Mirage Testing New Casino Carpet

It's not the blooming lilies of the RTom years, but much better than the previous stuff.

Not a fan. Too confusing and how does this tie in with their other recently rennovated areas (BMG theatre, street of dreams, ignite lounge, Minus 5)?

I really dig it actually.

The Mirage's most recent casino remodel took away a lot of the tropical feel in exchange for MGM's penchant for blandness over whimsy.

Not only does this new carpet bring more flower-like color into the area but it also, dare I say it, embraces the resort's theme... something MGM hasn't been known for in recent years.

Every time I approached one of the yellow lines, I would mistake it for an extension cord on the floor.

Is no one in Vegas allowed r=to do colorful carpet anymore?

@parchedearth I believe you are thinking of Monte Carlo not Mirage. I dig it for sure

No. No like.

Is there anything that can be done, a choice that can be made, that would make that ceiling not seem as low? I have always felt the Mirage's casino to be a bit claustrophobic.

I like it.

It keeps with the theme but in a more abstract, less tacky way.

Bland and boring

Well, it needs new carpet - we agree on that.
I kind of like the test patch, but the yellow lines look like the chalk drawings my buddy's kids create on the driveway. I like chalk drawings but I'm not sure it works for me on a casino rug.
