Treasure Island Hotel In Las Vegas

Treasure Island Hotel in Las Vegas where fun and partying are the norm. There are many bars as well as restaurants to choose from. TI has its own shopping boutique area with stores like: the Sirens Cove shop with pirate souvenirs (watch out for pick-pockets during the free Sirens of TI show outside. The show is very popular and crowded), the Mystere shop, the $10 Boutique, the 100 Degrees shop and more. TI is not a huge resort hotel like Bellagio so walking to the Strip only takes a couple of minutes.

Join the party with flair bartenders and flair competitions in the Kahunaville bar. The Fashion Show Mall with over 400 shops and restaurants is next door.

You have a lot of options when it comes to dining at Treasure Island Hotel in Las Vegas. Kahunaville is very popular with the drinking, rowdy crowd who want to dance or take sides and cheer the flair bartenders during their competitions. It's a sight to see when male and female bartenders jump on the bar creating elaborate fountains with glasses, cups, liquors of every color and a little smoke from the dry ice. Ultimately it's the patrons that win as they get to drink these concoctions afterwards for free.

Other casual restaurants include the Buffet at TI, Pho - Vietnamese Cuisine, the 24 hour Coffee Shop and Canter's Deli from Los Angeles famous for their huge corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. Upscale dining includes the fashionable Social House, the international Steakhouse, Mediterranean Francesco's and the modern Mexican cuisine at Isla.

Mystere, the Cirque du Soleil show headlines at TI and is a Vegas favorite. You'll be dazzled by Olympic class athletes and performers in a high energy acrobatic show with music, dancing and singing. The Las Vegas Review Journal voted it 'Best Production Show' 8 times.

Treasure Island Hotel in Las Vegas is well-situated on the Strip. It's next door to the Mirage and across the Boulevard from the Wynn, "Palazzo" and the Venetian. For the fashion conscious, the Fashion Show Mall is conveniently located next to TI.

Mystere is the "Cirque du Soleil" show headlining at TI. A cast of 72 performers and Olympic class athletes will dazzle you with music, singing, dancing. Voted 'Best Production Show' by the Las Vegas Review Journal not once but 8 times. Outside in front of the pirate ships catch the free Sirens of TI show. Sensuous women beckon a band of Pirates for an on-board party. For clubbing and celebrity sightings go to Mist.

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. TI picture of cool custom bike on casino floor in slot bank.

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.
