I have no problem with the layout, and it is near the California Pizza Kitchen, which is quite good.
I was only there for 4 days, but the 10/20 and 20/40 games were riddled with local nits. They were just grumpy, pathetic people. That said, I just got drunk and starting raising in the dark if it folded to me beyond MP. Most pots were 4 handed at most. There are much better games to be had elsewhere. I will not be staying at Mirage again.
I thought the dealers were competent and friendly.
I got my drinks in a timely manner. None were drop dead gorgeous, but they did their job well.
Well run room.
I did not seek out any food comps, but did get the poker rate. It requires an average of 6hrs/day on weekdays and 8hrs/day on weekends. I found myself loathing the fact that I had to leave the juicy Bellagio games to get my hours in at Mirage.
