While my stay was average, there are a few things that went well and a few things that have caused a major headache.
Things that went well:
* Walkable to my conference which was across the street at the Venetian
* Really nice repair guy that came to fix the water in my hotel room.
Things that could have been avoided, or better:
* There was an alarm that went off at 4 am that lasted for a long time when I had to get up early the next day for a conference
* My water in my hotel room stopped working, so I was not able to shower before going to the conference one of the days. This was extremely disappointing given the fact that I paid money to be able to shower and brush my teeth. The guy that came to fix it was nice, and offered me a $25 food voucher, which I appreciated. It was still too late for me to shower, so I still had to leave out.
* I was charged for "drinks at the pool" that I never authorized, since the pool was only open during conference hours, it was impossible for me to visit the pool. I was at the venetian from 7:30 am - 6 pm DAILY. The fact that identity is not confirmed when hotel guests charge things to their hotel room is horrible business practices, and this is the reason my company will likely never book at the Mirage again. Also, I am pregnant, so I CANNOT DRINK. It is embarrassing and insulting to have to defend incorrect charges on my company credit card that I did not authorize, and no one verified the identity of whomever charged this to my room.
