Velvet Mirage Casino & Hotel sits at the heart of Queensland. We offer a rare blend of comfort, style, and honest gaming. Our guests come for the rooms. They stay for the feeling.
Since 2009, we have hosted over 50,000 guests from across Australia and beyond. Our staff are trained to make each visit feel personal and calm.
We hold full licences from the Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation. Our gaming floor meets all Australian standards for fair play and safety.
Each service is built around one idea: your comfort comes first.
240 rooms across five tiers. From standard comfort to the Mirage Penthouse. Each room has city or garden views, king beds, and quiet air systems.
Our gaming floor spans 3,000 square metres. Over 400 gaming machines and 60 table games. Blackjack, roulette, poker, and baccarat.
Five restaurants and three bars. From modern Australian cuisine to Asian fusion. Our head chef has 20 years of fine dining background.
The Drift Spa covers 800 square metres. Heated pool, sauna, steam room, and treatment suites. We use Australian-made organic products.
Six event spaces from intimate boardrooms to a 500-seat ballroom. Full AV setup, catering, and event planning support included.
Our concierge team handles everything. Airport transfers, tour bookings, restaurant holds, and special requests. Available around the clock.
In 2022, we rebuilt our main lobby and added 40 new suites. The project took 14 months. Guest ratings rose by 22% within six months of reopening.
Our design team studied hotels across Europe and Asia. We brought back ideas that blend old-world charm with modern comfort.
Each quarter we host a charity gala. In 2023, we raised over $180,000 for local Queensland health services and youth programs.
Nexus Mining booked our entire conference wing for a three-day retreat. 120 staff attended. We arranged team-building activities, catered meals, and spa sessions. Their HR director said it was the best event they had run in five years.
A 200-guest wedding in our Grand Ballroom. The couple wanted a vintage theme with modern touches. Our events team managed flowers, music, catering, and room blocks for 80 overnight guests. The event ran without a single issue.
In 2023, we launched a full responsible gaming program. We trained all 340 staff. We added self-exclusion tools and partnered with Gambling Help Queensland. Problem gambling reports dropped by 40% on our floor.
