The Mirage

You may not believe your eyes upon encountering a tropical oasis in the desert, but this hotel is no mirage ??? it’s The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip. Timeless beauty, tropical surroundings and exceptional service make The Mirage one of the most beloved hotels in the city.

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. You are in the Mirage, but it feels like Bali.

In the lobby, guests waiting to check in are entertained by the aquatic life in a 20,000-gallon saltwater aquarium behind the front desk. Nearly 1,000 marine life forms, including sharks, stingrays, porcupine fish, eels, sea bass and puffer fish call this aquarium home. A full-service concierge at the back of the lobby provides help to anyone seeking it, not just hotel guests.

The hotel rooms are nicely appointed, wh ile the beautifully landscaped pool area is the ideal place to spend afternoons. In the warmer months, guests can enjoy VIP service and topless sunbathing at the secl u ded pool club Bare. Nearby, the maj estic wildcats and playful bottlenose dolphins in Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat feel right at home in their tropical environment.
