Mirage

Located in the heart of the Strip, this 30-story hi-rise features 3,044 luxuriously appointed guest rooms and suites, several award-winning specialty restaurants, one of the best swimming pools in town, a spa, and a salon. Entertainment comes from two showrooms featuring illusionists Siegfried & Roy and impressionist Danny Gans, plus animal exhibits, a small zoo, a dolphin habitat, and a faux volcano out front that erupts every 15-minutes after dark. The rooms are elegant and tasteful, usually starting at around $129 per night.
