(5) Mirage vs (4) Cosmopolitan
The Mirage is the best. It is centrally located, has an excellent pool, a decent nightclub, and an affordable room. I’ve stayed there multiple times and have yet to come away disappointed. That and the fact that it was home to one of my favorite Vegas movies, Vegas Vacation validate the high seeding.
I’ve been there during the NBA Playoffs and found the sports book to be both spacious and accommodating. I’ve been there on my birthday and found the pool to be both lively and relaxing. I’ve been there during NBA All Star Weekend and found the club to be both spacious and lively. There’s nothing bad I can write about the Mirage except for the fact that I am not writing this review from the Mirage.
In summary, the Mirage demonstrates it is possible to have all the great things that Vegas provides without the obscene costs or risk of isolation.
This is Las Vegas!
