This past weekend I booked a surprise birthday trip to the Mirage for my fiance's 28th birthday. We had a group of 4 -- 3 girls, 1 boy.\n\nROOM: The room was very spacious! For 4 people we had more than enough space and never felt crowded. We were located on the 8th floor, right next to the vending machine. I can see where most people would think this is annoying, but we loved it --we frequently wanted ice, sodas, etc. The halls got a little loud late at night, but it was no bother to us since we were usually up late having fun anyway. The bathroom was pretty small. The sink area was very nice, but the tub/shower combo was a little dated. I would give the room a 5/5.\n\nCASINO: I was a little disappointed with the casino. It was dark and dull. The dealers were great and friendly and the cocktail waitresses were very prompt. Maybe I'm bitter because I lost all my money! But honestly, I would prefer to gamble at the other casinos. the vibe here was a little tired. I would give the casino a 3/5. \n\nPOOL: The pool itself was fabulous! Its large with lots of chairs and space in the sun! Our group had a relatively easy time finding 4 chairs all together, even on the busy weekend days. The cocktail waitresses were friendly, beautiful and prompt. Drinks were typical Vegas price, $50 for 8 beers, $20 for a blended drink. I give the pool a 5/5.\n\nCON #1: We were charged for multiple 'snacks' in the room that we did not use. This is due to them being on a sensor and them being touched or bumped around. I understand and appreciate the convenience of the snacks, but this was a little annoying. As I was using express checkout I noticed the charges, called the front desk and the attendant took the charges off the bill, no questions asked, very helpful. I tried to express checkout again but now I was getting an error to call the front desk and verbally checkout. In the end, the staff was very friendly and everything was corrected.\n\nCON#2: \\One day as our group was sitting by the pool, one of the staff members/promoters for BARE approached the group of 3 girls next to us to invite them to come into the lounge. The group of 3 explained they actually had a large group, 12 girls, and asked if they could all get a spot inside. The staff member/promoter then asked the girls if there were any 'bigger girls' in their group, because he probably wouldn't be able to get them in for free, they would have to pay. He also then explained that its not uncommon for a group of good-looking girls to get turned away from 1 OAK nightclub if they had a 'bigger girl' in their party, or they would ask the 'bigger girl' to leave. I understand this may be a common practice at a lot of clubs, but I was shocked at the staff member's lack of discretion. The group of girls, along with everyone in my group, were stunned. The girls declined their invitation to BARE. My group also changed our plans to go to 1 OAK that night. Manners go a long way and maybe some of the staff members/promoters need a refresher.
