las vegas treasure island hotel my view on one of the most well known hotel casinos in Las Vegas - by Jason

Treasure Island Hotel Las Vegas

Treasure Island was known for the longest time as the host for the best Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas: Mystere is still the best show in Vegas for the money in my opinion offering outlandish sets, costumes, music and great look and feel polished with outstanding acts and theatre. It was focused on being a great family themed casino but as we all know; casinos aren't for kids. So once management realized the mistake they changed the name to TI. "TI" is so corny but that's the world of marketing sometimes.

This ship is part of Treasure Island's free show called Sirens. It is performed nightly on the Strip. The best time to check out all the details in front of TI is during the day. Look carefully because skull rock can easily blend into the landscape.

Treasure Island features probably the best free outdoor show on the strip called Sirens of TI involving huge pirate ships, half dressed pirate girls luring in the wayward sailors from another ship, followed by a heated fireworks backed battle, loud crashing music, swinging men and cannons firing across water soaked actors, with some diving into the waters below. This is done right on the strip in front of the casino and when the show is active you really cannot make your way past due to the crowds.

Sirens is worth seeing at least once espceially if you have kids but get there at least 45 minutes before showtime or the little ones won't be able to see much. The show lasts about 30 minutes.

Treasure Island Hotel in Las Vegas or TI is located across the strip from Wynn and Venetian. The shows are the best thing about TI and the price is always fair. I have always had decent service here but then again I am not a jerk when it comes to little details since I spend my time gambling. Noisy casino is fun and the staff is helpful and friendly.
