Location. The South Seas-themed Mirage Resort & Casino is located on the center of the Strip in Las Vegas, Nev. The hotel offers a tram to TI Treasure Island next door, and is across the street from the Harrah's Imperial Palace Monorail Station.

Hotel Features. The 102-acre Mirage Resort & Casino features a volcano that erupts daily every hour from 8 p.m. until midnight. A pink-marble and limestone lobby features a 20,000-gallon, coral-reef aquarium. Dining options include Onda Ristorante & Wine Lounge that serves traditional Italian cuisine five evenings a week. At the new BLT Burger, Chef Laurent Tourondel offers milkshakes to compliment burgers of beef, American Kobe, turkey or lamb. Meat and seafood are seared on 500-degree hot rocks at Japonais. Electronic flowers bloom on interactive tables at Revolution Lounge, where pulsating lights flash and pounding music includes originals, remixes and covers of Beatles' songs. At Revolution's entrance, Abbey Road Bar features Yellow Submarine-inspired portholes with Beatles archive footage. The hotel features a full-service spa and Kim Vo Salon. The hotel's custom-built theater with 360-degree seating and panoramic video projections features Love, a Cirque du Soleil production celebrating The Beatles. Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat displays white lions, white and striped tigers, an Asian elephant and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. DJs spin tunes and the bar serves cocktails and frozen fruit at BARE, the European bathing area. BARE offers cabanas for rent and hosts an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender)-focused dance party on Saturday nights (surcharge). Grottos and waterfalls dot the coconut-grove garden, where a lagoon-style pool, a spa tub, and a children's pool reside.

Guestrooms. Guestrooms feature marble entryways, wall-length mirrors and partially-canopied beds. Marble- and gold-accented bathrooms feature make-up mirrors, glass-enclosed showers, Aqua Lime toiletries and a separate vanity. French doors showcase Strip views in select guestrooms, that offer mirrored wardrobes; separate living, dining, and powder rooms, and walk-in closets. Select accommodations feature beds with pillowtop mattresses, glass-topped furniture and whisper-quiet door closures. These rooms also include 42-inch flat-panel televisions and MP3 adaptors. Wireless Internet access is available for a fee.

Expert Tip. When the hotel's volcano explodes, the earth shakes, and smoke and fire spray 100 feet into the sky in a fantastic pyrotechnic display.
