Why The Mirage's iPad App is a Vegas Geek's 'Must Have'

August 30, 2010 at 6:43 PM | by amandahimes | 2 Comments

Have you wanted to plan a Vegas vacation but are unsure what you want to do or where you want to eat? First, we recommend reading VegasChatter for the latest in what's hot and what's not on the Strip (heh.)

Second, if you're staying at The Mirage, just download their handy new iPad app which will allow you to book a room, make reservations at Stack, and reserve tickets to see Terry Fator (although you may want to see LOVE instead.) You also have the ability to make room, dining, spa and show reservations through this app.

Plus, the app will work when you're not at the hotel. If you decide on the cab ride back to the room that you want a late-night snack or turndown service, the iPad app has you covered. You can send your requests to guest services and have your crisp new sheets and a chocolate sundae in minutes!

Cute Tigers Arrive in Vegas, Unlikely to Cause a Sex Scandal

No monkeying around with cocktail girls for this pair

Now that’s magic! The National Enquirer can try and distract us all it likes this week with its sleazy sexytime Siegfried and Roy allegations, but the only S&R-things we're into this week are the two new baby tigers that have debuted in the Secret Garden at the Mirage.

There’s very little we want to add to this picture, apart from to inform you that they are white-striped tiger cubs called Mohan and Majestic (we’re not sure which is one, sorry), they’re brothers, they are seven weeks old, and they’re living in a special nursery that you can visit between 11am-3.30pm every day. Admission to the Secret Garden is $15 ($10 children).

Paul Vigil's Got a New Show, But You'll Need to Drink For This One

If close proximity to strangers bothers you, you'll like his new show

We’re beginning to think of this as The Curse Of VegasChatter. First we show love to Circus Circus, and it ups its resort fee. Now, after we’ve lauded Paul Vigil at King Ink as the only truly free show in Vegas, he goes and starts charging.

We jest (kind of). What’s actually happened is that his free, private weekend shows have gone down so well at the Mirage that they’ve got him to do a proper, full on show every Wednesday at 7pm. And there’s a two drink minimum implemented for this one.

Oo La La, The Mirage is on Rue La La

August 12, 2010 at 8:01 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

If you like deals sites like Groupon.com and Gilt.com for discounts ranging from fashion to restaurants to beauty services and travel, then you will probably like this newish private sale site, Rue La La.

The site offers daily deals for its members on fashion items for men and women but they also include "premium" travel experiences at discounted prices. And today Rue La La has several ongoing deals for The Mirage--four to be exact, ranging from a two-night midweek stay at $220 to a weekend in a tower suite starting at $950. Oh yes, the resort fee is included in the price.

The Mirage Wants You Stay for a Weekend and Be Hydrated for The Year

August 2, 2010 at 7:14 PM | by juliana | 2 Comments

Vegas contests never get old. That's because we all dream of striking it rich so we can go strike it rich in Sin City. The latest Vegas sweepstakes comes from The Mirage who has partnered with FIJI water to offer one winner a three-day, two-night stay with a private cabana poolside plus complimentary bottle service, dinner for two at BLT burger AND a year's supply of FIJI water delivery service. How's that for a Mirage? (yuk, yuk.)

All you have to do is head over to Mirage.com/FIJISweepstakes and fill out the entry form with your pertinent info.

You can also check off whether or not you'd like to receive offers from The Mirage and from Fiji Water. Normally, we like to uncheck those boxes but we get superstitious with these contests and we think our entry will be disregarded if we don't sign up for the spam emails. It's up to you. Just make sure you enter before August 20.

Paul Vigil May Just Be The Only Free Show in Vegas. And That's Magic.

Promise that this photo isn't staged - our friend took it and everyfink.

We have, of course, spent the last week mourning the Vegas demise of Luke Jermay. But at the same time as not washing our hair, eating lots of ice cream and reliving the time he refused to read our mind because he'd already met us, we've been getting out there and finding ourselves a new psychic man.

People, not only have we found him, but he’s better than Jermay in that his show is free and the audience is restricted to you and your party. Yes, he will give you a private show for free. And yes, it's fantastic.

His name is Paul Vigil and he works every Friday and Saturday night at King Ink in the Mirage. In fact, he’s Mario Barth’s personal magician or something, and on weekends he’s allowed out of the King Inker’s house to enthrall his inkees and any members of the public who join them.

Vigil does up close street magic (think Blaine rather than Copperfield) and he wanders around the “club” bit of KI asking you if you’d like to see some tricks. Then he does them - to you, for you. Tricks which are, no other word for it, amazeballs.

It's Wednesday Night. Do You Know Where Your Salsa Shoes Are?

Sorry folks, doing the Macarena dance will NOT cut it anymore. You need to learn some new Latin dance moves and the place to do it is now Rhumbar at The Mirage during "Havana Tone."

Every Wednesday night at 9pm, Rumba Rico, a group of professional Latin dancers and percussionists will salsa, rumba and cha cha inside and outside of Rhumbar, all to the rhythm of the night and the Mirage volcanoes too. Best of all, they will teach you and your two left feet some spicy dance moves for 30 minutes or so.

Bare Is Just Like 'Heaven' for the LGBT Crowd on Saturday Nights

Where: 3400 Las Vegas Blvd. [map], 89109
July 8, 2010 at 10:42 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

It looks like The Luxor may have started a cool new pool party trend---LGBT nights. But it turns out Bare at The Mirage has been hosting, Heaven, a new LGBT dance party on Saturday nights since March.

Promoter Eduardo Cordova, who created Revolution's "The Closet Sundays" (also at The Mirage) has "transformed the pool area into an outdoor nightclub featuring winged angels, cabanas and clear dance floor over the pool." Local performers and DJs, including resident DJ duo the Perry Twins, along with go-go dancing boys AND girls, provide the entertainment.

Sorry, We Have to Brag: We Saw 'LOVE' for Just $55

Where: 3400 Las Vegas Boulevard [map], 89109
June 18, 2010 at 2:25 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

We took advantage of the Cirque du Soleil's summer promotion to get us a $55 ticket to LOVE at The Mirage last night. So what kind of seats did we get? Back row. Literally the last row in the house.

However, because this show is in the round there are no bad seats. We've also seen LOVE before so we didn't need to be up close. (That was in 2006 and we paid a whopping $125 for a ticket!)

We were also grateful for our seats because LOVE has a bit where they cover the audience in a sort of parachute blanket. We were so high up the blanket didn't reach us which was wonderful because the last time, that parachute made us claustrophobic.

Lastly, we liked our seats because it was near an exit/entrance for the acrobats who swoop in on ropes and other Cirque contraptions and we could see how they are fed into the theater. And we had a seat on the aisle with no one next to us. Score!

Where To Find The 'Sex' Addicts In Vegas This Week

May 25, 2010 at 4:26 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

It has come to our attention that there’s a certain high profile film being released on Thursday. And if you’re not content to merely squawk and squeal over Carrie et al in the cinema, there are places you can continue without annoying the rest of Vegas too much. Not as many as we’d think (maybe they’d heard the rumblings about the film not being so good), but a few, nonetheless. Here’s where to sniff out your fellow Sex addicts.

* Wynn is holding a SATC2 Shopping Soiree of “cosmos, champagne and shopping” tomorrow from 5.30-7.30pm on the Wynn Esplanade, including ticket giveaways for a Town Square screening on Thursday. Expect things to be pretty – we’re told there's a Manolo display by the cashier cage with a shower of shoes (OMG wheeeeeeeee etc etc). RSVP to personalshopper@wynnlasvegas.com.

Where to Chow Down Before You Show Down: Five Pre-Show Dinner Spots

May 12, 2010 at 3:00 PM | by Mr Pappagiorgio | 2 Comments

You’ll have to excuse us if we still have food on the brain after spending a weekend gorging at Vegas Uncork’d. We did try to move past our culinary crushes on Rick Moonen, Bobbles Flay, and Cat Cora by focusing on another love: Vegas show deals.

But that just got us thinking about where to make dinner reservations before hitting LOVE. So our self-prescribed therapy is to check out the pre-theater dining options around town. We've rounded up what we think are the Five Best Pre-Show Dinners on the Strip for what we consider the top shows on the Strip. (KLAS polls notwithstanding.)

Most of these meals can be had before the early showings (typically at 7:30pm) but a few can also be had before the later showings too. And now, to start the show...

Hopefully The Boobies At Bare Come Dressed A Little Sexier Than This

Where: 3400 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], 89109
May 5, 2010 at 12:10 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Are you thinking what he’s thinking?

Hello, summer! Now that it’s finally heating up we can contemplate pool parties without coming over all goose pimply. And from thinking about pool parties, it’s only a connecting thought of hot bods before you start thinking of boobies (we speak as resolutely heterosexual females, it may be a slightly quicker process if you're not).

Or, if you’re walking through the Mirage, you don’t need to make that inbetween thought at all. They’ve just taken down the old Sugar Factory display outside Jet (just as well, really, seeing as it was a bit out of date) and replaced it with one for Bare.
