Las Vegas 4 day stay at the Mirage & tips
My wife and I had a good time in Vegas, we stayed at the mirage, which we found to be in the center of Las Vegas Blvd. making it easy to get to just about anywhere, plus access to the free tram. ( there are two trams one is free the other you pay for) a cab from the airport to the hotel $30.00 about a 20 minute ride. Check in at the hotels are around 4pm, so if you get there earlier,you won’t be able to check in, so check your bags with the bell men. Since we arrived early we had a 4 hour wait, so we used the time to scope out the hotel and we’re the pool was located and it’s hours of operation. At the Mirage the pool opened at 9am but people got on line 1/2 hour earlier,in order to get a free chair before everyone rushes to get one,
otherwise your stuck having to pay for one. You’ll also will fine that some people just put their towels down on the chairs and then walkway not to be seen for hours.
Best times for the pool and chairs early morning or after 230 pm.
Another tip bring a small collapsing cooler, to bring to the pool ( no glass allowed)
Once our room was ready, we just called down to the bell men and our luggage was brought up very quickly. Once we unpacked, we went across the street to Walgreens and purchased waters and other drinks,snacks,to keep in our room in ice buckets, otherwise things can get expensive.
If you’re looking for reasonable food cost, I would recommend going to the miracle mile shopping mall it’s about a 20 minute walk from the mirage. Breakfast at the hotels for two can run from 60 to $80. At the miracle mile we got, two eggs, bacon,potatoes,toast, for $5.00 at la Salas which opens at 8am across from there is Blondies, also good deals on breakfast and lunch, there is also a place in the miracle mile we’re anything on the lunch menu is $5.00 we saw it and there was a line for it,so we ate at earl of sandwiches, two small hero’s and free refills for two cost us $21.00, wear comfortable shoes there’s a lot of walking.,hotels seem close to each other but believe me there not, my wife and I were doing about 20 to 25000 steps per day that’s 10 plus mile’s per day
Suggestion bring or buy at cvs or Walgreens, liquid I.v. Great for exhaustion and hang overs, it works quick you mix it with your water.
Also be careful of individual trying to sell you VIP concert passes, it’s a scam, only a promotor can give out VIP passes,and thief usually free.
Hope I’ve given you some insight, Enjoy Vegas.
I found the best time was Labor Day ( Sunday to Thursday) we found it less crowded.
