is owned by the MGM and it is a neat property. I would say overall the stay was excellent. The standard room is much bigger than their private floor rooms, with the exception of suites. The Secret Garden is a must see. The hotel is decorated beautifully.

If you are going to stay at the Mirage don't pay for the rooms with the jetted tub. The standard room is a much bigger room and it is $50 cheaper. Don't get me wrong the jetted tub is nice, but I like the space of the standard room. You have between a 25 to 50 percent chance of getting a strip view, however I am pretty sure they charge extra for that as most do.

The Secret Garden is a habitat for white tigers, a white lion, and dolphins. I believe the admission was around twenty dollars per person. It is a really neat thing to see. You get up close to the animals, and never have I seen a place where the trainers are so friendly and will tell you everything about their animals. Right now they have five tiger cubs and 2 baby dolphins.

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.
