I was at the Mirage 2x this last week. Each time for a Danny Gans show.
The carpet in a good portion of the casino has changed. It's a pretty simple pattern with shades of brown. However, i will say this--as you walk ... you DO notice subtle little bumps in it....... as if ................... something between the pad & carpet was left in there!? It's subtle, but you notice it. I'm wondering if it's where electrical hookups were covered with carpet perhaps. Nothing you'll trip on --- but, like i said -- you do notice it.
The aquarium is FINALLY OPEN again! It looks great with coral, plants, and a ton of fish. This is the one behind the registration desk.
The salon/spa still isnt open. Well, at least that one their planning to open. Like greg said - it's just the continuous draping of sheetock with the Spa's logo on it (as you walk towards the pool).
The carnegie deli was 1/2 full on wed nite.
The carnegie deli was 90% full on satur nite.
CPK - basically the same thing for each day.
The buffet on saturday had a line of about 25 persons waiting to get in. Not bad.
I'll still say 'this' .. the Mirage is a bit dark compared to other casinos. It really is.
On each day i saw a TON of tables with $25 minimums for blackjack. Probably 7 tables with a $10 minimum.
Dice on saturday had two tables $100 min.
4 tables $25 min
2 tables $10 min
Caribe Cafe had ZERO WAIT to get in on each night.
I really hate that the mirage has one single bar that you can go up to & order a drink and be on your way (or stay and do bartop vp). The only one remaining is the 1/4 cirlce one near the sportsbook. Otherwise, there's some lounge / bar / thingy with headache type music near the entrance of Kokomo's ---- and, then one near Samba. Oh well.
I played dice on saturday night - and was offered a drink only once in a span of 40 minutes.
VP pay schedules are terrible (well, most of you know that). LOL. I even walked thru the high-limit slot area. THis is the section where the old BACCARAT BAR was located :( Even, the vp paytable for a $5 j.o.b. machine was 8/5. Pretty sad.
I still like the mirage - dont get me wrong. The service level is high - and nearly all of the staff is pretty dang friendly.
