text: The Mirage is typical Las Vegas, glitzy and garish but in a good way.  I stayed there for one night on a recent trip but be forewarned the casino doesn't have any Wizard Of Oz slots (what no flying monkey bonus?)  The food is uber expensive in the hotel but the rooms are nicely redecorated with sort of a Laugh In retro feel and are pretty comfortable. My room had a lovely view of the parking structure and was at the end of the very long hallway, it was a trek to just get to the elevator from the room.  The went to the  revolution bar where i paid a pretty penny for a Jameson on the rocks but it was cheaper then losing all my playing video poker just to get a \"free drink\" \n\nAfter check in there is a very long and i mean LONG walk to the hotel elevators so get a bellmen to help you if you have any luggage at all its worth the tip.  The hotel staff was very  friendly all except for the valet, cranky is the word i would use. I had luggage and they basically  just park your car and get your car they wont help you with your bags ... at all... or maybe  the tramp i got just wouldn't help me. bitch i got tip money! \n\noverall it was just dandy there especially because i pricelined the room  and got a great  deal if i had paid rack rates i might not have been as happy.
