ADVERTORIAL THE REVOLUTION CONTINUES t The Mirage, that seems possible. It was here where the concept of Vegas resort destination was born nearly 20 years ago, and it is here, in the heart of the Strip, where the revolution continues in the 21st century. Yes, the AAA Four Diamond resort has kept some of the elements that has made it a classic Vegas escape. Visitors can still dine at the legendary kokomo’s steakhouse, for example. They can see Siegfried and Roy’s dolphin habitat and their white tigers. They can relax by the stunning pools interconnected through the lagoons and a cascading waterfall. And they can still enjoy Danny Gans, the singer-comedian-impressionist who is a nine-time “Entertainer of the Year” in Las Vegas—and still the hottest ticket in town. At the same time, a major renovation has put The Mirage back on the cutting edge of hospitality in Las Vegas. Taking a cue from the public spaces, food and beverage offerings and new venues that make up the collective visuals of The Mirage — transformed to be one of the ﬁnest resorts on the Strip today. Epicurean accomplishments abound these days at The Mirage, a recent winner of the Connoisseur’s Choice award. The resort has revamped its restaurant lineup to offer some of the most outstanding choices on the Las Vegas Strip—the hottest dining district in the country. The sleek yet simple, Onda Ristorante and Wine s Lounge landed the No. 2 spot on Go Magazine’s top 20 wine bars in America. Meantime, Japonais is one of the new restaurants that has taken the culinary scene by storm. Its pairing of innovative cuisine and intimate, exotic atmosphere was created by two celebrated chefs, Jun Ichikawa and Gene Kato, and world-famous designer, Jeffrey Beers. The resulting experience is a virtual seduction of the senses. And don’t forget about STACK, a fun twist to the American style steakhouse, serving up innovative ﬁnger food and entrees. The most talked about team in Las Vegas—if not the entire entertainment world—is that between The Beatles™, Cirque du Soleil® and The Mirage. They have pulled off the biggest coup in The Mirage revolution with LOVE, a show that combines the magic of Cirque du Soleil® with the spirit and passion behind the most beloved rock group of all time to create Onda a vivid, intimate and powerful entertainment experience. Variety magazine reports that LOVE “delivers the goods THE MOST TALKED ABOUT TEAM IN LAS in the manner of the best Vegas shows: The senses are VEGAS—IF NOT THE ENTIRE ENTERTAINMENT overloaded, spirits are high, and there’s an urgency to ™ spread the word.” WORLD—IS THAT BETWEEN THE BEATLES , WHAT IF PARADISE GOT BETTER? A The Beatles™ REVOLUTION Lounge “ CIRQUE DU SOLEIL® AND THE MIRAGE. Just outside the custom-built theater is LOVE’s perfect complement: The Beatles™ REVOLUTION Lounge. This Beatles™-themed ultra lounge features the hippest décor, the most Fab-ulous cocktails and the highest technology to create a psychedelic sensory environment. While the lounge is rooted in the ’60s, with its free spirit and “LSD ceiling,” it’s also a timeless good time that, thanks to the best DJs in the business playing the hottest music, catches up to the moment as the night goes on. In addition to a psychedelic journey at The Beatles™ REVOLUTION Lounge, guests can enjoy the hottest nightclub scene in Vegas at JET. Where three rooms with three different sounds play music to please club goers of all kinds. What the world is talking about, though, is everything that’s new and exciting at The Mirage beyond the dining and nightlife. The latest buzz is about celebrity stylist Kim Vo—“The King of TV Makeovers”—expanding his talents from Beverly Hills to the resort’s all-new Spa and Salon, which will reopen in December. Kim will bring a variety of new things to the salon including a Beauty Bar where customers can test out wigs with cutting-edge hair styles and color. The spa will provide an all natural environment for guests to be pampered. With the last of the renovations being completed in 2008, which included a $100 million room remodel and another restaurant, The Mirage transformation has been revolutionary much like it’s original claim to fame as the ﬁrst mega resort in Las Vegas. ” The Beatles LOVE™ by Cirque Du Soleil® Interested?
