Q: The dealers and staff were very rude and unfriendly. Nobody wants to sit there and gamble when the dealers are a bunch of pricks to the guests. I sat down and said hello to a few Dealers and they didn't say a word back. They did manage to check my ID 5 times (Each new Dealer that rotated in did this) and I'm 30 years old, and I'd been sitting there at the same table for over an hour. I could have done without that. The cocktail waitresses were vacant and did not go out of their way to deliver drinks on time nor were they very accommodating. Place looks nice but so do a lot of other casinos in Vegas. I'm taking my business elsewhere. OPTIONS:

Q: Decided to go for Round 2 for a light dinner this time. I found the food and service to be superior to our last experience. The husband and I shared the mini mushroom pan fry, and I see why it is their signature dish. It was so good that I will not be sharing next time. We also had the dungeness crab stack. This is pricey ($20) for a small plate, but it was fabulous. We had the cuppa' red hot chocolate to finish. It was a to-die-for dessert. A chocolate pot de creme (custard) with chipotle crema and a chocolate chipotle cookie. Spicy, rich, decadent, all good things. Our server was excellent from start to finish. This time I am confident we will return, just maybe not at lunch. OPTIONS:

Q: So my sister and I dragged my good natured husband to the Donny and Marie show at the Flamingo on a recent visit to Las Vegas. I will admit to also having a little crush on Donny during my younger years...okay maybe my older years too. We were seated on the floor at a booth 2 people we did not know. Booth was a tight squeeze and the leg room was little to none. The showroom did get a little warm which was something that is a problem for the menopause crowd which even Marie put herself in. Other than that, the show was wonderful. Started on time. Loved the singing. Marie's voice is amazing. What range. Donny still wows a crowd. I know they are entertainers but I have seen ones that don't seem to like their job. Donny and Marie seems to enjoy their job and each other. Hardest part of the night was keeping my sister from throwing her panties at Donny. Show was a delight. Only downside was dear husband tweeted as per the preshow slide show to go to the meet and greet afterwords and because he turned his phone down we did not realize that we were invited to the Meet and greet until well after the show....Darn!!! That would have completed a teen age bucket list item. OPTIONS:

Q: I was pleasantly surprised with my recent stay at the Mirage and would gladly stay at this hotel again. LOVES: 1) LOCATION: Located on the strip, closer to the North end. As any of you regular Vegas goers know, location is everything! For this particular Vegas trip the majority of our plans had us at the North end of the strip which made it convenient for us to get around by foot or taxi. 2) FRONT DESK/LOBBY AREA: I love love love the pretty (and huge) aquarium situated right behind the front desk. It runs the length of the front desk area, so as you're waiting in the long line to check in or check out at least you've got a lovely view of the pretty aquarium to keep you entertained. 3) ROOM RATES: I usually book MGM or the Gold Coast for Vegas trips because of their bargain rates, but when fellow Yelper Ingrid R told me about the good rates at the Mirage I checked it out. Our room rates for our stay were as follows: Fri 12/21 $72 Sat 12/22 $72 Sun 12/23 $56 However, keep in mind as with any other hotel in Vegas the above room rates did not include the daily $25 resort fee nor the 12% room tax. So including all the fees and taxes the entire stay came to $309. 4) ROOMS: Although me and my boyfriend's room was all the way at the end of the hall, we scored a corner room that was slightly larger than our other friends' rooms and had better views because of the semi wraparound windows. My favorite part about the room was the abundance of mirrors they had, aside from the mirror in the bathroom. As soon as we walked in, I noticed a full length mirror to my left (absolute must have in any Vegas hotel room); the mirrored closet; and a rather large hanging mirror on the wall next to the bathroom door. Regardless of who was in the bathroom and how long the bathroom was in use, the mirrors came in handy for the other one to still get ready. Enough about the mirrors lol, the rest of the room was nice: simple modern decor; comfy bed; large flat screen tv; etc. Although the bathroom was pretty small compared to other hotels I've stayed at. 5) BLT: You'll have to read my BLT review for more details, but what a great find and soooooo convenient!!! Good food & awesome shakes!!! The group of us ended up eating here multiple times during our Vegas trip. Aside for the small bathroom in our room, there really isn't anything to dislike about the Mirage. I'm not sure when our next trip to Vegas will be but I'm keeping the Mirage in my list of go-to hotels to stay at. OPTIONS:
