Mirage Grand Arrival

The question is not how big is the entrance — it is how do we make 45,000 cars a day think this is the nicest place on the West Bank? Hotels, casinos, and Disney spend on perception, not slab thickness.

Guests remember lighting · arrival · music · landscaping · excitement. They do not remember footing size or paver brand.
