Escape from the everyday to The Mirage, a AAA Four Diamond Polynesian paradise. Designed with the tropics in mind, lush foliage, waterfalls and lagoons provide The Mirage guests with a serene atmosphere in which to relax, unwind and rejuvenate.

Dramatic Entry

From Las Vegas Boulevard -- "The Strip" -- or from the walkways leading to the resort, visitors are enveloped by an entrance garden of towering waterfalls cascading over rockscapes 50 feet to the lagoon below.

A live volcano that erupts each evening, spewing smoke and fire 100 feet above the water, captures most every eye as visitors pass through the lagoon entrance into the hotel.

The drive leading to The Mirage is a palm tree-lined causeway bridging the lagoon water. The drive delivers visitors to the sparkling white porte cochere adorned with full-length louvered shutters that suggest an arrival at a colonial government house in another era.

Tropical Atrium

Once inside The Mirage, guests are instantly enveloped by the extraordinary visual experience of a lush and verdant indoor atrium featuring palm trees towering 60 feet above waterfalls and pools which meander through a forest of rich tropical flora including banana trees, elephant ears and tropical orchids.

Woven into the towering palms and waterscape of cascading falls is an artist's palette of beautifully colored, delicately arranged tropical flowers enveloped in natural sunlight and nourished by a computerized misting system.

The Mirage guests feel as if they're in paradise. They can enjoy the mood created by the flowers, plants and water ponds and, at the same moment, be captivated by the huge, wall-size lobby aquarium behind the front desk.

Checking in at the front desk is a sensory experience. The 20,000-gallon artificial coral reef aquarium is stocked with sharks, puffer fish and angelfish.

To continue the tradition of providing guests with the highest quality, The Mirage offers exquisite AAA Four Diamond accommodations that provide the utmost in comfort and convenience to leisure and business travelers alike.

The 2,763 deluxe rooms feature two color schemes: an uplifting, casually elegant room colored with shades of soft yellow with verdant accents or a rich, gracefully decorated room with shades of burnt cedar and cranberry. Custom-made wall coverings, draperies and carpeting reflect these sophisticated color schemes. Artwork including florals, landscapes and still-lifes enhances the residential quality and elegance of the decor.

Attention to detail is apparent throughout the room. With imported Spanish and Indonesian marble used in the entries and bathrooms, the guest rooms are as refined as they are comfortable. Other touches include custom-designed armoires that accommodate a 25-inch color-television, a fully stocked mini bar, a vanity table and lighted make up mirror. For the business traveler, all rooms feature a desk and desk lamp, two phones with dual phone lines and high-speed Internet access. Tucked away are irons and ironing boards, private in-room safes, and hair dryers to provide added convenience.
