The Mirage is a cool Casino/Hotel. The Mirage has a rainforest theme, and is very welcoming! The first time I went to Vegas, it was at the Mirage that I won my first chunk of money, at Casino War no less! My most recent visit to Vegas was in May of '10, and they added a few new games to the casino, including Blackjack Switch. This game is one of my favorites. We played it at the Wynn in the fall of '09 because that was the only casino that had it. Blackjack Switch is a game where you are dealt 2 hands, and you can switch the top 2 cards. It allows for more strategy, but the dealer busts on a 23 or higher, not a 22 or higher.
The Mirage also has a fantastic Volcano Eruption Show in front of it. The show runs from 8pm-Midnight, on the hour, every hour. This Volcano Eruption is something you wouldn't want to miss. There is a huge rocky waterfall outside the Mirage that starts spewing lava , choreographed to music. The show lasts about 3-5 minutes, and you will not be disappointed. In my opinion, the Eruption is better than the Water Show at the Bellagio.
