Mirage trip report 7/9/thru 7/14
Airline
AA out of West Palm Beach to Dallas then To Las Vegas. Great flight left on time arrived 10 minutes early.

Mirage as always. Room 5010, view of the pool but no big deal as we only sleep and shower in it anyway.

Ondas Mirage this is really very good had osso buco it was excellent and I really like the way they redecorated
Paradise Cafe by the pool at Mirage good food great atmosphere
Roasted Bean in the Mirage great bistro
Gambling
I love wheel of fortune, the wife likes video poker. I play a lot, several hours each day and would rack up the points and would win but my problem is I keep playing then lose it all back, but on the last night I was playing $1 wof max bet and put in $100 and played down to my last few rolls when I got the spin and I got a 1000. I don’t know who was the most excited me or the wife. She kept yelling cash out so I took one last spin and didn’t get anything so I cashed out with a $1000 win. You got to love that.
Shows
Went to see the Elton John show, don’t remember the seat, but I don’t think theres a bad seat in the place. I really liked the show, my wife said it was so-so.
Rode the 100 mile ATV rides in the desert to Primm and back had a blast was going to ride Desperado but it was closed on Wednesdays.
This is not a show but we went to Fontana bar at Bellagio and saw a group called Clockwork that were fantastic. I can’t say enough about them and the bonus is you can go out on the patio and see the fountains in all there glory what a sight.
Well, outside of a bunch of little things we did there wasn’t to much else. But I did find out for a fact that Carnival Court on thursday thru saturdays do charge a cover charge at night. I also have to say both my wife and I said at about 2-3 p.m on thursday the strip started to get really pack out and when I ask the security guard at Carnival Court about this he says thats why they now charge because it looks as if it starting thurs-thru sat. is becoming a big thing now for So. Calif/Arizona coming earlier.
Well so much for now I hope you enjoyed the report. I love reading all trip reports from Las Vegas Talk. I took a ton of pictures but I haven’t figured out how to send them to webshots as of yet
