Booked a 4 night stay Sept 20-24; We have been to Las Vegas many times and have stayed at several different places. The Mirage may be the best bargain on the strip. Check-in on a busy Saturday was seamless. There is a dedicated check-in line for MLife players club members and the entire process took less than 5 minutes. We were given a 20th floor strip view room. The only downside was noise from the volcano show every 30 minutes until midnight. However, a room change request was handled quickly. The room was clean, quiet with a very comfortable bed. Housekeeping was superb. Food service was excellent at the Pantry, the Deli, and the Buffet, which was one of the best we have ever experienced. Every employee we encountered was pleasant & courteous; at no time did we feel less than valued guests. The front desk personnel are thorough and professional. Kiosk check-out was also easy & fast. All things considered, this was the best place we have ever stayed on the strip. Although this property is 25 years old, it is very well maintained and managed. Yes, other newer mega resorts may have 600 sq foot rooms along with outrageous food & drink prices, but the Mirage provides everything required for an excellent vacation experience for less expense.
