249 reviews for Treasure Island
Treasure Island, also known as the TI, has been around for a while. Located at the north end of the Strip, TI is sandwiched between the Fashion Show Mall and The Mirage Hotel and Casino. It across from The Venetian and Wynn.
Since the remodel a few years back, all of the restaurants and clubs have changed and are much better/higher rated than they used to be. On a recent visit, I noticed that the Christian Audigier club is located where Tangerine used to be. There is everything from high-end steakhouses to Starbucks coffee on-property.
Cirque du Soleil has a show at TI, which is Mystere. There is also the Sirens of TI show, which is free nightly, and headline acts that perform like Bill Cosby and LeAnn Rimes.
I have had a few funny experiences on this property over the years. I have nothing bad to say other than I do not visit often because I am usually across the street at one of the aforementioned casinos. Definitely worth a visit, whether you are staying there or not.
Wow. I am totally surprised to see this place has more than 2 stars. Aside from being one of the cheapest places on the strip, I really do not see the pull for this place.
The updated rooms are ok, but the bed was one of those beds that I can feel it every time my wife flinches. The whole place smelled like the carpet was flooded and not cleaned properly.
Here is my biggest beef of all; we paid for the room and got 2 free tickets to Mystere. We went to the will call to pick them up, and were told to get confirmation from the front desk. The other couple that were there had our print-out, and the front only referred me to another useless employee. We were the 4th couple that day to be stiffed on their "promo."
I expect to receive no more sympathy, and would not stay there if it were free. The other couples said the same, and they have stayed there for the past 5 years. I guess they lost a lot when the management/owners changed.
Avoid it. Spend a few more a night, and stay across the street.

I'm kind of a professional hotel-goer these days. I was very dissapointed in TI. The difference between a 4 star and a 5 star just seem to be too broad. Here is a helpful list. I am a mature Yelper now and won't waste time telling you a deeply personal story. Just figure it out.
Pros:
1. The bed was awesome.
2. The location is great, but make sure you cross at Mirage if you are walking down the strip or you will be stuck walking all the way through Wynn. I learned that the hard way while wearing tights in 90 degree weather. Not pretty.
3. It's not a huge labyrinthian layout that will make you get lost.
Cons:
1. Being a hotwire user, we are pretty much hated by all hotel industry. I always get the shittiest, crappiest rooms when using hotwire or priceline. Sorry I don't want to pay your excessively overinflated fees. Our room faced the god-awful Sirens show and when that wasn't going on, was really dark. it was very New York.
2. Lame, no name products in the bathroom. Something called "WET" which just sounds unpleasant. At least Palms, another mediocre 4-star, had Aveda.
3. The goddamn resort fee they make you pay. And for what, exactly? Not even a USA Today or coffee-maker in the room.
I probably won't stay here again. Lesson learned: either pay less and stay somewhere cheesy that is upfront about its lack of luxury like Excalibur or do it up at a 5 star. Or stay at MGM at all costs.

Great stay here. I'll just list the basic pros and cons to make it easy:
PROS:
-Beds were extremely comfy
-Bathroom was clean and not worn down
-Hallways were quiet, no loud kids or screaming babies or drunk tards
-Housekeeping checked up on us when had Do not Disturb on the door at 1pm (we slept in)
-Vanity in the main room was fancy and large mirror, great for ladies
-Nice view of the strip
CONS
-Shower is extremely narrow and small. Not alot of room to move around due to an ironing board in the shower. Standing straight at the showerhead is a challenge. This puzzled me because bathroom itself was big....
-Doors are slightly hard to open. Girlfriend couldnt open it. You must pull down HARD.
-Not too many TV channels....wasn't an issue until it was late at night and we weren't going out.
Overall we had a pleasant stay and i would definitely stay again.

Stayed here on my last trip to Vegas. The rooms are nice, and it is not very expensive to stay here. I would consider satying here again.
I had an amazing experience at TI. Why???
+the pool and (warm) jacuzzi felt so relaxing
+located near xs and tao (the party spots for the weekend)
+the nicest beds everrrrrr -- I think it was like...10000000 threadcount sheets. like velvet!
+huge bathroom with plenty of mirror and counter space for prepping
+iron, iron board, hair blow dryer, mini safe in your closet
+flat screen tv/computer
+let us check out a little later since we got there late
+ben and jerrys and starbucks was located downstairs
+got wristband for open bar (well drinks) to Christian Audiger until 1am
BUT I gotta minus one star because...
-no bathroom vent (hot showers=steam=blech)
-no fridge or coffee maker
-no cable
-our view sucked
-jacuzzi could've been hotter
-they never give enough towels
-one receptionist worker laughed in our faces when we asked about coupon books for the strip
I definitely would not mind staying here again on my next trip!!

Nice place for the price. The pool is small and the restaurants lacking, and loud. Still, the rooms are very comparable to the more upscale, more expensive hotels in Vegas along the strip. The nightclub is really fun without the silly waits and exclusivity.
It's no longer a kid's hotel. They cater to 21-40 year olds.

Last trip Dallas G and I decided to do a quick trip to hang with Richard Z for a couple of days. Treasure Island had the best rates in the area of the strip we wanted to stay in. Plus we had never stayed here and we wanted to give it a shot. Pleasantly surprised.
The room was very nice, with the most comfortable bed of any hotel I have stayed in. The bathroom was big and clean. Shower didn't have a curtain, which is worth 2 stars alone.
We have gambled here a few times. The craps can be found for cheap and the dealers may even lower the table minimum if there is no action. Walked away one night $250 up on a $5 table. It was rad. Plus, the dealers were fun which is always a bonus.
There are no eateries to write home about. There used to be a sushi place called Social House, but it closed. Definitely give this place a shot if you are looking for somewhere to stay.

booked the place. they put us on the last room before they remodeled entire hotel. find out the last day. wasn't pleasant experience
TI had great rates the weekend I was going to be in town for the Mariah Carey concert at the Palms. The rooms are updated and comfortable and the location of the hotel was almost perfect for the things we had planned. Across the street from TI are The Venetian and The Palazzo where the nightclubs Tao and Lavo are located. So when we partied we just had to cross the street and ta-da, we're at the club.
2 stars are just for the fact that Kahunaville is located inside TI. Kahunaville is becoming my favorite bar in Vegas. Also conveniently located in TI is a Starbucks, for that morning pick me up. My only complaint would be that their slots sucked. They weren't loose by any means. Usually I can come up a little on the slots but not at TI.
I debated giving the hotel 4 stars just because of how amazingly crappy the free Sirens show is, but the other aspects of the place won me over enough to squeak in the extra star. I came into the hotel not expecting a whole lot but got a whole lot. I'll break it down into sections:
Staff - The staff were very friendly and helpful from the check-in guy who upsold us to a suite for $50 more a night (which was well worth it, more on that later) to the room service guy who brought us our dinner one night and our free champagne the next night).
Accomodations - We upgraded to a suite which had two bathrooms (one with an uber-deep jacuzzi tub and one with an awesome shower) which was well worth the extra $50 a night. The bed and linens were amazing. When checking in, ask for a strip view and clarify you want a view on the pool side and not the Sirens side. We also had family staying in a non-suite which we visted and had the same great beds and linens and a very nice bathroom with a deep tub.
Casino - Pretty standard fare. Good amounts of slots and table games. $5 blackjack during non-prime times, $10-15 minimum during peak hours.
Food - Loved the buffet and room service from The Coffee Shop was great (try the malted milk cake...delicious and only $7). The deli/sandwich place was overpriced and under-delivered.
Extras - The Starbucks was easily accessible. The tram to the Mirage was great, although it's only a short walk. The Sirens show was embarassingly bad. Not "this is so bad you have to see it" bad, but just "I kind of wish I had a sharp object to stab in my eyes and ears" bad. Zero entertainment value to it....it's too risque for kids but then not risque enough for the 20-30ish crowd they're trying to attract. Not sure it really has anything to offer to anyone. Also, Mystere is performed here...a good all-around show that's not heavy on the wallet.
Overall, I loved this place. It's located higher up on the strip near the more upper-end casinos and is only a $15 cab ride to the hotels on the south end of the strip. I'll stay here again for sure.
I really really liked this hotel a lot.
I had trouble deciding between the Mirage, where our friends were staying and TI, where I found a special for $80 less a night.
My gut is usually never wrong and this case was definitely no different.
Our view out the window of the strip was incredible. We saw it light up all the way down each night and it was way cooler to look at then to be around. (:
I loved our room. It had the most comfortable hotel bed with the best pillows and linens EVER. The blankets weighed 552 pounds and crushed you to death when you laid under them and it was excellent!
The TI Wet Spa products were also really nice. Smelled amazing.
The fact that there is a tram over to the Mirage proved to definitely be an extreme score with how often we were going back and forth between rooms.
The casino part is honestly just like every other I believe. I didnt care to spend too much time around the smoke and money pit foolishness.
We didnt get to see the full Siren show because we were a little behind at life but overall, the hotel is the only thing about Vegas that didnt disappoint me at all. (:

We have stayed here twice and both times we had a great experience. The rooms are always clean and was updated and hip. The location is also ideal being in the center of it all. The prices are very very reasonable for being located centrally and having newer updated rooms. The casino itself can use some help to liven it up a bit. Always a good no brainer if you're looking for something reasonable in Vegas.

I'll use this review to rate the hotel/casino proper.
Treasure Island, or, TI as it's called now, is a pretty good hotel in Vegas. not the best, but certainly not the worst. it's definitely geared towards the 20- and 30-something crowd, and is shaking off its once family-based friendly pirate theme. arrrrrgh, matey!
the rooms are fairly standard - no fridge, but the bathroom is big. we had a 32nd floor room, with a view directly above the pirate ship.
speaking of which, the Sirens show has strippers, pirates, and explosions. it's like if Michael Bay did "Pirates of the Caribbean" as a live theater show. in other words, AWESOME.
the bed...holy crap, I don't think I've slept in a better bed in any hotel ever before! I passed right out each night (that may also have been partially due to lots of partying, but I didn't wake up once during each night).
guests at the hotel get coupons to the shop, the restaurants, VIP passes to the Sirens show, and free access to the Christian Audiger club.
one last thing, the location is awesome - a majority of the hotels are right nearby (okay, "right nearby" in Strip terms means a 10-15 minute walk).
kudos for having an easy-to-navigate layout compared to the other hotels. this is a much appreciated fact when it's 6:30 AM and you are stumbling back, completely twisted on drinks.
I'd stay again!

yayy i won monies here!
it's kinda funny because you'd think Treasure Island or "ti" which is i think they're new marketing renewal gimmick now, would be more pirate themed. Like there should be pirate stuff everywhere. But there isn't? How am I supposed to feel like a swashbuckling vagabond invading the blackjack tables when i can't get my pirate ambiance on?
Best Part: I'm playing that wheel spinny thing where u bet on if it ends on 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40 (not roulette) and me and my friends starting shooting spirit fingers at the wheel as it's spinning and the old lady dealer totally did it with us. then she even switched it up into drawing clockwise and counter clockwise circles in the air with her arms. And we copied her. It was great. We shared a moment.

TI is not the hippest, most happening hotel on the Strip. But sometimes, for some people, that can be a good thing. If you want to be in the middle of a million people anytime you step outside your hotel room, if you must have a gazillion restaurants right at your doorstep, and if you don't mind being sequestered at the far end of the Strip and waiting 15 minutes in the taxi line any time you want to go anywhere, go stay at the MGM Grand.
As for TI, the location in mid-strip is extremely convenient and is probably one of the best things about the hotel. Parking is plentiful and free. The hotel is lively but not out of control; busy but not overwhelmed with people. Our petite suite was very nice and blessedly and remarkably quiet, even though the suites are right near the 'vators, and we enjoyed the jacuzzi tub and the large shower. (Not as luxurious as the Venetian suites, but much cheaper, too.) The clients at TI run the gamut from business folks to older folks to younger people looking to party and families. It seems like a good mix, nothing too wild but not staid and boring either.
I wasn't impressed by the food in the hotel. The brunch buffet was pretty bad. The Italian restaurant was just OK. The upscale Asian place upstairs has decent, if pricey, food and a wonderful outdoor patio, complete w/a view of the Strip and the pirate-ship-portion of the crappy Britneyesque Sirens show. But the Pho restaurant was terrific - and a big bowl of Vietnamese chicken noodle soup is awesome after imbibing.
The other disappointment was the pool. We should have taken the tram over to the Mirage hotel pool, but we were lazy. The TI pool is small and at certain hours becomes party central, complete with really loud booming music and lots of drunk people waving around enormous drinks.
Next time, we may try the Wynn hotel - it looks really nice and has lots of trees and greenery on the property. Wynn is very close to TI.
You always take a gamble when you stay in a hotel/casino you have never even been to before (yes, pun intended). I would say that I definitely came out a winner this time around!!
My sister just turned 21, so it was obviously necessary for me to take her to Vegas. Luckily my mom and my sisters best gal pal agreed. So we embarked on an adventure that I guarantee can not possibly be duplicated, but we were more than impressed with the accommodations we called 'home' for three nights.
I love my bed. We have had a wonderful, committed relationship for the past five years. Sure, I've slept around but I always knew I was coming back home to you. It was a close call this time... I didn't want to leave and I definitely spent more time sleeping than I should have. But I couldn't tear myself away! The bed was just so damn comfortable and the linens were so soft and luxurious!
Now, I wasn't really a fan of the restaurants they had there but they did have a cool bar called Kahunaville with a station outside by the pool. We got these huge huge huge drinks (three of us had to share) and I would say we had a pretty nice time relaxing by the pool. Not the coolest pool in the world, but it served its purpose and we found four lounge chairs next to one another.
Good location. The price was outstanding! We ended up paying like $80 per night. The rooms really were very nice, the bathrooms were huge (although there was no blow dryer in the room) and when our Ipod docking station wasn't working very well, we called down to room service and they brought us a new one within the hour.
Great value, amazing bed... if I can muster up the will to go to Vegas again, I will certainly be back to share another night of bliss with the amazing bed.

With business down, it's become quite easy to get a decent hotel in Vegas lately. We got our room for $59/night. Great deal in that regard, but this place rates 4 stars because:
The reception staff is the nicest I had in a long while - including more up-scale and much more expensive hotels. We got in late (I won't get into the 90 minute wait the geniuses at Budget car rental put us through...) and there were no more non-smoking kings. The nice lady at the counter put us in a 34th floor corner room with strip view and told us "call down immediately if it smells too funky in there." When we got up, it was fine and didn't smell smoky. The rooms are not huge, but it was newly remodeled and quite lovely. The beds are super comfy and the floor-to-ceiling views (including full view of the night show) was fantastic.

Only stayed here once, but I'm definitely a fan. Stayed in a petite suite. Great view, giant his/hers bathrooms and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in while in Vegas. Can't beat the center strip location either. I'll definitely be back!
Never stayed here, but this review is for the Pirate show I saw last year.
It was all going good until an announcement came on and said something like 'Due to reasons beyond our control, the show has been canceled'. The actors stopped what they were doing and just walked off the set....No explanation or nothing! At least the show was free!!

This room has a great bed and the ammeneties are great.
The pirate show is not good at all. Its not like before with fireworks and the an extended show !
Great crab legs in the buffet.
I recommend this casino.

A lot better than Luxor but can't compare this hotel to anything else except the Wynn, and that would not be a useful comparo!
The bed was very very very comfortable and the pillow were like white fluffy clouds. The casino is OK and the amenities are decent. This isn't a great place to stay, BUT it IS way better than Luxor and similarly priced!
Pros: mid-strip location, beds and pillows
Cons: nothing really, you can't really pay the price to stay here and bitch about its lack of class and prestige, either spend the $ and stay at the Wynn, Palazzo, etc... or save that money and stay at this place. It's not the best, but it sure as heck isn't the worst! (Luxor is by far the worst rank crusty hotel I've stayed at on the strip)

Loved this hotel! Check in was a breeze! We had a view of the strip and the pool area. The rooms were very nice and modern. We had a problem with the IPOD deck but I called downstairs and they brought one up promptly. The casino area wasn't hella big nor was it small. It was just right for me :). They had a bridge type thing that connects you to the Fashion Show Mall. It is outside and it was burning up but it wasn't to bad.
The beds were so comfy, I wish my bed was that nice lol. Everything was clean and nice.
Price wise: I got our hotel on a promotion deal they were having but I don't think their hotel is that expensive even without the deal I received. However, if they cont to have deals like that, they will see me every year I'm in Vegas lol!
Overall, def will stay here again! I want to try out Cesar's Palace or MGM just to see what the other hotels are like but I def recommend TI.
Treasure Island Pool
Treasure Island pool has changed since I last was there two years ago. T.I.'s pool used to be a semi-quiet and relaxing pool to hang out at to recoup from the night or morning before. That's not the case anymore, well not for this past weekend (18th-20th Sep 09). They had a DJ kicking out tunes which really set the tone for pool...party central. And a party it was! The pool area is small compared to other pools and was packed by 2 pm and turned into a floating dance floor with everyone grinding, drinking, and celebrating. What were they celebrating? There were bachelor, bachelorette, 21st birthday, and even divorce parties cutting lose. There were guy and girl dance competitions, Hula Hoop contests, and other silly antics.
I recommend for drinks to stick to bucks of beer (a.k.a buckets of beer) which have ice to keep them cold poolside (6 beers $42). For mixed drinks I recommend the medium tube glasses at $18 each because the smaller cups ($9) melt too quickly and the yard sticks seemed bulky.
If you are with a group I recommend reserving a cabana (#8) which will allow you a place to sun your buns and grab some shade when you need it. There are two chairs and three lounge chairs with each cabana. Plus your cabana comes with a flat LCD screen to watch some sports games.
Prices:
Monday - Thursday / $175.00
Friday - Sunday (except holidays) / $200.00
Half day prices may be available.
Cabana Times:
Daily / 9:00am - 6:00pm
This wasn't the Wet Republic (MGM Grand) but it was a GREAT time nevertheless!

Treasure Island Casino
Treasure Island casino is a GREAT place to stay on the strip. Nice rooms, friendly staff, and great amenities (shows, gym, clubs, pool, and restaurants). Somewhat centrally located and can get to most other attraction and casinos easily. I would like to say it pays to be a player's club patron because the comps are excellent. This stay 18th - 20th Sep my room was free, received $355 in player's reward cash (slots), VIP club passes, and was offered buy one get one free mystique show tickets.
The downside of this was in the terms of the gambling. I used the $355 in player's reward cash (slots) to win a little over $200 in actual cash. I blew through that and my original $50 in less than 40 minutes. I went to several different machines of different bets (.25, .50, and $1) and could not get more than cherries (6 credits) or odd combination bars (15 credits). So I quit for the night. The next evening I tried again and blew $60 just as fast.
Yes I know slots are casino's bread and butter and you'll lose 9 times out of ten, but I normally will play for several hours going back and forth winning and losing and having fun and slowly putting more money in as I go. But the slots were tighter than a frog's watertight ass. Last time I was here I saw individuals winning $10k, $2.5K, and $1.2k, not a single person I saw won. This time I saw a guy get up from a slot machine and reminded him his player's card was in the machine and he said they can keep it along with his money (ouch). Like him I wasn't having fun so I didn't gamble. I normally blow $900+ a trip but only lost $110 of my own cash. Actually came back with $1.4K of the $1.6K I brought.
So stick to the tables or hang out at the pool (that is what I did 6 hours a day).

Great hotel, stayed here many times. Clean room and bathroom, comfy bed and awesome a/c, i love a really cold room. Get a nice view of the strip if you stay in the rooms facing it. The casino isn't bad either, not the best one for "wow" factor but it's there if you're interested. Have pirate show during the night outside at the pirate ship, although a few times I was there they shut down the show to come up with something new or they were remodeling the ship so I only got to see it twice.
Also, I really like this place because they gave me FREE TICKETS to shows on the strip. Shows like Cirque de soleil, one of the magic shows, which sadly I didn't go b/c of time conflict. And the tickets were all for the day of our choosing.
Probably the best part is overall the rate isn't all that bad for Vegas hotel on the strip. Granted if you come when there are special events like NASCAR, the rate might be higher but I been able to get deals on the rooms every time I been here.
First time staying at Treasure Island. Usually stay at higher-scale hotels when I go with my parents, or lower-scale hotels when I go with friends. But this time, got the Spa Suite at Treasure Island. The room was a little smaller than I imagined, but quite nice. Two bathrooms, one with shower and the other a giant tub. Had a nice north view of the Strip as well.
Like most casinos/hotels, Treasure Island had everything. Had the lunch buffett one day, and the Vietnamese restaurant next to the cafe another day. Both were good! Caught the Mystere show one night. Check-in and check-out were speedy.
One of the best things about Treasure Island is the location. It's one of the few hotels that isn't priced sky high and still located in the middle of everything. I heard the Fashion Mall across the street isn't too great, but at least it's across the street.
I guess my only complaint about this place was how long it took to get a new blow dryer delivered from housekeeping. It seriously took 40 minutes, 4 phone calls, and a dozen apologies. And the replacement didn't work either.
Other than that, I'd definitely stay at Treasure Island again!

TI used to NOT be the spot some years ago. It's still not 'the spot' now, but it's improved quite a bit over the years. They've done some nice renovations for all the rooms and I've gotta say, they look pretty attractive now. The rooms have nice furniture, there's a good amount of space, and everything looks clean and presentable.
There's ample parking in their garage if you rented a car, but you might as well leave it there. TI's got a good, central location on the Strip, so most things should be within walking distance. Nifty. Also, the price is good, especially if you book in advance. They've got some nice deals on their website for reduced rates. Last thing, and totally subjective, but I feel like their machines in the casino are luckier than other places. Maybe they've got more favorable programming...

T.I. is not the best hotel & resort to stay on the strip, but it's up there without spending a good part of your gambling/fun money on a hotel room. I actually booked my room a month or so early & as a result, it ended up being about $105 / night, which was a frickin' steal to me for staying in the middle of the strip during an apparently very busy weekend.
I read that another recent reviewer found that there wasn't a hairdryer in her room & I don't blame her because I had to actually search for mine & I found it in the closet .. the top of the closet. & being a short person, I did NOT appreciate that at all. If my husband didn't need to get to the iron, then I probably wouldn't have found it. The showerhead kind of suck too & there's no vent in the bathroom .. which doesn't help after a night of drinking, if you know what I mean.
The buffet @ T.I. surprisingly isn't bad either. I've eaten at the Wynn buffet twice (first time was awesome, second time .. I've had better) & I actually like the buffet at T.I. better. Could be that I was ridiculously hungry because I hadn't eaten anything all day but it sure beat waiting in line for 30 mins @ the Wynn. The lady that was clearing away our dishes (I think her name was Stephanie) was very prompt & polite. Our drinking glasses never saw the bottom.
The BEST thing about my stay at T.I. was the bed. Good Lord! That bed is comfy =] The lady at the front desk when we were checking in asked if we wanted a low floor or a high floor (at the same price) gave us a high floor with a gorgeous view.
Overall, very satisfied. Not extremely, astoundingly satisfied. But satisfied, nonetheless =]

Vegas Trip 11AM
I love this hotel. I will never stay anywhere else. We pulled our car in and enter the bag boys always want to help...LOL..If you tip...Did not have a lot of bag so we carried our own stuff..Check in line was not long but we did not go to that line we line up where it say's invited guest because that is what we are in this place always invited and always comp room. YES COMP ROOM....We get a phone call almost every month getting invites on when are we coming back which is almost monthly always staying one day only but on this trip we stayed for 3 days. We decided to gamble early because when it get's busy here it get's busy so hard to get a table to play that is why we end up playing in the high roller sometimes just so we get some play time. minimum $100.00 per bet per table. Did i lose any money YES on the first 15 mins. i am already asking the pit boss for a refill... DAMN my bill will be high this time but guess what i do not care LOL...gambled for about 2 hours and it is time to eat again...Vegas does this to me always hungry and always eating always gambling. Got a phone call from my peeps im suppose to meet up with and they decided to go to this asian bufffet located in rainbow blvd called BUFFET@ASIAN II. This would be on my next review...

Why do you punish us with that new pirate show? Yeah, it's a siren song all right, my earwax melted, my drums popped, and I've never prayed for death before... but I did a little shout out to Jesus about 2.43 seconds into this 'pirate' show.

They've done a nice job of remodeling the hotel and casino. It's very modern, and very comfy. The hotel rooms are really quite nice, and the beds are SICK.
However, the FOOD in the place, is just below standard.
"The Coffee Shop" restaurant is mediocre diner food at best, and the service, while friendly, is slow and somewhat lacking in care. Also, it's the ONLY place open for food in the casino past around 10pm. Or room service...but it's the same food as they have at the Coffee Shop...only it's somehow, worse, by the time it arrives.
Also, the muscle-bound, gold necklace wearing, D-Bag quotient is quite low at TI, which makes the evenings far more palatable.
All-in-all, I'd stay there again, but I'd eat somewhere else. The RA sushi restaurant at Fashion Show Mall, while a chain, is far tastier than anything else we ate at TI.

After a major screw up by me, booking the room for the 22nd and driving up to Vegas on the 21st, it was not until I hit state line when The Jennifer mentioned today is the "21st" until it dawned on me that we have no room and no place to stay unless I want to us to shack up with my buddy and his new found girlfriend. Not likely...I called the front desk and explained to them what had happened and they said they can't switch my date. I used my salesman skills and talked my way into the switch with terms like : I know you can really use my business, look at my account, look at my points, I have always had a great experience here, etc, etc, and walla! I got us the room but had to pay the difference; fair enough. When we checked in, we even got a corner room with dual windows!!
Only problem during our trip was when housekeeping took the floor mat in the bathroom, leaving the bathroom with no floor mat so when you come out of the shower; water is everywhere. So we called housekeeping and they did manage to bring one up - half hour later. It was a small issue, the room was clean and nice. It rained so we can't use the pool since they closed it because of thunderstorm. TI is always a good value and is close to everything.
TIPS:
If you stay at the Hotel, you get VIP standing for the Sirens show if you want to see some of the hot chics in Fish Nets bellow out some cheesy pirate lyrics.
Also, the Video Black Jack and Video Roulette does not give points on the gaming card...WTF is up with that??

T.I. err I mean Treasure Island never fails me. I love this hotel and I usually stay here 60% of… Read more »
Good buffet for only $17.99
a lot of dessert selections, the pasta section was nice, small portion but great tasty...
if you want a reasonable buffet, this may be a good place?!
Have any of you even BEEN to the other shitty hotels on The Strip??? TI isn't so bad and I'm happy to say it's a pretty good place for families considering almost my entire extended family stayed here for a wedding. It was easy to find them and to find places to eat, the pool is somewhat kid friendly (but definitely earlier in the day), and gambling is a breeze. The rooms are clean and modern now that TI has been remodeled. It's also really quick to get your car back from valet and some places take forever. I also like that the casino floor isn't a giant maze or jungle and it's easy to navigate.
The four stars is for one thing that, for me, stood out about TI.
The beds.
Our bed was so freaking comfortable! And the comforter and sheets are luxuriously soft. Honestly, I was really surprised at how comfortable the beds are here. And as someone who does not stay out all night long, I appreciated having a very nice bed to sleep in.
Additional props to TI for recognizing the brilliance of having a pho restaurant on the Strip!
The rooms were attractively furnished. And that's about the only good thing I can say about T.I. There was no coffee maker, no hairdryer - little things I've come to expect when I travel.
The service from the front desk to the restaurants was universally awful. 45 minutes to check in because there were only 2 front desk staff. The service at the Coffee Shop couldn't have been worse, we had to send out lunch back.
My strip view room actually overlooked a parking garage roof mostly but if you turned just the right way you could see the strip.
And at $170 a night this is no bargain place. I expect better.
'Twas a royal drag waiting in the long line to check in. The stoic lass who checked us in appeared tight-lipped about where locals went for fun, but she did set us up on the 26th floor with a great view of the strip. The deluxe room was nicely furnished and comped for three nights, so what could we really complain about? Actually, the TV sucked with its senile remote control and scattered satellite signal, and it wasn't set up to crane out of the wall. Still, the king-sized bed was comfortable and nice to lie in to watch a bit of "vacation TV," a.k.a. Saved By the Bell.
Someone stole our Do Not Disturb sign, so it was annoying to have housekeeping scream greetings into our room bright and way too early the next day. At least it motivated us to go down to the pool, which is lounge-worthy, but rather small, and made especially so by the slew of sunbathers claiming their plastic chaise lounges at bloody nine in the friggin morning, I mean, people, could you not sleep off your hangover in the dank of your curtained hotel room? Imported beers cost $10 a plastic pint, but since it's practically the medicine of Vegas, we were fine with the $60 breakfast buzz bill (solids not included).
I like to gamble with minimal effort, which is to say, I dig the $1 Wheel of Fortune machines. It's all about the spin, baby. That is, until you're $300 into a machine that keeps teasing with small winnings but never delivers the money shot. That's when you spin the situation and say to each other, "It's all about the comp dollars, baby" and look for a cocktail waitress to at least get that free drink. Unfortunately there seems to be a severe dearth in free-drinks-slinging cocktail waitresses at TI and at most of the casinos. Damn this recession.

After this weekend, I can officially say I'm sick of TI.
To get to floors 31 and above, you will need to slide your room key inside the elevator. I stayed in the executive suite with a view of the strip. The view was AH-MAZE-ING. Palazzo was sitting directly in front of us, and I could see the TI ship right below.
The suite was on the smaller side, but it was enough to fit four girls. We had a king bed with THE most comfortable bed I have EVER slept in. There's also a small plasma that you can angle so you can watch TV from your bed. There's a glass wall directly in front of the bed. The glass is the type where you can't see through it. On the other side is the long couch that can fit two people, a refridgerator, a large plasma, and a big desk that faces the strip.
For a group of girls, the idea of having two separate bathrooms is genius. One bathroom had a shower and the other had a huge tub. There is also a big dresser where you can put your folded clothes, and a closet in each bathroom. I wish they had switches for the fans in their bathrooms. The only way you can turn them on is through the AC switch. When you choose to turn on the fan, you will have no choice but to have the fan on in your room too.
All of my meals this weekend were from room service. For a late night snack Friday, we ordered chicken noodle soup. The chicken was super dry and it had small strips of carrots. It was okay, definitely not the best I've had. For breakfast, I had the "eggs any style" which came with two egg whites, 3 big round pieces of sausage, hash brown, and sourdough bread. Again, nothing over the top. It was diner quality. I wasn't a fan of their sausage, but it was between bacon and sausage and I hate bacon.
For dinner, we had the vermicelli with bbq pork. Do not order the pho! Read my review on their restaurant. The vermicelli was undercooked, kind of hard to swallow down. The pork had a lot of fat on it, but I like fat! You get four eggrolls if you order the appetizer. Not what I remembered when I ate it at Pho. Super dry and taste wasn't all that.
Their buffalo wings were grosse. It was overly salty and it tasted like it was marinated in tobasco sauce. The actual wings were a good size with lots of meat on them. Unfortunately, the taste killed it. The clubhouse sandwich was a nice size, but their french fries were too salty. They were big thick fries, but we simply couldn't finish all of it because of the saltiness.
The lady that took our orders on the phone was super friendly. We had a short conversation after I ordered, but I was impressed with her customer service.
TIP: If you order room service, remember that gratuity is already included in your bill. When they bring you the check, there's a space for you to leave tip. We knew gratuity was already included, so we never added more tip. This seemed to have pissed off the guy that brought us our food, because he never thanked us or even cracked a smile. What a jerk!
If you want Social House, you'll have to eat at their restaurant. No room service from them BOO! Valet has been consistently great. I just wanted to get my sunglasses and sandals from the car, and they had someone run to the car to get it for me. If you want to take a taxi, it's across the way from the entrance to the casino.
Decent hotel with decent food. No more TI for awhile!

A definite upgrade!
Gone is the campy, swashblucking decor of yesteryear. Treasure Island has kept up with the times and modernized their look in order to accommodate a younger audience. They've renovated their rooms with chic, modern furniture (not to mention their amazingly comfortable mattress) and a sweet flat screen TV. The pool also opened for the summer the time I went there in March, which was awesome. Tons of lounges with pop-up flags to alert waitresses when you're in need of a poolside dranky drank. And you can't beat the room rates, especially with their prime location on the Strip! It's walking distance from Fashion Show Mall, the Wynn, the Mirage and the Palazzo. Perfect when you're stumbling out of the club at 3am and strapped for cash.
Definitely coming back!

The Treasure Island has undergone quite a few changes in the last few years. The hotel has gone from campy, pirate, family-friendly to sexy vamp. The pool area is smaller than the normal resort pool but the music is loud and fun. The beds are pillow-tops of heaven. The rooms are clean and remodeled. Upon check-in the front desk gave me the option of a room on a higher floor with a view for the same rate. I was also able to request a 3rd bed for my room for no additional cost.
