Four of my eight buddies hooked up @ TI in about two hours of fishing. that's got to be the best odds on the house. Seems that all midwestern girls stay here.

Mirage's sister property, Treasure Island was originally intended to be a more family-oriented destination than any other resort I had previously built. Unfortunately, it's been bastardized by the company that took my company from me.

My hubby and I were married at Treasure Island (before the TI change) and therefore, it will always be a favorite for us.

I had heard that TI was a place for younger patrons (35 and below) but was surprised at how nice the hotel was. The refurbished rooms are extremely comfortable. The bed was perfect. The dining options are pretty good. Cantor's Deli has a variety of options and the portions are just right. The buffet is a bit on the small side but the selection of food options make up for that. The Sirens show was undegoiing maintenane this time around so I missed getting a prime spot to see it.

Young Vibe, Great Location, Recently renovated and comfy beds, Attatched to Mirage by Tram which houses JET one of the top 3 nightclubs in Vegas. Has Social House and Tangerine on premises. Hop, skip and a jump to Fashion Show Mall, Wynn, Venetian, Mirage. Very Good Spa

TI is probably my favorite strip resort. I stay there every other time or so - there are so many places to try!I like the intimate feel of the poker room. I think that the steakhouse is the best value compared to other places I've eaten (SW steak, Craftsteak). The times I've been there the pool had smokin' hot chicks. I mourn the old Pirate Show - Sirens sucks. I like the room decor and the location can't be beat with a stick. I'll be back for sure. I'm planning a long weekend of my Vegas favorites - TI is where I'll stay.

A lot classier than what I expected from the disneyfied signs and outer motif. The linens and beds were wonderful, the buffet was good for the price and the blackjack dealers were great. Definitely will return.

After three years of identity crisis, the new TI seems to be slowly finding its groove. New rooms, new bars, new slot machines, removed 6:5 blackjack... things are looking up.

Stayed there in May of 2008. What I liked about it is the size isn't massive and you can navigate with ease. It is hard to beat the location as well

I love this hotel for the location and their rooms. As the sister hotel to the Bellagio, their suites are comparable without the price. No luck at their slots in all of our trips to Vegas so we no longer gamble here. Had one issue at check in, with a rude young lady who acted as if my right to ask for an upgrade was bothering her, even though their so called "directadvantage" program boast this option for booking online. She said there were no suites available at 3:10pm and not even pretending to look up room status on her computer. But after checking into our room and seeing the crappy location she gave us we called down to the front desk and spoke with a manager who in 5 minutes upgraded our room. This took a total of 15 minutes tops from lobby to our room. So what would you think?? The first 15 minutes soared my opinion of this hotel so we did not stay there this year. But it is a very nice property, that I would stay at in the future.

My Rating: 5

New rooms are awesome. The Mrs and I have a good relationship with MGM Mirage so it kinda sucks that TI was sold off. Otherwise I could definitely see us staying here most of the time.

First hotel we stayed in Vegas. Loved it (and Vegas) ever since. The only negative is perhaps the pool - it's very nice but too small. More often than not the rates here are great so we find it hard to want to stay elsewhere. Also, they tend to comp our bill a little on check out - which is nice considering our low roller status !

Best mid-priced hotel on the strip. Surprisingly really nice rooms, great strip views, fun low-limit tables, and the perfect location. Request a panoramic view room at the corners of the tower- you will be extremely pleased.

One of the best bets in Vegas, TI has gorgeous accommodations, an intimate casino, and one of the most beautiful shows, all at an incredibly affordable price. Yeah, the pirates that we all love are gone, but at least the place looks nice, unlike at Luxshitor. If Stevie built it, you gotta love it.

TI is a GREAT property. It is a smaller hotel (in comparison to the MEGA hotels: MGM, Mandaly, Venetian, etc), which makes navigating the casino and hotel easy. However, don't let the size and the affordable prices fool you. You get ALOT of bang for you buck. The newly renovated rooms are FANTASTIC. They are quite spacious and modern for the price. The beds.... oh the beds.... Are the MOST comfortable beds I have EVER slept in. They wonderful to sink into after a long day of walking the Strip or dancing the night away in a Vegas club. The resaurants range from the very affordable Coffee Shop and Canter's Diner, to the fun -filled Kahunaville, to the mesmorizing Isla. They have something for EVERY price range. TI is always my #1 choice of hotel when I'm on a budget, but don't want to compromise the ammenties of all the higher prices MEGA hotels.

I liked it more when Steve owned it. There were all kinds of cool little design features in the hotel that MGM MIRAGE removed when they attempted to make the place hip.

From my first visit to LV, I kinda thought Treasure Island was cheesy. Until, 2004 when I walked in for a second time. There is definitely a difference since MGM-Mirage rebranded the joint.. Oh yeah, check out Tangerine Wednesday night. I would recommend reserving a table..

Having spent it's life until now as little more than Mirage overflow, Cap'n Phil Ruffin steers the good ship Treasure Island into uncharted territory as an independent boutique hotel. It's still too early to tell what kind of place he wants TI to be, but for now it's one of the few middle class joints with enough capital to renovate when need be.

Liked it much better when it was Treasure Island and had the Pirate Show instead of the Sirens. The Skull and Crossbones was way cooler too. What the hell was MGM thinking? They should have just put up a giant boob sign and called it TIT instead of TI.

Pool very cool, free shots at the pool party. Tables took ALL our money, slots were too tight. Cocktail waitresses came around once in 2 hours. Rooms were ok, our sheets were very wrinkled when we first checked in. All in all we preferred NYNY over this hotel.

My all time favorite is the Mirage, this is the Hotel and Casino that started the boom on the strip. This place is still nice and even thogh somewhat dated, iin it's day was the newest and most facinating casino on the strip. Steve Wynn knew what he was doing when he built this place.

I love the Mirage. This is still what I think about when I think about Las Vegas. There is no place I would rather be then at the Mirage pool. I recently stayed in a one bedroom Tower Suite, and I have to say for the price it was, without a doubt, amazing. It was $135 a night for the first 3 nights the $150 for the last, and they included $80 in food credit, a line pass ( but only for the cafe, buffet, and CPK) And, 4 tickets to the dolphin habitat and secret garden. The room was starting to show it's age, but it was big, spotless and beyond comfortable.

The opening of the Mirage in 1989 signaled a change in all resorts in Las Vegas. Gone were cheap eats, lousy entertainment and cheap rooms. We offered a higher standard of luxury, but still affordable to the family traveler.

My go-to property when Wynn is either full or too expensive to justify. I love The Mirage, even with the changes that have gone down in the last two years. This place has staying power.

Great Location, Worn rooms, Excellent Dining options, Big, One of top clubs (JET), I compare this to Mandalay only swap rooms at Mandalay to Mirage and it would be a must stay for me every time. The only mark I can find agains Mirage is the rooms are smaller and not updated.

Swanky by our standards. The gambling is way outta our league. We're all about the 9/7 quarter slots. the odds here are not good and it'll cost ya at least five bucks a hand in video poker. The Hotel is amazing though.

This had been my favorite until recently. A bad run at the tables will do that. Several bad runs will turn a6 into a 5. Would be lower but I stayed in the Penthouse sweet and that was luxury at it's finest. Add Stack and the pool bar and I can't hate on Mirage too bad.

the mirage what can i say hmm damn it was huge and well... dark for the most part. in the casino anyways. we were here to visit the secret gardens and to have a stroll around the place little did we know it would take again half a day to do it and not see all of it . we did see all of the gardens but to get there was quite the feat walking through the maze of slots and getting lost at the poker area due in part to a sign in the wrong place pointing us to the pool and gardens area. as we arrived in the gardens area it was very nice and well covered with green foliage and trees to shade you from the sun so if you're there on a hot day you can catch a break out there in the shade in the gardens the animals were awesome but one tiger did decide he wanted to mark his territory might i add. as me and about 4 others were sprayed so that was our cue to exit and get to a restroom and clean up lol

If you really think about it, the Mirage is truly a magnificent place. You have the huge and elegant suites, the attention to detail, huge-ass dome with trees in it, lots of hidden gems and last but not least, those secret mini mansion villas. Now if only MGM hadn't made the casino and rooms all contemporary and boring.

I have stayed here once and will stay here again soon. I love the smell, the layout, the staff, the decor, the location, the eating selection, and most certainly the pool. I really enjoyed my time at the Mirage and look forward to visiting them again. Price for value ratio is brilliant at this hotel/casino.

Casino is a little dark, but I found the dealers pretty friendly. I hope they lose the 6:5 rubbish. I hear they got rid of the cafe as well. While it wasn't the best in the world, I vaguely recall enjoying breakfasts there at 4:30

The Mirage is a nice hotel! The animal habitat was kinda cool, but very expensive to see. Seems like the MGM-Mirage corporation is catering this joint to high rollin' family types. The one plus, if traveling with shopping types, the Forum Shops are right next door from the enterance of the Mirage.

The newly remodeled rooms are very nice-except if you're allergic to the bleach they use on the sheets. My skin started burning shortly after getting into bed, and as welts appeared I called for 2 blankets to sleep on. My friend had a lesser reaction.Now I know to look at all room pictures, and see if they have white sheets. The likelyhood of this same problem will be there.

I have always wanted to stay at the Mirage and finally did so In January of 2010. The room was very nice and well decorated but I was not feeling the vibe in the casino. BLT Burger is a great place for a Burger and a Brew and Stack is awesome food but that is about all that is good for dining options. The selection of Rum at Rhumbar is great but the service on the patio was awful. The sports bar is the only casino bar to grab a drink, watch a game and play some bartop video poker and it's always packed. Another good casino bar would be nice. Overall I liked the Mirage but it really doesn't have an exciting vibe anymore, the casino renovation took away the uniqueness that was Mirage and made it just another non-descript casino floor.
