Love the Restaurants in the Mirage . haven't done the New Heritage Steak which replaces the old Steak House ... which was nice but Dated.
If you get a chance check out Japonais, Japanese grill. Get the Rock. They give you a Hot Rock where you cook your own Meat. Pretty cool and very good Food.
Portofino is another Top place there. You want to go when they open the Back room, which you wouldn't know it was there if it's not opened.
I have stayed at most strip properties. My favorite was always the Stardust simply because of the sportsbook. As I am now in my mid-50's and as my Stardust has been gone for several years I enjoy the more relaxed feel of downtown. Normally I stay at the Nugget and find my way over to LVH on big sports days.
Completely agree, Bet. I would add that years ago when the whole place was green and more a tropical theme it was even greater in my opinion. Could not even count the trip I stayed there. Never even used the pool.
Sorry for those who never got to experience the old Stardust. So interesting to see all the "runners" (beards) congregate early in the morning for the drawing. For those who don't know, they used to draw lots to set the order on who got to hit the fresh lines first. Those were the days!
Always thought the place was just a big ugly-assed warehouse. Did have a couple nice restaurants back in the day.
LVH, when it used to be the Hilton was ok especially for the price. Last time, 12/12, i was there it had gone to shithole status. Bankrupt so they dont/cant maintain anything. tv's dont work, hvac doesnt work, food sucks.... Superbook only good thing that they still have.
Ceasars entertainment properties - close to bankrupt, so same things as above apply just to a lesser degree. Known to nickel and dime you to death.
Hard Rock, back when it was the HOT spot it was shoulder to shoulder crowded on weekends, yet tables nearly empty. Havent been in many years but its no longer the place to be.

Interesting you guys mentioned these two places in back to back quotes. I just posted the following in a new thread about waiting for the pot approval to come.
"Standard & Poor's, a leading credit rating agency, downgraded Caesars credit rating by two steps to CCC-. They stated that Caesars’ capital structure is unsustainable, and that the company is burning cash to fund capital expenditures and interest payments. They expect the company will need additional liquidity in 2015 to cover interest, capital expenditures, and debt maturities. They think that restructuring of Caesars is increasingly likely over the near term.”
"The COSMOPOLITAN is up for sale. It's a luxury resort, casino, and hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, just south of the Bellagio on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard. It consists of two high rise towers. The resort opened on December 15, 2010 and has lost nearly $300 million since opening! The $3.9 billion project features 2,995 hotel rooms, a 75,000 sq. ft. casino, 300,000 sq. ft. of retail and restaurant space, a 40,000 sq. ft. spa and fitness facility, an 1,800 seat theater, and 150,000 sq. ft. of meeting/convention space.
Presently owned by Deutsche Bank, the sale price is expected to be in the $2 billion range. One of the bidders is expected to be Crown Resorts of Australia owned by James Packer, son of the late media mogul and Las Vegas whale, Kerry Packer."
