The Mirage Hotel and Casino is located in the middle of a lot of great hotel casinos, but don't make the mistake of thinking that they're close. They make it a LONG walk between casinos to encourage you to stay and spend where you are.
Rooms at the Mirage are large and comfortable. They have mini bar, coffee maker and a hair dryer.
The Mirage pool has a jungle setting, water slides, and waterfalls. There are plenty of chaises and a good amount of shade (critical in the desert heat). The poolside drink service is fairly attentive. The pool is great for kids and you'll find that they love staring at the white tigers and lobby aquaria for hours.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try out the spa services, but they seem to have almost everything you can imagine.
Oh, yeah, they have a huge casino...you can't miss it. There's nothing more notable about it than any other.
The hotel has a number of restaurants. I dined alone in the main coffee shop and had better service than I've ever had in a casino. They were friendly and attentive.
There are a lot of grand casinos in Las Vegas, it’s the service that lets this one stand out from the crowd.
