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."

"The 2,444-room Stratosphere Hotel and Casino... is on the northern outskirts of the Strip... but it's still a great pick for the price." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The 2,427 guest rooms are basic but comfortable; “select” rooms contain updated amenities like marble floors and flat-screen TV’s." Full review
Time Out
"The Stratosphere strives to be a destination resort out of necessity: it's between the Strip and Fremont Street, essentially no-man's land." Full review
Star Service
"This hotel, the northern anchor for The Strip, is hard to miss, even in this city of horizon-hogging landmarks." Full review

Accommodations are in the Premier, World and Regency towers, with those in the Premier tower being the most requested for their decor and views from high floors.
Gayot
"This place is good news for bargain hunters --- the service is friendly, and the prices and betting action are great."
Fodor's
"Down below, in two hotel towers, standard rooms were renovated in late 2010 and are now downright sumptuous for the price." Full review
Lonely Planet
"The bland hotel rooms are not actually inside the tallest tower west of the Mississippi River but they're usually a bargain." Full review
