Rough Guide
"The public areas downstairs remain impressive, the pool complex is nicely laid out, and you get to watch the volcano from your bedroom window."
Frommer's
"In many ways, The Mirage invented the concept of the modern Las Vegas resort." Full review
Concierge

Fodor's

"With an emphasis on the exotic that pervades everything from the architecture to the tasteful tropical decor, the Mirage is one of the premier hotels on the Vegas Strip." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Conveniently located in the center of the Strip, the Mirage is famous for its tropical atrium, pretty pool with cascading waterfall, and Siegfried & Roy’s white tigers."
Time Out
"With its Polynesian village decor, lush landscaping, lagoon-like pool and waterfalls, the $650-million Mirage set the standard for modern resorts when it was opened by Steve Wynn in 1989." Full review
Star Service
"This vast resort was one of the first to define Las Vegas' 21st-century aesthetic: sexy and cinematic—in this case with an erupting volcano that officially signaled The Strip's first real hotel boom." Full review

Admittedly, rooms below the 10th floor lack memorable views, so request a unit on a high floor with a view of The Strip.
Gayot
"Transforming this desert resort into a lush tropical paradise, a rainforest dominates the atrium lobby, and a 20,000-gallon aquarium captivates guests at the front desk."
BlackBook
"The Mirage's tropical paradise theme flows throughout the property, from the front entrance's volcano to the check-in desk's giant aquarium to the pool's palm-treed cabanas."

"Spending a night or two in this vast smoked-glass pyramid... still counts among the great Las Vegas experiences."
Frommer's
"Kitsch worshipers were dealt a blow when the people behind this hotel came to the inexplicable decision to eliminate most of the Egypt theme from the inside of it." Full review
Concierge
"Luxor has never fulfilled its potential as a top-notch property, but its aggressive restaurant and nightlife redo... has put it back on the radar screens of higher-end visitors."
Fodor's
"Welcome to the land of the Egyptians—Vegas style. This modern-world wonder is topped with a xenon light beam that burns brighter than any other in the world." Full review
Lonely Planet
"As the Luxor slowly sheds its kitschy Egyptian theme, guest rooms feature vaguely art-deco furnishings, plus marble bathrooms." Full review

Avoid lower-floor rooms in the pyramid, which vibrate all night long thanks to booming LAX nightclub downstairs.
Travel + Leisure
"Featuring a 30-story black glass exterior topped with the world’s brightest light beam, the Luxor is one of the most recognizable buildings on the Strip." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Its 30-story pyramid and giant sphinx have been Vegas landmarks since 1993."
Time Out
"Second only to New York New York in terms of the absurdity of its exterior, the Luxor impresses on scale long before you've set foot inside it." Full review
Star Service
"This is a safe choice for its prime location, nightlife, and the interesting pyramid rooms." Full review
Gayot
"This property can stack nine Boeing 747s in its 350-foot-tall pyramid's 29-million-square-foot atrium, which is encased in some eleven acres of glass."
