If you're considering staying here or at least checking it out, come at night when they are running the pirate shows. It is so cool to watch and is like watching the water world show at Universal Studios. Highly recommend.

Fun!
by Dayatra W.
TI is a great deal of fun. All of the drinks at Kahunaville are great. The rooms were nice, however, lacked a great deal of care in their refurbishment. Dinner at their steak house was wonderful. I must say, Tangerine is totally lame. Atmosphere there is uneventful.

Great theme adds to the already packed strip

I totally agree with the previous post about T.I. being a clip out of the Pirates Movies, because it really is. With a great free pirate performance/show that goes on every day on the strip it's a great place to catch action/drama/excitement all rolled into one show. The Hotel itself is really nice and does have that Caribbean feel to it. Rooms are pretty spacious and the pools are really nice. The casino itself is pretty big with table games and slots for your gaming pleasure. Their buffet always seems to have a line every time I go but it's worth the wait if you can wait. Overall you should have an enjoyable stay there, and it's best to check out everything the resort has to offer; from dining, entertainment, a little R and R, it's a great place to get away for a weekend.

Treasure Island puts on one of the shows on the strip. Its like a clip out of the Pirates of the Carribbean movie. I love the realness of it. Inside is very nice too. Very tropical and cool, especially in the summer.

This is one of the most well decorated hotels on the strip with the more rustic style. This is a great hotel if you want adventurous shows and a unique room decor. The slots are very uniquely set with pirate themes and the free pirate verses British boat show is one of the most entertaining things on the strip that you can do for free.

Not impressive rooms, even worse customer service
by JohnEstes
I booked this hotel because I saw online that they have new, remodeled rooms that looked very nice. However, when I got there, it didn't look nice at all, almost like staying at some cheap hotel. They didnt do a great job remodeling. I bought a package which included discounts for shows, specifically Cirque di Soleil. When I got to the hotel, I tried to reserve the show and was told that all the cheaper tickets were sold out. I explained that I only booked this deal to get discounts so I can save money, not spend more on tickets. They told me that I should have booked in advance. How could I have done that when I didn't have the discounts until I checked in???
Also, at some point in the trip our key card stopped working at 2AM. We called and asked for security to open our door. When security came, he was so rude and demanded we show our ids. We told him that they're in the room. So, he made us go downstairs at 2 AM!!!
Just horrible customer service!

TI: Seductive Tantalizing and Fun
by ODeuce
I love the TI. It's always a place we visit for our annual trips to Las Vegas. The bartenders and excitment at Kahunaville are second to none. Flair bartending, dancing free drinks... you got it all. Ofcourse, they make great tasting drinks. We have to see the Siren's show every time were in Las Vegas even though its a bit shamelessly self promoting :). TI has a larger rake for poker games and tourys then then the other MGM/Mirage properties but an excellent place for poker even though the room is a bit small.
Pros: Sirens of TI: Nightly, 5 Daily Hold'em Tournys, Kahunaville
Cons: Heavy Traffic, Small Poker Room,

Nice rooms, small unimpressive pool
by jflix
A "nice" hotel if you are on a budget. While the hotel has very nice rooms, if you are younger and looking to lay at the pool, or go to their nightclub Tangerine, I would look eslewhere. Nothing is really wrong with the hotel, it's just that compared to some of the others, it's just not that impressive.
Pros: Great rooms
Cons: Small unimpressive pool, average atmosphere compared to other casinos, lame nightclub

Good hotel for the price
by rmh66
I stayed at Treasure Island (right before it was renamed TI) and was pleasantly surprised by the room quality. The rooms weren't luxurious but quite nice for the price. The casino itself isn't much to speak of, and we ended up spending more time at the Venetian casino than the TI casino. Yes, the hotel is close to the Venetian and next to the Mirage. For some reason the hotel seemed more smoky than some of the other large hotels in the area (but not remotely as bad as say Circus Circus). I would stay there again. I miss the old pirate theming though.
Pros: Location, decent rooms, good value
Cons: Kind of small feeling

would stay here again
by bootsytown
We were able to stay here on a deal where we got an upgraded strip-view room as well as some food credits, so that already made me like this hotel. There were also separate elevators for the higher floors, very convenient. I even liked that cheesy sirens pirate show, guests get priority viewing.

Wonderful
by thalia827
Great hotel, casino and atmosphere! Rooms were very spacious and comfortable, room service was very accomodating! Concierge, dealers and all employees were incredibly friendly and very helpful!

Really nice room
by muranodiva
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a weekend with a room that had a view of the strip. They offered a reasonable price for a very nice room and we had an excellent time. I would highly recommend this place to anyone going to the Vegas area. I was very impressed, but the check in line was quite long when we got there. I think it took about 30 minutes to get through, but this was during the summer time so maybe it was just a seasonal thing.

Good Value Hotel, Great Location
by parkatola
I stayed at the TI (used to be called Treasure Island, but switching to TI to seem less kid-oriented) in October 2006. Ithink it's a good hotel for the value and it's a great location, next to Mirage, across from Wynn and Venetian, close to Fashion Show shops. The Deli has great sandwiches, but I didn't try the other restaurants. The pirate show out front went from kid-oriented to really cheesy/hokey/ridiculous, but people still line up to watch it. If you watch, stay near the edge of the crowd in case you want to leave. Mystere is the Cirque de Soleil show that plays here; it's a good introduction if you've never seen a CdS show. The rooms are nice and the service was fine when I was there. Overall a good experience and a pretty good value.
Pros: Great Location
Cons: Starting to show its age, but not too bad.

Comfortable and spacious
by ddcdaria
The room was plenty big to accomodate a party. There is also a huge mirror along the wall, ideal for getting ready to go out at night. The theme is fun, but campy.
Posted 10/31/06
good value
by sheelizabeth
We stayed here a year ago last minute because it was the only place that had a room. Our friends stayed at mirage. We got a corner room which was a lot bigger but the same price as the regular. Our bathroom was just as nice as the mirage's, if not better. Our room was twice the size. We payed half of what they did. The pool area is a lot smaller than most hotels, but if you are going in the colder months, it doesn't matter. Restaurants aren't good, but you can go other places to eat, if you want to save on the room. Ask for a strip view.

Expensive hotel without attractive
by mexiuris
I've been there three nights.... The room was very noisy, the food of the hotel made me sick and the casino doesn't offer any spectacular
Pros: Shows
Cons: Noisy rooms, bad food
Posted 09/19/06
Awesome hotel!
by bessca
We expected TI to be an okay hotel, because the price was so low, but it was actually very nice. The beds are extremely comfortable with duvet covers! The bathrooms are really nice too. I will definitely stay here again!
Pros: beds, rooms in general, casino
Cons: Tangerine Nightclub
Posted 09/04/06
Not too shabby!
by mircherry
Just came back from Las Vegas after staying at TI. Room was very nice, although the bedding was very uncomfortable. Scratchy sheets, hard mattress, flat pillows but other than that, everything else was great. Liked that this is a smaller hotel (for Vegas) and the location was perfect. Pool was very nice and lively, Isla Mexican place was incredible (best food I've had in a long time!) and the casino staff was very friendly. Overall, would recommend.
Pros: location, not too cheesy, food
Cons: crowded, front desk, room service

Nice place
by cl_foodie
This hotel actually has really nice rooms. They are trying to upgrade everything and make it more adult since it has so many kid implications. Location is great - right next to Fashion Show Mall and close to Paris and Venetian.

Great Accomodations
by jimbos1015
First Time to LV and was treated well by the friendly staff. This is definitely better than average Hotel, while not being overly glamorous it is very comfortable. Excellent spa-good casino(not the biggest or noiseiest or fanciest but good, great pool, good restaurants, decent shopping. The room was very comfortable and nicely appointed. Good mattresses, all around clean and pleasant. Very good views from every angle. We had mountain views to wake to every morning.
Pros: Value, Service, Cleanliness

Wow
by v_1aada
My wife and I were married here. We had an incredible time. The room was outstanding. We stayed in the Petite Sweet. We loved the decor. Having two bathrooms was very convenient and the Jacuzzi tub made for relaxing evenings. We stayed here for about 5 days at around $700. Well worth the price! We didn't have time to go swimming but the pool looked like a lot of fun. We loved the tiki huts surrounding it. Kahunaville was an entertaining restaurant/bar. The drinks were great and the bar-tenders do shows throwing bottles everywhere. It was amazing. The parking was excellent. The chapel was nice and simple. The pictures turned out awesome! We loved everything about this hotel. We highly recommend it.
Pros: Great value, Great location, Very Nice room

I believe there are better ones
by d_fens
Maybe this one is best left on its own. I have trouble to try to pinpoint the person Treasure Island is set up to cater to. Maybe a first timer. Maybe if you get a substantial discount. You see, it is not a very good hotel. Everything is between so, so and OK. There are really no redeeming qualities to the hotel, the staff, the food or the bars. the valet service is outright substandard. No, I would in most cases leave this place to someone else. Recommend it to an enemy, perhaps.
Pros: Don't know any
Cons: , Check-in inefficient, Confused in total

Good Service? How about harrassment?
by merkinmuncher
Treasure Island exemplifies the worst of Vegas, which is substantial anyway. The security harrassed me and other clients for they refused to come up to and verify our hotel room when we lost a key. Instead, they smiled while treating me like a criminal and purposely stalled letting me go up to my hotel room at 3 am in the morning. I had the worst vacation of my life in Vegas (I was their due to a bachelor party, not for my own interest), and the incident with the security topped it off. Vegas is really a pathetic hedonistic experience that is very shallow and materialistic. Some people go on a vacation to learn something about another culture or atleast gain soem intellectual insight. Other people go to satisfy their craving for money and greed. I can see why some people have distorted generalized view of America.

Excellent hotel
by faithman6
I stayed here for 4 nights in Febuary 2004 and had a terrific time. I stayed in their Executive suite for only 140.00 a night and it was spacious and luxurious. The best room feature though- 2 huge his and her bathrooms. Housekeeping cleaned the room spotless everyday. Excellent service from all the staff especially the valet people. They park your car for free and get it back real fast. The location was great with all the other major hotels directly in the middle. The new pirate show was just okay. The only dissapointment was the food. The buffet was not very good.
Pros: Value, Great service, Spacious rooms
Posted 03/25/04
Not so good service
by cricketgirl88
I desided to give this hotel another chance after my last stay in May of 2003. That was a bad idea. The service at the check in counter was horrible, the dealers were rude, and when I ordered room service at 1am, they took 3 hours to bring it up. They had me waiting until 4am! The only thing I love about this hotel is Kahunaville! The food is good, the music is great and the bartenders are outstanding!
Pros: Kahunaville, suites
Cons: , rude employees, small rooms

Avast Matey, It changed
by zurich
I've stayed at T.I. many times, but this last trip I was disapointed by the changes to decor, the pirate show and the sign out front. Funny thing is, it wasn't just me. Every other person I talked to, both guest and staff had the same opinion. However, I still had a great time. It still has nice rooms with a great view, good food, a perfect size casino and the best show on the strip, Mystere.
Pros: Mystere & Location, Cocktail Waitresses, do good job
Cons: , New Pirate Show, Cancelled old chips

A Las Vegas Treasure
by MJEayres
I have stayed in other hotels in Las Vegas but you cannot beat Treasure Island for pure value and class. The rooms are excellent and are extremely reasonably priced.
TIP: I find it is best to book on their website and once you have made your booking keep an eye out on the price as it can go down and then just alter your booking!! I have saved $10-20 per night this way!!
Pros: Rooms Excellent, Not over crowded, Excellent Steak House
Cons: Check In can be slow
Posted 02/18/03
again & again & again....
by carlasgrignoli
This year will be my sixth trip to Vegas in about 10 years, I've stayed at Treasure Island all but twice I've tried two other hotels on the Strip but they just don't add up. The hotel is very clean, I like having a safe in the room, the restaurant & buffet are very good, the casino is the perfect size, the employees are phenomenal. The pool's never been too crowded, I recommend a cabana! All around I'm 110% satisfied with Treasure Island I honestly don't think I'd bother with another hotel.
Pros: clean, great service, big casino
Cons: buffetclosestooearly
Posted 01/15/03
A Great Bachelor Party
by srochen
Great hotel....first time in Vegas. Nice rooms and it was even better to have Starbucks located right in the hotel. Many complain about the location of Treasure Island, but you take taxis everywhere so it really doesn't matter. Not a great casino as you need to bet at least $25/hand to get rated! Overall, a great hotel. I would definitely stay there again.
Pros: Great value, Convenient Parking, Decor
Cons: Casino, Nightlife
Posted 10/25/02
outstanding
by dsarault
We have stayed at most every major hotel in Vegas over the past 28 years, and have only stayed at Treasure Island for the past several. It is the best overall value, great location, and convenient if you rent a car. Service couldn't be better and the best comp policy we have found.
Pros: very clean, comfortable beds, no wait for elevators
Cons: small pool
Posted 07/24/02
Best of all!
by sbd18
The place looks rather drab from the outside from afar but as you get closer you would be impressed. From the buccaneer bay to the rooms everything is simply great. The service was great. The comfort was top notched. I managed to visit almost every hotel in Las Vegas and I think Treasure Island is one of the best if not the best. Best buy too. Got it for $49 a night and a free upgrade to penthouse rooms on the top floor with a great view of the strip.
