Treasure Island - TI Hotel & Casino

Overview

Treasure Island Hotel and Casino (also known as Treasure Island Las Vegas and "TI") is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip with 2,884 rooms and 220 suites, and is connected by tram to The Mirage as well as pedestrian bridge to the Fashion Show Mall shopping center.

Treasure Island opened with a focus on family fun, including the pirate show and a 25,000 sq ft (2,300 m2) arcade. However, shortly after opening, executives realized that the resort's heavy pirate theme did not appeal to people interested in a weekend getaway. Wynn began a long renovation of the resort to improve business, a project that had cost approximately $150 million as of 2003. The changes included a $65 million renovation of the hotel rooms. Other changes included relocating the front desk closer to the pool, approximately three years after the resort opened. In addition, the arcade was reduced to 1,200 sq ft (110 m2). The various changes improved business and were considered successful.

On October 21, 2013, the Sirens of TI pirate battle show closed in order to add a new multi-level shopping and entertainment center which opened in April 2015 with a 24-hour CVS as the anchor tenant along with the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. exhibit, which opened May 26, 2016. The ships used for the show remained in front of the resort.

Entertainment

The resort is home to Cirque du Soleil's Mystère, which introduced the entertainment style of Franco Dragone. The show opened in 1993 as the original Cirque du Soleil production in Las Vegas. Mystère has been voted nine times as the best production show in the city by the Las Vegas Review-Journal reader's poll.
