The Restaurant at The Mirage Hotel & Casino

"Dining options in the past few years have gotten on par with the rest of the Strip: Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak focuses on good, properly-sourced meat cooked over an open fire; the newish Portofino is inching its way into becoming one of the best Italian restaurants in town; The Pantry serves as the 24-hour coffee shop, but feels more like you’re eating in your mom’s kitchen; Carnegie Deli still serves some of the best football-sized, New York–style pastrami sandwiches in town"

"Although some of the guest rooms remain untouched (read: dated), lively restaurants like New American steakhouse Stack and the Adam Tihany–designed Cravings buffet have reinvigorated the place"

"Several upscale restaurants, including STACK and BLT Burger, give the Mirage an impressive slate of both high-end and casual eateries"

"“World-class entertainment” (think big-name comedians and a Beatles-themed Cirque du Soleil show) that’s “in the middle of all the action” makes this “elegant” Strip property “worth every penny”, as do the “wonderful” pool area, “fun” casino, numerous restaurants, “beautiful” atrium with foliage and waterfalls, a dolphin habitat, a 20,000-gallon lobby aquarium and the iconic erupting faux volcano; the “super” rooms boast “amazing” views, while “helpful and knowledgeable” staffers deliver “excellent” service"

"The Italian restaurant, Onda Risorante, has been replaced by Portofino Ristorante"
