Location Good centre Strip location sitting in between the Mirage and the Fashion Show Mall and nearly opposite the Venetian.  
     
Theme

Much of the fabulous pirate theme has been replaced but thank goodness not all of it. TI still has a Caribbean nautical feel even if the bars are cooler now, its just grown up a bit. TI has started to aim for the higher spending beautiful people market and the theme has had to soften accordingly. I still love it but would prefer a few more skull and crossbones and couple of Captain Jack Sparrows walking round but not quite as much as my girlfriend for some reason..

  
     
Attractions

The Pirate battle has not contrary to some reports ceased but been replaced with the Sexy Sirens of TI, now this is good because it means you don’t have to suffer a load of colonials sinking kicking the Brits arse so many times a day but not so good as the classic swashbuckler for me, still one of the best freebies on the Strip and aimed at trendy cool 20/30/40 something dude and dudette market ! Its well worth making time to see two full sized ships battle it out on the high seas .

  
     
Shopping The shopping is ok as long you only want to by goods that have the Treasure Island motif on them or stuff to prove (or not as the case may be) that you saw the Cirque du Soleil. But hey you don't need a brilliant shopping you are but a gang plank's walk away from The fashion Show Mall is and you are better off shopping here than at any casino.  
     
Dining The Treasure Island Buffet (B:$12.00, L:$15.00 D:$20.00 weekends $26.00 ) is smaller than most and the food is OK but not up to the keeping of everything else in the fine establishment, they do however bring you a carafe of your chosen drink which is good as it saves you waiting for refills. Buccaneer Bay has been replaced by social house which is a pity but its good even if the portions are a bit on the small size. There are 6 other restaurants here including Italian, Chinese and a very posh steak house, it must be noted that all food at Treasure Island is expensive. Along with these eateries there is a very good but expensive coffee shop.  
     
Gaming 51,152 sq ft of gaming space I was actually surprised when doing the research for this site to find out it was so small, it feels much bigger. There are 2,200 slot machines lots of them with pirate type themes where you have to line up three cannon balls to attempt to sink a boat ect, surprisingly there are loads of nickel machines here. Nearly 70 tables adorn the floor with the minimum stake being $5 but as soon as people start coming through the doors these rise. The casino has a low roof and dimmed lights but does not feel either claustrophobic or smoky. There are lots of bars scattered around and they have some of the best bar staff in Vegas all of the bars are classy and relaxed we like it here.  
     
Drinks Service The drinks themselves are good but long waits for them have been experienced.  
     
Best Thing Think it has to be the theme but the bars come a close second.  
     
Worst Thing Um Um Um Um like the Mirage very difficult to fault maybe the crush of trying to get in through the front door whilst the psirens of TI is going on.  
     
Overall This is a very well themed high class joint that is aiming to attract a young trendy well heeled bunch of punters. The staff are great and the whole place really does have a good feel thought I am not cool enough. Hosting one of the best free shows on the Strip adds to the attraction of this casino and makes it one of the best on the Strip
