Hotel Spotlight: Treasure Island
[image source: wikipedia]
Treasure Island - now trying hard to be called simply “ti” - was built in 1993 by Steve Wynn for $450 million as part of the Mirage Resorts. It has 2,885 rooms and is located on the Las Vegas Strip.

The pirate theme of the resort was an attraction for the hotel’s first decade (during the “family friendly-ing” of Las Vegas) which included a free nightly pirate show in Buccaneer Bay.
It switched gears in 2003 toward a more sexy, edgy feel with “The Sirens of TI,” a new show in the now-defunct Bay, which was renamed “Sirens Cove.” Also a free nightly show (7pm, 8:30pm, 10pm and 11:30pm daily), it’s aimed at the adult crowd with its bare chested pirates and attractive women. (Interesting trivia: it’s produced by Kenny Ortega of High School Musical fame.)
TI is home to Cirque du Soleil’s Mystère, which has been voted Best Production Show nine times in the LVRJ’s Best of Las Vegas polls.
Popular restaurants include Social House, Francesco’s, Kahunaville, Isla, The Steakhouse, and a Starbucks.
It has been featured or mentioned in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Miss Congeniality 2, Beavis and Butthead Do America, Knocked Up, and the TV series Las Vegas.
