Hi guys. I recently discovered your channel. You two are rocking it. Just normal, fun unpretentious folks that do Vegas like most of us. Keep up the great work!
The Pantry is my go-to spot for breakfast in Vegas. Best Blueberry pancakes in town. The quality is still great under Hard Rock. I hope they keep it just the way it is.
I am totally dating myself but I was at the Mirage for the grand opening! I could NOT believe it. Thought I had died and gone to heaven. The first mega hotel on the strip.....saw Steve Wynn walking' around with his entourage :). Such good memories now it is turning into a guitar, LOL! You guys are killing' it--keep up the good work!
Aww! That’s awesome! We felt the same about it the first time we went….we were in love with it! And Steve Wynn walking around…that’s so cool! Thanks for the kind words! We really enjoy making the videos about our favorite place 😍
Love the fact you made this video and can't believe more people don't use this! We've all seen the insane lines the past 4-5-6 months and this should be utilized more in my opinion.
I went to Vegas for the first time the same year you guys went. Even though MGM Rewards is my primary player's club, I never stayed at the Mirage. I used to enjoy the casino, but over the past 6-8 years, I just didn't get the warm and fuzzies anymore, so I have not gone there, other than to see Terry Fator twice. I went with some friends this past January to do the tier match. I got some really good play there. I am sure they will do well.
Hi D&S - we never use mobile check-in unless it's an "extra" room and we don't care where it's located as we have certain "non-starter" stipulations we need. Thanks for the vlog. Cheers 😎🍻
Hey, guys! Yea, that’s the only drawback with mobile check-in. The view wasn’t that bad at the mirage, but NYNY was completely absent. For a convenience factor it’s great, but you take a gamble on the view…
Good call. Maybe so. I do like mobile check in but have been getting crappy rooms lately. lol But I like that the room is normally ready early and we don’t have to wait! I’m such a degen! 😆
Mobile check-in is good for avoiding the lines. You got a physical card? I like that better than the electronic scan. I guess I am just old that way. lol I have stayed at the Mirage a few times in my early days of Vegas. Before I learned about players rewards. For years I never knew of food comps and freeplay and comp rooms. Not until 2015, was it mentioned to me. lol I think everything will be replaced once Hard Rock takes over. The windows use to open when I was there. I have a timelapse from sticking the camera on the outside of the window. (ua-cam.com/video/ydFOfOawB9I/v-deo.html) It is a good location if you like heading north. I saw at the end of the video, you did get a card. Another fine video. thanks for sharing, Cheers!
Digital keys have been clunky for us too. Not just with rooms but using in elevators as well so the physical key is fine with us too. We’ll definitely check out the timelapse you captured! We have soooo many memories at the mirage as we’ve stayed there with family many times. It’s still a great casino in a great location offering great value! Will be interesting to see how it evolves in the next few years when HR spruces it up.
We had tier matched from MGM Gold to Unity Icon earlier this year and took advantage of the freeplay conversion they were offering. The room was comped and Sonia had some freeplay on this trip, but nothing new as of yet. Do you like The Mirage? Were you able to tier match too?
@@DaverrasonTravels I love the Mirage but the rooms are ready for an upgrade. Stayed there a couple times this year. I did the tier match too and always go to the Icon priority line for check in because they get me a high floor and pool view. Love The Pantry and Snacks for quick eats.
@javamon agree! The location is great and plenty of cheap eats around the area. We’ve stayed there a number if times and always enjoyed it. We’re sad it was sold, but excited to see what Hard Rock does with it when everything is said and done.
Enjoy your channel very much love the throwback pic of you too at the intro
Thanks Anna! Yes, it was so long ago :)
Appreciate the support and the kind words!

This is such a nice comment! Thanks so much! Appreciate the support! ☺️

Ooo..gonna have to try the blueberry pancakes next time. The red velvet were awesome too, but I think they’re seasonal.

Your videos always make my day ! The flashback photo the best .. you were babies ..
😀
Thanks Dawn! And yes, we have been going to Vegas for way too long 😆
But we still love it 😊
Love the fact you made this video and can't believe more people don't use this! We've all seen the insane lines the past 4-5-6 months and this should be utilized more in my opinion.
Totally agree! Those lines have been crazy. Mobile check-in definitely the way to go!
I really want to stay at the Mirage again before it changes to Hard Rock. I love that hotel!
We do too! Such great memories 😍
The younger pic of you both was the best. !!!
Thanks Cindy! We feel in love with Vegas so long ago and the Mirage was our fave hotel then! 😍

Agree. Not the same for sure. But we have so many memories there 😍
Love the flashback! ❤ babiessssss
Right?! Lol
Defo.would pick mobile over querying as.no guarantee better room.😊😊
The view might not be the best but you get a room a lot faster!
@DaverrasonTravels definitely and not in the.room long 🙂🙂

Look at those baby faces!
Once upon a time …. 😜
I just did this at mirage this week!
I also got a 5th floor room, maybe that's standard for them when it comes to mobile check ins
Good call. Maybe so. I do like mobile check in but have been getting crappy rooms lately. lol
But I like that the room is normally ready early and we don’t have to wait!
I’m such a degen! 😆
@@DaverrasonTravels I think being ready for admin work to be over on a vacation is perfectly fine. Doesn't confirm or exonerate your degen status 🤣
😂

Did you guys get any offers from Hard Rock after staying/playing there? Did you tier match?
We had tier matched from MGM Gold to Unity Icon earlier this year and took advantage of the freeplay conversion they were offering. The room was comped and Sonia had some freeplay on this trip, but nothing new as of yet.
Do you like The Mirage? Were you able to tier match too?

p.s. I think it smells better than Cosmo! 😁

Lol! Sonia would agree with you!
Mobile check in sucks, they give you dreadful rooms on low floors with no view except rooftops.
We have noticed that lately but didn’t have that problem in the past!
May have to start waiting in lines ☺️
Luckily I spend no time in my room except to sleep, so I'm happy to take a crappy view if it's quick n convenient
Agree! We get to Vegas and ready to hit the casino 😆
