Rough Guide

If you're seeking a blow-out, be sure to ask about discount packages.
Travel + Leisure
"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."

Rough Guide
"Although it’s still considered among the hippest casinos in town... The Palms is in many respects just a presentable but rather dull locals’ casino."
Concierge
"To enjoy the Palms, you must be a fan of "the scene." If you're not, you will despise this property."
Fodor's
"Rooms at the Palms are large, opulent, and modern, with some unusual amenities for Las Vegas, such as beds with ultra-firm mattresses, duvets, and ample minibars." Full review
i
For a tamer Palms experience, ask for a room at Palms Place, which has a private pool and separate restaurant.
Lonely Planet
"Playpen suites are tailored for bachelor and bachelorette parties, or escape to the high-rise Palms Place."
i
Request an upper floor to score a Strip view.
DK Eyewitness
"Palms’ 40-story Fantasy Tower has stunning views of Las Vegas. Its Playboy Club is also a big draw."
Star Service
"The modern styling in the large casino, hardwood floors instead of carpeting, and exposed duct work in lieu of chandeliers make a fitting backdrop to the latest in casino technology." Full review
i
Request rooms above the seventh floor to avoid nightclub noise.
Gayot
"The creator of and brains behind this resort, the impeccable George Maloof, wanted a hip place near the Strip, for every type of play and every style of player."
