Review
of Mirage
Hotel
-One of the nicer places to stay on the
strip.
Mirage
Hotel
Buffet
-About a 15-minute wait was reasonable.
Recommend Mirage buffet over Harrah's buffet.
Peel your own shrimp, ham, chicken, steak, and
turkey were a daily offering at the buffet. Make
your own pasta and Mexican bars were a nice touch.
A big salad bar, fresh fruit bar, and the desert
bar were abundantly stocked with many choices.
Service was top notch and nice decor. Save room
for the chocolate moose as well as the fresh strawberries
atop a vanilla cream shell. Skip the éclairs.
I requested a coke and was surprised by the return
of a coca cola and a carafe filled with extra
coca cola. Coffee was ample. Dinner $14.50, Lunch
$9.50, Breakfast $8.50.
Insiders tip to buffets given by a Casinojudge
jury member: Buffets are typically more expensive
as the day goes on. (Lunch is more expensive than
breakfast, dinner is more expensive than brunch)
(Example) If you enter a buffet at the end of
breakfast, you get to have the lunch buffet at
the price of breakfast.
Attractions
-
Volcano - The volcano is now a symbol of
modern day vegas. It erupts every 15 minutes,
generally 6:00pm-12:00am. It can get crowded quickly,
so be there early if you have kids.

White
Tigers, Aquarium, Jungle Gardens - You
can see the White Siberian Tiger exhibit when
you enter via the Las Veges Strip walkway. 24
hours, but the tigers may not be there at all
times. It advertises Vegas's most popular magic
act, Siegfried and Roy. Take a look at the tigers,
then stroll to the check-in desk to see the humongous
aquarium behind the desk. If you correctly find
your way, you can walk through the "Jungle
Gardens".
The Secret
Garden of Siegfried and Roy - A habitat
for wildlife. Lions, tigers, a jaguar, an elephant,
a snow leopard, and a dolphin habitat are part
of this tour. From 11 am to 5 pm Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays, opens at 10 am on Saturdays
and Sundays; Cost $10, children under 10, free.
