Treasure Island

Treasure Island is one of the places on the Strip where you find great rooms, reasonable rates and excellent service. As long as you can handle the pirate décor and a few scantily clad sirens, then Treasure Island is a good choice for your Las Vegas stay.

Treasure Island Accomodations

The check-in is surprisingly fast and the staff is very professional and helpful. As far as room quality, these are among some of the better rooms on the Strip. The rooms are simply decorated without all the flash and glitz that you normally see in Vegas. Amenities are very satisfactory also. You get the normal bottles in the bathroom, which is marble by the way, and hair dryers, as well as in-room safes in each room. Surprisingly, there is not a lot of pirate theme showing in the rooms. They are simply well decorated and comfortable rooms and the rates begin at around $100 a night which is fair. Not luxurious living, but very acceptable.

Treasure Island Dining

For dining, Treasure Island offers fine dining at its best, as well as casual dining with great prices and good food and a few quick bite places. For upscale dining you have a choice of Social House, The Steakhouse, Francesco’s, which offers delicious Italian food and you can watch Chef Marco cook it, and Isla for a new twist on Mexican cuisine. Casual places include Kahunaville, a party bar by night with an excellent dining area and loads of activity, Canter’s Deli, The Buffet at Ti and The Coffee Shop. Quick bites can be obtained at Krispy Kreme, Ben and Jerry’s and, of course there is a Starbuck’s.

Treasure Island Entertainment

For entertainment, Treasure Island offers Mystere, which is another Cirque du Soleil production that features the usual acrobats and contortionists with a French Twist. Mist is an upscale TV bar with drinks and comfortable seating at its best. Sirens of TI is a sexy pirate battles sexy wench type show that will keep you in suspense for hours. For another bar scene, Tangerine offers an upbeat style and a brief burlesque show with a saxophone player that is interesting. If you really want a drink experience, Kahunaville can’t be beat. The drinks are great, the atmosphere is highly charged and party-ish and you can even get a decent bite to eat while you are there.

Treasure Island Casino

In the Casino you will find table games galore like Caribbean Stud, craps, blackjack and roulette along with the other usual games. Bet minimums are around $10 but all games have electronic bet signs that can be changed quickly, so check out the signs by the tables for the latest betting minimums and maximums. Several slot machines are available and run from nickel bets to $100. There are a few full-pay video poker machines and the slot machines come with the MGM Mirage Players Club benefits. If you have a Club card, then you qualify for benefits at the twelve MGM Mirage resorts and casinos. Sports and Race books feature twenty one televisions with one very large one for viewing. There are a total of 44 seats for sports betting and 80 seats for race bets. The race bet seats are highly comfortable and have individual television monitors. There are only 12 betting windows, but they take care of betters rather quickly. Minimum wagers are $5 for sports and $2 for races. In the poker room you will have access to eight tables. The room is fairly closed off from the rest of the casino so it is quiet and semi-secluded from all the other action.

Treasure Island Spa and Pool

There is a heated pool. It is a little small, but still a pool and if you book a cabana, you can get poolside massages thrown in. The spa is more than adequate and features great facial and body treatments by a very professional staff.

Treasure Island Hotel and Casino offers a fair room rate and for the price, it is a great place to stay. For great food you really can’t beat the restaurants at Treasure Island. As long as you don’t mind the pirate theme, it ranks right up there with the best.
