    Going to Vegas for my 30th bday. Been multiple times but looking to either stay at Bellagio or Mirage this trip partially using MyVegas. Stayed at Mirage and liked it, but considering Bellagio because it is roughly the same price and better location. How is the feel there?

    Both are nice. Why limiting to those two? If you have already stayed at Mirage, give Bellagio a try. It's always fun to explore new places.

    Never stayed at Mirage but have at Bellagio. There's so much to do there & the location is great for gallivanting.

    Although I haven't stayed at either (yet) I'd probably say Bellagio. BUT, Mirage looks like they have an awesome pool.. If you're going during pool season. Either way, you'll have a blast. Cheers to 30!

    I split my 30th up at Bellagio and Planet Hollywood. Def. enjoyed the vibe more at Bellagio. Solid pool, great restaurants.

    Bellagio Pool area is nice.

    I think Bellagio feels a little more upscale.

    If myVegas were a mandatory factor, Id recommend Bellagio. Because.... if myVegas wern't a factor, Id recommend Cosmopolitan. I think its a younger demographic than either. And its a 3 minute walk from Bellagio.

    I don't patronize CET properties. But I think others would opine that Planet Hollywood is also younger clientele.; its across the street from Bellagio.

    I have stayed both property’s but about same price I would definitely pick Bellagio over mirage any day of week. It’s better location (central) better room & casino. Overall better atmosphere. Hopefully work out for ya

    Mirage is more middle market, Bellagio is more high end but certainly not at the top anymore.

    They are both products of Steve Wynn's vision so in my personal opinion they are like different degrees of the same thing. They were both built with very similar design philosophies. Not superficially in terms of theme, but rather in terms of the layout of the casino, hotel, pool, retail ect.

    For the same money, most would say Bellagio. For myself, it would depend on more on your personal preferences. I can afford to stay wherever but often end up at Mirage because I like the whole tropical theme of the property and the pool area. I've stayed at Bellagio as well though and really liked it.

    FWIW, the Tower Suites at Mirage are a fantastic value, particularly during the week. You can get a real deal 1200SF suite often for what a regular room goes for at places like Wynn/Aria. I just checked the price on one for when I'm planning my next trip and they are $230 per night. I just checked Wynn for that same period and their regular rooms are $245 per night. Yeah, Wynn is a nicer hotel by any definition but sometimes it's just cool to have a giant suite if your budget forces you to choose.

    Bellagio pool is no slouch but it's true that Mirage has one of the coolest pool areas in town, especially for the money. I really like having breakfast at the Paradise Cafe at the pool. It blows my mind that there will be a line for the buffet in the morning but you can walk right into Paradise Cafe with no wait, better food, and an awesome view.

    Bellagio beats Mirage in almost every way.

    Have stayed at both places a number of times. In general, if you haven't stayed at one or the other, I would say try it. I prefer Mirage and my wife prefers Bellagio. She took me to Bellagio for my 30th too . They are very different . Bellagio is beautiful, but I don't think it's fun. I find the Mirage more fun, I just love the tropical vibe I guess. And I prefer Mirage location on strip.

    So, can't go wrong. If you haven't stayed at Bellagio, I suppose you should. It is beautiful and relaxing. Have a blast!

    I have a friend who stays at Mirage every year for her birthday because she likes how they treated her on her birthday. She said she got some freeplay, a dessert and some flowers.

    Bellagio is a bit older crowd. Have stayed at both but Mirage has a way better pool for that age group. B pool is rather sedate. Restaurants are a bit more upscale at B.

    both great places... depends on what feels best for you.

    Bellagio would be my choice. Mirage was OK, but didn’t really care for the location. Bellagio has other M Life properties within easy walking distance, which I really like.
