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."

"Aimed especially at business travellers, this hip modern condohotel makes a peaceful retreat at the heart of CityCenter."
Frommer's
"Although a part of CityCenter, Vdara seems to be a world away both physically and spiritually from the rest of the eye-popping visual splendor that makes up the complex." Full review
Fodor's
"This boutique (read: low-key) property is actually a hotel-condo, with beautiful independently owned suites that are arranged like efficiency apartments." Full review
Oyster
Luxury
"It's a modern, sumptuous hotel with impressive rooms (they're all suites), a lobby bar, and a decent pool." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The interior was designed by Karim Rashid in florid gold and pink, and has a biomorphic pink settee breaking through the glass exterior wall, literally bridging inside and out." Full review
Star Service
"The all-suite 57-story Vdara, in the City Center complex on The Strip, is in the eye of the hurricane, an all-suite, smoke-free, nongaming hotel offering a sense of refuge from the clang and clamor." Full review
BlackBook
"The Vdara is one of City Center's non-gaming hotels, trading the tables for deluxe suites, jumbo conference rooms, and upscale shopping."
Zagat
