Review of the Mirage Hotel Las Vegas

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 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.

We went to the Secret Garden which is a zoo just out back of the hotel. I believe admission is $20 for the day. They have white tigers, a white lion, and dolphins. It is worth the money for what you get. They have up close views of the animals, and they have trainers that will tell you everything about them. Everyone there is real friendly. Plus right now they have white tiger cubs and 2 baby dolphins.

The hotel is decorated in tropical decor. They have a Beatles nightclub called Revolution, and many stores within the hotel for shopping. The hotel is also center strip which gives you access to all kinds of great hotels. We went next door and saw the pirate show at Treasure Island. There is also a revamped volcano show at the mirage, but we missed it because we were too busy.

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.
