The Mirage sets a high standard for itself and for every other luxury hotel in Vegas. Its timeless beauty, tropical surroundings and exceptional service make it one of the most beloved hotels on the Las Vegas Strip.

Upon entering the legendary property, visitors hear the soothing sounds of waterfalls, smell the exotic flora and can stand on a bridge under the 90-foot-high glass atrium while taking in the tropical surroundings. Even the carpet in the casino looks tropical. You are in the Mirage, but it feels like Bali.

The extraordinary hotel experience continues with the breathtaking front desk area, which features a 20,000-gallon saltwater aquarium that houses 60 species of tropical fish. The 2,763 hotel rooms are nicely appointed, while the beautifully landscaped pool area is the ideal place to spend afternoons before heading inside, where a spa, impressionist extraordinaire Danny Gans and numerous restaurants -- including the delightful Carnegie Deli -- await. The Mirage is also home to Cirque du Soliel's LOVE and the Beatles-themed Revolution Lounge.

True to its history as a pioneer in the gaming and hospitality industry, the Mirage casino is large, easy to navigate and home to thousands of slot machines, dozens of table games and one of the city's popular poker rooms.

The tigers and dolphins in Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat feel right at home in this tropical environment. The Mirage also is home to one of the best free attractions on the Strip: the mesmerizing volcano.
