 The Mirage ushered in several new eras for Las Vegas: A
new commitment to quality and excellence, a bonafide effort to make casino interiors more aesthetically pleasing
and a building boom that continues to this day.
Looking around, it is readily apparent why the Mirage spurred its neighbors on
to greater things. The hotel is done in cool Polynesian touches and festooned with tropical greenery; the entrance
to the casino is through a 90-foot-high glass atrium filled with royal palms, orchids and banana trees.
The white tigers of Siegfried and Roy-the world-renown magicians who dazzle crowds
nightly in the Theatre Mirage-reside near one of the entrances while dolphins swim in an outside pool and live
sharks glide stealthily through a tank behind the reception counter.
3,049 rooms fill a Y-shaped tower, and guests have six tennis courts, a full spa
and a lush pool area to keep them occupied during the day with a number of restaurants, lounges and abundant gaming
to appease them at night.
