Advantages: Amazing standard of accommodation

Disadvantages: We had to leave eventually

Designed by Steve Wynn (my hero) along with Treasure Island and Bellaggio this is a most amazing Hotel & Resort.

Fronted by cascading waterfalls and a Volcano which erupts very frequently each night , but this is just the beginning.

Step in side and you are confronted by a tropical rainforest under a huge glass dome. Walk to the check in area and this is backed by a massive aquarium that keeps you fascinated whilst waiting for your rooms.

The rooms are superbly decorated in a wide range of pastel colours and styles , out of the back of the Hotel are a few Lanai bungalows for the chosen ones. Money can't buy these , you are invited to stay in them.

The swimming pool area is in itself a Tropical sensation with waterfalls cascading all around. Adjacent to this is the Dolphin Habitat and Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden. The former has three pools with about a dozen Dolphins (all rescued or born there , none captured). The latter is a collection of big Cats (Tigers Lions) and a few other exotic animals seen in the unbelievable Siegfried and Roy Show.

This is quite expensive at circa $100 per ticket but is a classic not to be missed Las Vegas spectacular.

Turning to Grub

The usual all you can eat Buffet , very high standard but for a few dollars cheaper you are almost as satisfied with the Treasure Island Buffet.

Kokomo's very high quality Steak Restaurant, Mikado - Classic Teppanyaki cooking and Moongate - Cantonese & Szechuan being clearly my favourite three of their Restaunrants.

In summary , if you can afford the circa $80/$100 a night for a mid-week Room or say $150 for a weekend Room , please give The Mirage a try , you will not be sorry. But I am biased.
