The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas

By Chris Linch

During my recent trip to Las Vegas I stayed at the Mirage Hotel. This hotel is owned by the MGM company. The property is decorated beautifully and is worth the money. My stay was perfect. I would say that if you are going to book this property, however, just pay for the standard, don't go for the upgraded room unless you are getting suite. Check out the Secret Garden while you are there.

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.

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 hotel decor is that of tropical destinations. They have palm trees and such through out. The also have a Beatle's nightclub called Revolution that is neat. They have many stores within the hotel in case you need to shop. They are located right at Center Strip which gives you easy access to everything. There is a liquor store across the street that will save you money on buying drinks. There is also a Volcano show but we had no time to see it, we did see the Pirate show next door at Treasure Island.

I give this hotel a thumbs up, or five stars. If you want to stay in a good location on the strip, the Mirage should be one of your options. Like I said though, just book the standard, I think it is more of a value when it comes to space.
