Hi All, I have an opportunity to change hotels from venetian to Mirage to save $200...my questions is,is it worth the perceived step down for that? I probably wont gamble too much at either property or indeed go to clubs/restaurants...however I do like a nice pool and room + love the feeling of being in a quality reosrt in vegas
though it is starting to show its age, the rooms at V/P are nicer. Make sure you are figuring in resort fee as well.
I'm guessin' we're talkin' 2-3 day stay? I say, "Yes"... it's worth it. I like the Mirage and I like that side of the street. There's nothing wrong with the Venetian/Palazzo, I'm just no Sheldon Adelson fan. The service and facilities there are top notch. That said, The Mirage is no "dump" by any stretch and a fun property to boot.
Depends on how much you want the $200! I'd be happy at either property. Venetian is definitely ultimate luxury though. I feel honestly, if I stay at V/P I could honestly never leave the compound and be content, there is so much to see and do. For me, saving $200, i'd switch. That's more money to shop, or eat a nice meal.
I'd take the $200 and gamble more. V is nicer, but I've been satisfied with the Mirage as well. I prefer the restaurant selection at Venetian, but I generally don't eat in the hotel I stay at anyway, so this wouldn't be an issue for me.
Mirage has the better pool but the Venetian has significantly nicer rooms and a more 'luxurious' feel. It also has better restaurants however it has worse gambling. Going by your declared preferences, I'd take the Venetian.
over here in the UKyou tend to get the deals packaged up with resort fee included as I guess its completely alien to have these charges levied over here I think I am going to change,as have rerservation at Fin booked anyway,the pool at the mirage seems a bit better,or at least equal to the V and the ease of location/strip access has a lot going for the Miraage too as was previously booked in to the Venezia tower
While Mirage is a perfectly nice hotel with a good pool, it isn't really in the same class as the Venetian IMO - you'd be stepping down at least a half-step on the luxury scale. Also, the combined Venetian/Palazzo complex is much, much larger than Mirage, especially in terms of restaurant & shopping options [plus you have 2 casino floors, etc.] You'd need to upgrade to a suite @ Mirage to get the same amount of space you'd get in a standard room at the Venetian - standard rooms at Mirage are [literally] half the size of standard rooms at Venetian, and the standard bathrooms at Mirage are tiny.
Saving $200 is a nice amount of money to save in switching hotels. That being said, I'd still stay with the Venetian with all it has to offer as mentioned by previous posters.
