Our first time in Las Vegas. I read many reviews and selected the Mirage Hotel.
Some family members stayed in Harrah's (across the street), and Paris Hotel.
Harrah's has been renovated and was nicer than Mirage. Rooms were considerably nicer and AC was excellent. Paris Hotel was so nice too. Lots more to do in the common areas. Shows, bands, and excitement going on along with the casino atmosphere. I would select either of those two over the Mirage on our next visit. The Mirage was a bit more costly. Most of the establishment is casino. Both our rooms were warm and service checked ours out but could not get temperature under 72. Casino and hallways were cooler than the rooms. The mirage is comparable to a Holiday Inn. Quite standard and I personally would rate it as a 3. Our age group ran from 19 - 67. All agreed they would prefer other hotels. Sorry Mirage.
