The Mirage Hotel
Casino Games
Poker,
in its many different forms, is one of the premier gambling games in the world.
It offers excitement, action, and while it demands great skill from an expert
player, it still contains a strong element of luck for those who are just
beginning. Most of all, poker is fun to play.
Poker
is played against other players; the casino is not involved.
If you are an experienced player, or just beginning your first adventure in
poker, you will feel welcome and comfortable in The Mirage Cardroom.
The Mirage features a spacious 31-table environment which spreads "live games" in varying limits of 7 Card Stud, Texas Hold'em and for those High/Low Split enthusiasts, Omaha 8 or Better.
The
Mirage Race and Sports book offers a high-energy environment where you can
catch all of the exhilarating energy of racing or relax and watch the game
with friends in our sports lounge.

is one of the largest and most sophisticated race and sports books in Nevada.
Sit back in style and comfort as the brilliant expanse of our projection screens
transport you to the center of the action and bring to life all of your favorite
race and sports events.
The Mirage Race & Sports Book offers some of the largest betting limits
available anywhere on straight bets, parlays, totals, money lines and teasers.

Baccarat
Although traditionally the grandest of all table games, Baccarat is a simple
game of chance. Players may sit in any of the 14 open seats at the table,
as seating position does not affect the play in any manner. Those participating
in the game may place a wager on either the bank or the player. Two hands,
of two cards each, are dealt from the baccarat 'shoe'. Later, a third card
may be required for either hand. The first hand represents those betting on
the player, the other betting on the bank. The winning hand is the one which
totals the closest to 9. Tens, cards totaling ten, or picture cards count
as nothing or 0. All other cards count as their face value. If the cards total
a two-digit number, the last digit counts as the value of the hand. For example,
7+8=15, counts as 5 in baccarat.
Play begins when the shoe is passed to the first customer, who then deals
the cards under the supervision of the dealers. Four cards are dealt alternately
from the shoe starting with player. If a third card is required for either
or both hands, the dealer calls for it. Once the play begins, pre-established
rules determine the draw.
All wagers for the bank or player pay even money. Winning bank bets are charged a five percent commission. You may also wager that the bank and the player will draw hands that tie. This wager pays 9 for 1.
The Mirage also offers Midi-Baccarat and Mini-Baccarat games.
Blackjack
Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games. The Mirage offers traditional
shoe games, continuous shufflers, and double deck games. The object of the
game is to draw cards that total as close to 21 as possible without going
over. Each player receives two cards and the dealer receives two cards: one
card face up and one down. Tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings count as ten and
aces may count as one or eleven. All other cards count as face value.
Players may elect to stand or hit their hands. If a player hits and his or her total is more than 21, the player "busts" or loses. If the dealer "busts" and the player does not, then the player wins. The player wins if their total is closer to 21 than the dealer's total. If the player and dealer have the same total, it is a tie or "push".
A
player receiving an ace and a ten-value card as his or her first two cards,
the player has "Blackjack" and wins three to two on the bet unless
the dealer also has Blackjack, then it would be a push.
Craps
Craps is one of the fastest moving and most exciting casino games today. A
crew of three dealers, each with specific tasks, attends to players as they
place bets while a player rolls the dice. Players are welcome to place as
many or as few different bets as they choose. The Mirage offers very competitive
odds on our craps tables.
Roulette
The Mirage offers both single zero and double zero roulette wheels. Players
bet with colored roulette chips designated for each roulette table. The dollar
value for each chip is determined at time of buy-in.
There are 36 numbers plus 0 and 00 and many combinations of numbers on which to place bets. Additional bets include: red/black, even/odd, 1 to 18, 19 to 36, first dozen, second dozen, third dozen, and column bets.
The dealer spins the ball. If it lands on a number on which a player has placed a chip the player wins. The payout is determined by how many numbers are covered by a player's chip.
Pai
Gow
Pai Gow is played with domino-like tiles. Four tiles are dealt to each player,
the dealer, and each vacant position at the table. Dice are shaken and the
total on the dice is used to determine which position receives the first hand.
The object of the game is to create two hands that are both higher than the
bank hand. If one hand is higher than the bank hand and one lower then it
is a push. Bets are paid even money and the house collects a 5% commission
on all winning wagers.
Pai
Gow Poker
As the name implies, this unique game combines elements from Pai Gow and Poker.
Players use a traditional deck of 52 playing cards plus one joker, which acts
only as an ace or to complete a straight, flush, or straight flush. Players
use the seven cards dealt to them to create two hands; one high hand of five
cards and a second hand of two cards. As in Pai Gow, both hands must be higher
than the bank to win. The house collects a 5% commission on all winning wagers.
