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."

"The rates are not bad for such well-equipped rooms."
Frommer's
"As long as prices hold true (as always, they can vary), this hotel is one of the best bargains in town, despite the location." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"French Quarter-themed hotel, with green-shuttered windows and wrought-iron balconies."
Time Out
"The theme at the Orleans is more Disneyland than French Quarter. Still, the locals don't seem to mind, mostly because the Vegas-style action is very real." Full review
Star Service
"Wedged between Home Depot and Adult Emporium, this locale is far from ideal, but inside the hotel the mood is lively, riffing on Mardi Gras 24/7." Full review
Gayot
"When this resort opened in December 1996, it had 810 rooms and 30 suites in a 21-story tower."
BlackBook
"The Orleans' Big Easy theme is largely outside, with the enormous, boxy casino painted up as pastel row houses with wrought-iron balconies."
Zagat
3.7
"An "excellent" West of Strip option that has "just about anything you want to do"."
Lonely Planet
"Tastefully appointed French-provincial rooms are good-value 'petite suites,' with fitness center access, on-site childcare, a movie theater and a bowling alley." Full review
The Telegraph
8.0
"A bargain by Las Vegas casino standards. This Mardi Gras-themed hotel is a short shuttle ride west of the Strip. Families will find plenty to amuse kids here." Full review
