RECREATION: The lush, tropical pool area at the mirage consists of two pools and encompasses a series of wandering, interconnected lagoons.

Swim or walk to either of two palm tree-lined islands to bask in the sun or stroll between cliffs where water streams into deep grottos.

Wander over one-quarter mile of shoreline, unwind in one of three jacuzzis, enjoy a water-aerobics class or take a plunge into the clear water by way of one of three waterslides.

Live entertainment includes the new show LOVE by Cirque du Soleil. Mirage is also home to singer-comedian Danny Gans, and touring headline entertainers. The onsite spa and salon features massage therapies, beauty treatments, hydrotherapies, and a beauty salon. The Revolution Lounge is a 7,000 square-foot lounge featuring psychedelic floors, walls, and tables with pulsating lights, as well as musical theme nights, and the Beatles-themed Abbey Road Bar. JET is a three-floor, four-bar nightclub.
