Treasure Island - The Real Deal :

Treasure Island was a neato place... great layout, great gaming, affordable yet upscale accomodations and a brand new identity crisis. With the end of family era Vegas Treasure Island found itself faced with a dilemma, either we go all the way to Circus Circus family fun or accentuate the Paradise vibe and try and steal some younger clientele from Palms, Rio and the Hard Rock. Who knows if this has worked, but they sure are marketing the place that way... gone is Treasure Island and in is T.I.. Perhaps a midlife crisis? Perhaps doomed to the fate of the wrecking ball? Either way, the pirate ship nonsense inside the casino is just plain tacky these days.

Location of Treasure Island:

TI - Treasure Island is on the West side of the Strip, next to the Fashion Show Mall. TI-Treasure Island is attached to the Mirage on the south side and is neighbors with the Venetian/Palazzo across the street and Wynn Las Vegas on the opposite corner of the intersection.

Treasure Island History

Opened in October 1993 at a price tag of $430 million dollars, Treasure Island and its sister resort The Mirage are one of the pioneers in the late 80s Las Vegas bulding boom. From its family oriented Buccanner Bay pirate ship spectacular (since replaced by the underwhelming 'Sirens of TI' show) to its more recent shift to sex sells marketing, TI - Treasure Island seldomly fails to deliver on its promise of a good time... except in the casino. More on that on the casino page. MGMMirage sold TI to former New Frontier owner Phil Ruffin in December 2008 for $775m bucks... all bets are off concerning the future of the joint.

The Rooms at Treasure Island

Treasure Island Tips

The family-friendly pirate show has been given the boot in 2005 to make way for "Sirens of TI" which was given the boot in 2014. Now, there is nothing.
