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."

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."

"This hip resort, located half an hour from the Strip, boasts an impressive pool, notable spa, multiplex movie theater, and 72-lane bowling alley." Full review
Time Out
"This billion-dollar operation pays homage to the classic resort architecture of the early 1950s and '60s as well as the natural landscape that surrounds it." Full review
Star Service
"This hotel has the kind of off-center appeal that makes Lake Las Vegas' resorts so popular, though Red Rock focuses on a younger, livelier demographic." Full review
Gayot
"Billed as both a retreat and a center of entertainment, this exciting resort located in Summerlin, Nevada (just ten miles west of the Las Vegas Strip) opened to rave reviews in 2006."
BlackBook
"The Red Rock Mountains offer a surprisingly different backdrop for Las Vegas hospitality than the high-rise complexes of the Strip."
Zagat
