text: I am a fan of Mirage.  It may not be the best out there, but it def gets the job done.  Its above average in surrounding and amenities and best of all is in the dead center of the strip action.  By far the best bang for your buck.  They have a great pool and restaurant selection, but since you are in the middle of it all, you can always cross the street if you need a little Denny's action.  \n\nThe only downsides were on the technical operations side.  Of 3 door keys I was issued, only 1 worked part time.  My players card which I had re-issued 4 times during my stay worked like a broken clock when inserting in slots or poker machines.  While not the end of the world.  Def annoying.\n\nMirage is part of the M Life group which runs the loyalty card rating system for their group of hotels.  The comp system is very complicated and stingy.  Loosen your purse strings.   4 days of playing craps a few hours a day and I didn't even get a free lunch?\n\nA fridge and/or microwave would be nice in the room as well, not as an extra charge. Banging people out for $28 a day \"resort fee should cover the appliances.  Its funny, I wanted to give this place 4 stars but after going over my review, its def a 3.\n\nMirage, if it wasn't for your sweet location......\n\nMirage - In (but not exclamation point in) so semi in.  (that's what she said)
