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 "It's no longer the most innovative hotel in town, but the 3,044-room property continues to reinvent itself."
Fodor's "Several upscale restaurants, including STACK and BLT Burger, give the Mirage an impressive slate of both high-end and casual eateries." Full review

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 "While not nearly as fashionable as it used to be, The Rio still makes a reasonable attempt to rival the Strip giants."
Fodor's "In Brazil, Rio is party central, and in Las Vegas so is this sprawling resort just west of the Strip." Full review

"The roomy standard suites at the 2,526-room Rio sleep up to five, making them a tremendous deal for small groups." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Perfect for visitors who want the total resort experience without the congestion of the Strip."
Time Out "In a bid to appeal to a younger audience, the all-suites Rio hired Prince to play here in 2006 and 2007, while Pure Management Group brought in hipster bowling lounge Lucky Strike Lanes." Full review
Star Service "This place is pitched to partiers, from the Voodoo Lounge on the 51st floor to the floor show on the ceiling of the casino. " Full review
Gayot "This hotel doesn't lack for creature comforts. Just check out the 2,563 spacious suites, sprawling 120,000-square-foot casino and eighteen-hole championship Rio Secco Golf Club."
BlackBook "The Rio is an all-suite hotel: Rooms are done in light, buttery tones and all have refrigerators and separate seating areas."
Lonely Planet "This Carnaval-themed hotel just off the Strip attracts families, poker players and bachelor/ette parties." Full review
Zagat "Decked out with hoop chandeliers, an open kitchen, colorful Day of the Dead decor and a long bar, this vibrant stop within the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino turns out traditional Mexican fare." Full review
