Villas at the Mirage

Top choice in Las Vegas


Formerly the domain of 'whales' – the highest echelon of casino hotshot who'd be enticed to the property with complimentary stays – these secluded, unique self-contained oases with private pools were completely renovated by Mirage, which decided to reintroduce them into the paid luxury and celebrity market. If you can afford one, you probably know about this hush-hush release already.
