Las Vegas Trip Report 5.24-29.2024 - The one with our final stay at the Mirage

John and I had a quick trip to Las Vegas over Memorial weekend to stay at the Mirage one last time before it closed for good to be remodeled into Hard Rock. 

Burger from Stone Arch at the MSP airport was quite good. Our flight was fine and we headed to the El Cortez to check in for the first two nights. 

I don't have any notes from this trip, so lots of guessing and going off what photos I have.  I got a couple quads on video poker at El Cortez, so I think we played there for most of the first night. 


Breakfast was at Magnolia's at Four Queens Saturday morning. Solid as always. I believe we played at El cortez after breakfast. 

We had lunch at Victory Burger at Circa. I think we both had some food comps to use. 

We had dinner at Siegel's at El Cortez. This is the prime rib special. I think I've said before, for the price it is decent. 

We went to a newer place called Winnie and Ethel's for breakfast. It is on East Charleston. The food was good and it is pretty close to downtown. 
Played a bit a El Co until it was time to head to the Mirage for the last few days of the trip. 
I forgot to take room pics at the EL Cortez until we were heading out. Sorry about the terrible photos. Looks like we had a tower king room though. 


A few pics of the room at the Mirage. It was a standard king room with a strip view. 


We were doing a bunch of status matching on this trip and we both got $100 food credit at Fontainebleau. We ate at the sports book/ bar restaurant there for a late lunch.  

I  have a receipt for Tekka Bar as well, so I think we went to Cosmo for awhile to play and have something to eat as well. 

Monday morning we went to Grand Lux Cafe at the Venetian for breakfast. We've been here before and it is always pretty good.  
After breakfast, we went to the pool at the Mirage for awhile. I am going to miss this fantastic pool. 
After getting ready fro being at the pool we went to Resorts World to get something to eat and play a bit. We went to Viva for happy hour. I learned you have to activate your food comps in a machine before trying to use them. I was so hungry I forgot to take pics of the food. Looks like we had chips and salsa, quesadillas and a tuna tostada, per the receipt. 
I had been saying all day that I waned to go to Main Street Station to play video poker and get a royal, so that is exactly what I did! I think the bartender Jose is good luck! LOL! 


We eventually made our way over to Fremont Street and had a late dinner at Chart House at the Golden Nugget. 

Tuesday morning we had breakfast at The Pantry at the Mirage. I think we went to the pool at the Mirage for a bit after breakfast.  



We had a late lunch at Gordon Ramsey Burger at Planet Hollywood. I think we had some food credits from the Caesars status matching to use. 

I have video poker quad pics from Cosmo, Park MGM and Ellis Island. So I guess we went to a few different places to play that afternoon. 

Wednesday morning we went to Wicked Spoon at the Cosmo for breakfast. I think we had a BOGO from John's silver status. 


I think we wandered back to the Mirage via the Bellagio since I have pics of the Bellagio Conservatory. Pretty as always. 

This was a fun trip overall, especially the part where I got my second lifetime royal flush at Main Street Station! : )
