"This Polynesian-themed hotel, with its tropical jungle oasis vibe inside and bellowing volcano outside, is a fun throwback to the ‘80s—that’s when most would say it changed the complexion of the Las Vegas Strip , propelling it into the theme park it has become in recent years. And although MGM Mirage is one of the older hotels still operating—with more or less its original design—it has done a good job of hitting refresh enough times to never feel old. Rooms were renovated just a few years ago, and the lobby, although it can feel kitschy, is just the sort of thing a lot of people love in Las Vegas" - CNT Editors
