The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas

By Chris Linch

On my recent trip to Las Vegas we stayed at the Mirage Hotel. The hotel is owned by MGM and it is a nice property that I would say is worth the money. The stay overall was perfect. I would say that if you are booking this hotel, just get the standard room. If you are getting a suite, then do that. You have to go to the Secret Garden. The hotel decor is fabulous.

If you are going to book, dont pay the extra fifty to stay on a private floor number 24 and 25 unless you are booking a suite. Though the rooms have jetted tubs, they are much smaller than just the standard room. You have a fifty percent chance of getting a strip view, though you probably would have to pay extra for that also.

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.

This hotel gets a thumbs up from me. If you are wanting to stay on the strip in a good location this hotel is perfect. I still say the standard room is more worth the money than the upgraded room.
