I probably wouldn't go back to the Mirage unless it was free. The smell of...coconuts? is disturbing, the machines on the casino floor are old with very little variety, and the staff was not very friendly (the exception was the meeting area where the staff are lovely). I stayed during the summer in gazillion degree heat, and the air conditioners weren't working very well. It is also miserable to get anywhere from the Mirage. If you walk, you have to walk around a bunch of other properties and cannot go in a straight line. if you take a cab you will pay a fortune, because traffic near the Mirage does not move. Ever. And your cab fare just keeps clicking, clicking, clicking, up near 30.00. The room was nice enough (but LOUD), so I didn't feel like I could go all the way down to one star. However, there are just too many better places to stay than to go to this place ever again.
