The Mirage Hotel and Casino is a newly renovated tropically-themed resort located at the center of the Las Vegas Strip. The entrance of the resort is landscaped with palm trees, rich foliage and more than four acres of lagoons with towering waterfalls centered around a 54-foot high volcano that spews smoke and fire 100 feet above the water every evening at regular intervals, with flames that illuminate the hotel. Situated at the back of the hotel, next to the swimming pool area, is a Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat with two and one-half million-gallon pools. Also created for the Mirage by Siegfried and Roy is the White Tiger Habitat, a tropical location featuring the exotic cats.
Where soft, sunny days give way to passionate nights. You are invited to experience the Life Exotic. The Mirage's visitor rooms feature rich hues and imported fabrics in a sophisticated ambiance of chic comfort. Wonderful views of the tropical pool, grandiose mountains or Las Vegas Strip. The exploding volcano erupts every 15 minutes from 7 pm until midnight, shooting fire sky-scraping. Inside the hotel's front entrance is a verdant rain forest with palm trees, cascading waterfalls, meandering lagoons, and exotic tropical vegetation. A enormous aquarium buzzing with leopard sharks, puffer fish, and about 90 other species. The Mirage hotel has an outdoor Secret Garden, counting a dolphin attraction, including the white tiger display.
This is the resort to stay if you want to feel like a high roller without spending like one. Perfect, reasonably priced rooms are done with botanical prints and yellow, cedar, and cranberry hues; they all have old-fashioned looking custom made work desks, and suites are decked in imported silks and hand-loomed carpets. Bathrooms have marble accents and luxurious appointments. The salon features massage therapies, beauty treatments, hydrotherapies. Live entertainment includes the new performance by Cirque du Soleil: THE BEATLES LOVE; the show explores the content of the songs as interpreted by innovative performances from a cast of 60 international artists. A youthful, raw energy is channeled through aerial performance, extreme sports and urban freestyle dance. Mirage is as well home to singer-comedian Danny Gans, and touring headline entertainers.
The casino offers slot machines, poker tables, table games, a high-limit lounge, and a race and sports book with an overall atmosphere of sophisticated fun. The poker room has a planetary reputation for first-class action, low and high. The look is rain forest rustic: pits are distinguished by separate thatch roofs. There's yet a verdant tropical garden leading into the main casino to clean your lungs with fresh air. The cumulative effect is completely vitalizing for a casino.
The Mirage sets a high standard for itself and for every other luxury hotel in Vegas. Its timeless beauty, tropical surroundings and exceptional service make it one of the most beloved hotels on the Las Vegas Strip.
