Ive been to Vegas twice, and both times have stayed at the Mirage. There is no need to stay elsewhere. You want to talk about the "prime" location, it doesnt get better than this. Right smack in the middle of the strip, easy access to anywhere. From the moment my G.F. arrived, the staff is very friendly. We arrived around noon and our room we booked was ready (did not book a strip view because I was going to try for a room upgrade). I cant remember the guys name at the front desk that we had, but when I asked for a room upgrade, he did not hesitate at all and gladly upgraded us. We just had to wait a few hours because the room was not ready. We had no problem with that because that gave us some time to go get some lunch. By the time we were done eating, our room was ready. The room was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and even though the tv was acting up a tad, no complaints at all with the Mirage. The hotel/casino is very easy to navigate. The Mirage pool is the king of pools. Staying at the Mirage just for the pool is worth it. When you see it you completely forget you are in the middle of the desert. It is a complete relaxation atmosphere. The water is the perfect temperature. Especially when you are sitting in the Vegas sun, you just go right into the pool and lounge around. The water temperature is absolutely perfect! The pool area fills in very quickly, so if you want a good seat in the prime real estate, make sure to get there as soon as the pool opens. Being there early is totally worth it. A lot of people save chairs for others, and a lot of chairs just sit there with towels on them with noone using them so just scope out the area and wait until you see someone get up. We got to the pool late one day and some little, friendly old lady had saved 7 seats!!! and she was there alone, but when the guy next to her left, she moved over to the end of the row. It was actually really funny to hear talk on the phone and say she had taken 7 seats. As we saw this guy leaving, we walked over and with no hesitation she gladly gave up 2 of her seats for us. Not to mention, there are some good food spots for quick eats in the hotel, including BLT burger, Carnegie and Blizz frozen yogurt. When you find a good spot, you stick with it, and both times I have not had any issues with the Mirage. This is my hotel choice and will not even think about staying elsewhere.
