For some God unforeseen reason, we've received a 3 free night offer from the Mirage. We've never stayed there before and hardly ever play there (thus, my curiosity as to why we got the offer in the first place).
Anyway, taking them up on the offer, are there any rooms that are especially attractive, or any that should be avoided?
Any and all suggestions, comments, recommendations or whatever are welcome.
Thanks.

It's been awhile since I've played at the Mirage. The last time I was there, the only game to play was the 5-Play $ 9/6 (I got it right).
I absolutely love their Brazilian Stake house, and the Ultimate stake at Stack is worth the money. The Nipponese restaurant is also good. Avoid Kokomos.
Someone else may have more current skinny.

If you got offers from the Sands properties and were cut off the Mirage might have gotten you name as a player. Just speculation. A friend got out of the blue offers from the Mirage and Cosmo.

I am a fan of their Penthouse Suites. On a more normal level, I'd just try to avoid their base 'Deluxe' Room and get at least a Tower Deluxe (floors 24 and 25, elevators specifically for those floors, jacuzzi tub). The Deluxe rooms aren't bad, but the Tower Deluxe is worth asking for if you aren't getting that already.
I really like the food and service at STACK. I enjoy Cravings. Kokomos is a real disappointment (food and service) and Japonais hasn't impressed me either. Onda is OK and their wine bar can be a nice break from the casino noise.
On the more casual side, I could eat at BLT everyday. The food is good. The price is pretty good for the Strip. I had a group staying at the Mirage in August and almost everyone enjoyed BLT - some people ate there twice a day. I prefer to sit at their bar since the music from the candy place across the hall can be obnoxous/cacophonic if you sit in the lower seating area.
I have not been to the BB King's at the Mirage but I have been happy with other locations. I did notice that their breakfast prices were kind of high. I could easily recreate a standard breakfast on their menu at the buffet for less.
They don't have much in the way of playable VP, but since I normally play blackjack and Pai Gow Poker there I don't see it as a big deal.
Have Fun,
Mark
