were from the uk, weve stayed at Ti 3 times and its my wifes favourite hotel in vegas. we have stayed at paris, horseshoe, bellagio. it was clean, easy to navigate, the golden circle was a good bar. would recommend
stayed there in July, my only issues was the food court sucked, literally the only thing open was popeyes, and the AC was horrible in the rooms, I actually switched rooms and it was pretty bad too, and talking to another person they said their AC was bad also. I stayed when it was around 110 degrees and the AC just couldn't keep up. To be fair though for the price, location and free parking it was a great place to stay on a budget. I had a pulled pork burger at Gilleys, then later nachos, place was really good. That CVS was a huge rip off, I drove 10 minutes to Walmart and got my stuff. I stayed there 4 days and by the time I left I was still getting lost in there, lol. I got to stay there the week that the mirage closed, got to walk through the resort on the last night and could see the volcano show from my hotel room.
Stayed there several times. Always a clean room with no issues. Casino is great. Never had a problem getting drinks while playing. Thanks for an honest review and great video.
My wife (then GF) and I made Treasure Island our home base hotel from the very beginning through all the 90's. Must have stayed here 15 or 20 times. When it first opened it was awesome. Serious Pirate theme everywhere. Good restaurants. Treasure all stacked up around the bars. The Battle bar overlooked the pirate show outside. The casino smelled like magnolias. Skull and Crossbones marquee, this place was so nice. As time passed things started to change. Sold to MGM, Skull and Crossbones marquee replaced by the letter TI. Pirate show turned into a bunch of scantily dressed chicks dancing around. Not family friendly. Then no show outside at all. This place had it's heyday. Oh well. They say never get used to anything in Las Vegas. Everything is eventually going to change or go away all together.
The fact that Las Vegas is removing its Themed Hotels is a huge mistake! Its what made Vegas unique. The prices have jumped hugely, so its no longer an attractive destination to most foreigners.
Stayed there last summer, cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed at, even cleaner than the expensive boujee hotels, best customer service I ever had too, mall and CVS is right there
We’re from the uk and stayed there 26 years ago when we got married and we loved it. The pirate show was great and saw mystere. Looking at coming back to Vegas next year so loved watching this video 😊
I have stayed at TI twice once on a spring break trip in 8th grade in 2009 & again in December 2022. Both stays were very enjoyable with excellent service & very clean rooms so much so that I am thinking about staying at TI when I visit Vegas in December for the Golden Knights- Kraken game. When it comes to food, the Yacht Club is great for seafood, Senor Frogs for Mexican food & Gilley's for BBQ. I also want to point out that because of the fact that TI is a Radisson hotel, it is possible to earn Choice Hotels Rewards points by staying there since the Radisson brand is now part of Choice Hotels.
We are planning a trip the end of this month in Vegas I found this very helpful I subscribed to get all the skinny before I book I’ve been to Vegas several times but years ago and my husband has never been. Thanks for the information
Great video and I like the pirate theme in the video. We haven’t stayed at TI in many years, but we always pass through. The casino area and restrooms can use a refresh for sure.
I had been visiting Las Vegas for over 20 years and never visited Treasure Island. I finally did, recently, and found it very old Las Vegas, especially with how low the ceiling is in the casino. I was very surprised how nice my room was. Much nicer than I expected it to be. I really wish I had experienced Treasure Island years ago when it was at its best.
I went to see Mystère my last time in Vegas back in April. I was surprised for a show that was 30 years old that it was sold out for the 930 show. And I really like the show. I thought it was a great show. I liked it so much better than KA. Definitely a must do.
Great tour. Stopped in there and played tables few years ago while daughter was shopping at FS Mall. Decent vibe and decent limits on tables. Free parking is a plus.
The casino is a somewhat classic kidney shape. When you make a 90° turn, you think you’re heading to the opposite side of the casino but you just end up getting corralled back into the middle of it
TI is our go-to hotel in vegas. We have stayed at most of the majors on the strip, but i feel most comfortable at TI....we get all the comps for stays, free food, host check-in with free coffee! Love the 36th floor rooms. Pool has DJ and great party atmosphere.
Really great review and spot on assessment. I stayed there back in 2003 and it looked pretty much the same! Of course the rooms have been renovated and new things added. I agree that it's a great budget option. I've also been lucky every time I play there! They have a lot of older games which I like. Thanks!
I’m sure TI has value, but I refuse to stay at Phil Ruffin properties, as he cuts spending on maintenance and staffing, making as much money as he can before selling the land for a sizable profit. Most of the dining outlets are not for me, a lot of partiers and drunks on site. The seafood restaurant looked good and the CVS is very convenient.
I haven't been to T.I. since 1995. Back then I just walked through / checked it out, and got a drink. I remember the drink was great, and blue. It came in a huge glass skull mug that I still have! I also remember that there was a cartoon pirate on-screen above the escalators that was rude and would hurl insults at people... it was hilarious.. haha. And I loved the pirate show outside too. After checking out your video - it looks like it is still in pretty good shape and I may have to go revisit on my next trip. Thanks for the great info and video !
Wife and I's favorite hotel/casino outside of the Linq is the Mirage. We stayed at the treasure Island a few years back and funny story. We we're taking the tram all weekend. We ended up getting hammered and I was so confident that I said we need to take the tram back from TI to the mirage. We sat in that lobby waiting for like 20 minutes when I realized it was like 1am and tram service stopped lol. We had to walk back . Good times.
I stayed there years ago when they had the proper pirate show (not the Siren show) at the front. One of the ships came round from where CVS is now. It was great.
I stayed at Treasure Island back in the day when they had the pirate show outside it was great such a vibe as the kids say. It’s such an 15:03 underrated property but it’s great 🎉
This was perfect timing. This was one of the places I was strongly considering for my stay next week. Idk bout dealing with weird bedroom smells tho 😂😂😂
We stayed there from UK in August and really liked it. Housekeeping was fine plenty of hot water. Two issues sorted. Cocktail waitresses fine. Great vibe with the theme. Good selection of slots. Its not a budget Hotel its 4 star under Radisson. I would stay here again. Few more eating places would be nice though. 😊
Stayed with friends right before you did. My room was perfect. You also should mention the TI store upstairs by parking if you buy the thermos you get coffee refills for 1$!!!
Have loved TI since it opened. I like the atmosphere and the layout, never noticed it's so much smaller than many more modern casinos. I don't mind that, in fact maybe prefer it! The selection of shops/stores/restaurants is really top notch, from a moderate budget standpoint. Normally good drink service at machines and tables in my experience. Can definitely agree that the cleanliness in rooms and on the floor is not what it should be or once was. We had a couple of really long black hairs on the pillow when we checked in, they moved us to an upgraded room virtually instantly. Have never seen such lines in CVS, but also haven't been in a couple years. Great and informative video, thanks!
Great vid, great tour…and the seafood looked yummy. I am definitely not a fan of hair, especially considering that it was supposed to be clean. I am not grossed out, but am bothered. Not sure if you did, but I would have called the front desk. Thank you
I did not call downstairs, I didn't really find them until I was getting ready for bed. By that point I had been checked in for 5 hours and I was beat. Thanks as aways for watching!
I stayed at Treasure Island last in 2008 and absolutely loved it. Social House was my favorite spot for great sushi - it was an upscale restaurant with a fantastic vibe. When City Center opened, Social House moved there. Tangerine Night Club at TI was also a blast, but it closed several years ago. I really miss the old Treasure Island.
My wife and I stayed there years ago. It wasn’t very rememberable. The only thing I really remember was that we had a good strip view. Also on one of our first trips to Vegas we were luckily enough to catch the Sirens so. Kinda cheesy, but it was cool and being that they still have the pirate theme going I wish they still had it.
When I stayed In the middle of August, I was constantly being asked if I would like a drink while I was playing slots. I've stayed there twice, and each time, the room was the cleanest I've had in Vegas. No weird smells, either. My biggest complaint is food options. Gillys is really good and fun, golden circle has good bar food while watching a game, Coffee shop was OK, But everything else is Subpar, mainly Senior Frogs. Senior Frogs food was bland, nothing great, service was below average, but Drinks were good and affordable for Vegas. I like staying there due to location, affordable, clean and generally fun atmosphere, but food options suck in my opinion but Fashion show, Wynn and Venetian are literally across the street, so if you want something fancy you can walk there. I personally walked to Mizzumi for dinner one night.
Thanks for the tour Captain! I’ve also never been to TI and besides for the hairs in the room it looked pretty decent along with the property besides the trash you showed at the end! I would definitely make a trip there in the futire though my wife really wants to do Circa first after yall did that video a few weeks ago! Ive been fantasizing about posting up at that stadium pool for a college football Saturday and just watching games for 10 hours while my skin burns off lol…keep your head up and make the haters walk the plank my dude!! Love the videos as always and look forward to whats next as yall always have more to show us on Show Me Vegas!! Also my birthday is November 16 and we are doing a weekend trip to mandalay Bay flying in Friday nov 15 and out Sunday the 17th if you and the wife happen to be there that weekend we would love to meet yall and grab dinner or watch some football games while we gambel…hopefully we are able to make that happen sometime!
never stayed, but last trip we had show tickets for mystere, ate at Gilly's food was very good and very large portions, service was very good. Mystere was a wonderful show, had a great time. Casino was ok, wasn't terrible to us gambling a bit before the show, was impressed with a lot of the old school slots, didn't play at any tables, not many were open when was there.
The wife and I stayed there July 2024 for the first time and it was a wonderful stay. Its not really center strip but just a 7 minute walk to center strip. Rooms have mini fridges and there are a couple restaurants and a CVS connected to the casino to buy snacks and drinks for your room.
This really explained why there wasn't a lot of pirate theming here. Didn't know it was originally TI AT the Mirage and then also some of the theming was being removed. Each visit, we try to walk through as many hotels as we can (for the atmosphere!), and theme wise, we were disappointed. Now I know why though. I think for something that's not Circus Circus or The Flamingo, this would fit a budget just nicely.
Thanks for a very objective review of a notoriously subjective property. I may do a walkthrough next time I’m in the area based on your review. I’m with you in the ICK group about the hair you noticed in your room. As an event planner in a different hotel every week I have a reviewer alias and ALWAYS post “not-my-hair” housekeeping comments if noticed. Ugh. Ick!
We’ve never stayed there, but I would absolutely consider it when in town for a show at Sphere if Venetian/Palazzo are too pricey. Its proximity to the fashion show mall is a plus too. I wish the pirate show was still around, but I still dig the theme.
Just stayed there 3 nights that were fully comped. It's actually not a bad property. I'd be lying if I said it was one of the best, but it's not bad. I enjoyed playing Blackjack there 3-2 $15 minimums.
I enjoyed my stay at TI very much. By the end of the week I was no longer getting lost! By the way, something tells me that the Hard Rock will be "themed"...
Stayed there several times in the past but the last was my final. The room had two queen beds one with what I suspect was a cigarette burn hole in the mattress. Initially the TV wouldn't work (someone had messed with the cables hooking up thier own crap) and the safe didn't work requiring replacement. My only meal on TI property was at the Golden Circle sitting at the bar. I ordered nachos and iced tea. The nachos were the worst I've ever had anywhere, the tea was dispensed from the bar "gun" and service was terrible.
The original pirate show was on a bigger water pond. 2 ships, 1 would sail from the hotels side. Canons fired, pirates jumping into the water & 1 ship actually "sunk#. Sidewalk had an elevated viewing platform to accommodate viewing crowds without blocking foot . I imagine the new guitar going up will eliminate views in alot of ti rooms...too bad!
Great content as always Jordan! The hair would gross me out actually if it was maybe two or three max lol. Otherwise a very solid and value oriented hotel. One of the few to opt out of stupid resort fees which I appreciate it. Location is solid. Sad that it is one of the last hotels with free parking. That’s a big plus as $24/day for parking at other properties is infuriating. Grew up going in the 90s and fortunately see the pirate show with the fun explosions. Ship would sink lol. Glad to see this hotel still keeping the theme.
Their "optional resort fee" rate isn't much of a savings, it's higher than the prices with a resort fee. Mostly a gimmick. Maybe a slight savings. Thanks for watching!
Walking through the TI back in June the first thing the wife and I noticed was the smell. It just always felt like a ok property especially after losing the pirate show.
I’ve stayed there at a guess 15+ times . Can’t be beaten for location and price. One side is fashion mall and other side is every cool hotel and restaurant . Their poker room has gone which sux, but so have most of the poker rooms 😫 they used to upgrade me to a corner suite every time and no resort fees. What else do you want for peanuts ? Lol
Hey Mr Jordan ! I’ve only been in TI a few times but think it’s a decent property. Much better than Excalibur aka the dirty castle or Flamingo . Definitely waaay better than disgusting Circus 🤡 Circus 🤡. I agree with you on the theming . Wish they still had more of it . Wish I had seen the pirate show in person but alas never made it . Thought the room was good without the hairs of course . I only stay in the high end properties so I wouldn’t stay there…but may try the seafood restaurant on one of my visits . Excellent review sir 😎😎😎
We have friends that LOVE T.I. they say it's always clean,cheap and staff is friendly. But a water closet and glass shower are a MINIMUM for any place we stay.
Saw the siren show in 2004! It was awsome! One of the biggest and most unique attraction on the strip at the time! They should bring it back with a pirates of the carribean theme☠️ I was going to go next year specifically for treasure island 🏝 it was easy to get around because it wasn't to big,there was a good Chinese food place,the rooms were nice with a fair price and you can go anywhere on the strip because it's located in the middle in walking distance to the venetian,Belagio and Ceasar palace.. I thought about going next year in 2025 but now I'm not sure because there's no pirate show at treasure island 🙁
I’ve stayed here several times over the years. Not great not bad just totally average. The rooms are good value for the money especially the suites. Overall for the price a place like planet Hollywood a much better option.
Hello Jordan, I stayed there at TI twice in 1998 & twice in 1999. Center Suite looking down on the TI Pirate show that definitely drew the crowds! Back then TI was a happening' place! They also had a nice buffet and the pool was always packed back then. When Steve Wynn owned it, you wouldn't find hairs in the bed or bathroom! Have I stayed there again. No. Would I stay there again. No. In fact, I have a 7- night stay booked at the Encore at the end of Oct thru Nov 3rd! VIP Tower Suite. I usually stay at the Wynn/ Encore on my visits now because they are still Top Notch in my book and have the Wynn Quality standards in cleanliness and Service! When I stay at the Wynn/ Encore and take a day here and there to venture off the property to Center strip to hit Bellagio (Conservatory & Petrossian Bar), Cosmo, Aria. all of which I have stayed in and do a nostalgia walk thru the Flamingo but I don't bother with all the average south end properties NY, NY, MGM, Excaliber, etc.. Enjoy your Vids! You do nice camera work and commentary with the effort you put in your Vids!👍
I remember many years ago when the pirate battle was between the British and Pirates before they spiced it up with the Female sirens …. Also, there used to be a buffet that was pretty good
Ohhh, I remember it in some RUclips videos. I believe they incorporated it into the Golden Circle Sports Bar & Book. Thats why the sports bar is massive now…
I probably havent stayed here in over 15 years. Its great if its your first time or cheap. I also remember when they used to have Old School by the pool event which i actually miss. Ill never stay here again, after staying at so many nicer hotels i just cant do that to myself.
It's obvious when you're staying there that it was a very nice property in the Steve Wynn days. Unfortunately it will see a long slow decline under Phil Ruffin.
I'm actually surprised this hotel continues to operate without being scooped up by one of the bigger companies. That entry looked like a dump and not welcoming! That CVS line would send my blood pressure through the roof... And with it not tied to MGM or Caesars you'd have to build up a status their for comps and I'm not sure I'd want to stay more than once! More so now that the Mirage is closed!
This hotel was actually dumped by one of the bigger companies. MGM Mirage sold it to Phil Ruffin in 2009. He wanted to buy the Mirage back then too but they weren't interested.
Not that it excuses it but I wonder if the sheets you had were "inner" sheets in the industrial washer and didn't get as much agitation in the washer as other sheets. Hence why they were clean but had hairs almost like a static cling
Do a video on a hotel on the strip that is better then treasure island and planet hollywood but not expensive like encore wynn bellagio or ceasers palace.
In my opinion, there's something so, sooooooooo, SOOOOOOOOOO wrong about the fact that T.I. is inexplicably outliving the Mirage. Like: how in the world could that be allowed to happen? How? HOW? HOOOOOOOOWWW?!!! 🙃🤐 I'm sure when T.I. first opened, it was genuinely an exciting place to be. Ever since Phil Ruffin purchased the resort, however, it has REALLY gone downhill. And mind you it isn't because its target clientele, unlike most of its surrounding neighboring resorts, are budget-minded Vegas tourists who want to be at the eye of the hurricane so to speak action-wise on the Strip without breaking the bank a la Bellagio, Palazzo, Venetian, Wynn and Encore: much like Harrah's. It's absolutely important not to take budget-oriented Vegas tourists for granted and T.I. (along with Harrah's) absolutely fulfills that purpose, with T.I. additionally being (relatively) family-friendly unlike Harrah's. The problem, rather, is that Ruffin just isn't investing in its upkeep and maintenance and, thus, it's really been giving off a semi-dilapidated feel all around. T.I. is essentially being Circus Circused. It's not to say T.I. is as trashy and dilapidated as Circus Circus, but it's being neglected and not properly unkept much like Circus Circus to the point it just isn't an enjoyable property to set foot in anymore. If Ruffin sold this and some other investor pulled a Dreamscape and invested some serious money in a thorough, resort-wide renovation, I'm all for it and that would honestly be awesome to see as I genuinely believe golden-era themed Vegas should be preserved (at least those with lasting retained relevance). Otherwise, I honestly can't say I'd be sad if it gets demolished in favor of something else. Again, it just makes absolutely no sense that the Mirage is now history while T.I. is outliving the resort in its current shape: especially given how highly relevant the former remained up through its closing date, while the latter isn't nearly as relevant now as it was in its heyday. I appreciate your reviews as always! Keep up the great work! 🙂 I'm about to launch my own channel soon, it will be an exciting experience! 😇
Can you do that pirate impression again? LOL. Never stayed at treasure Island. I sure wish I could’ve been in Vegas whenever they did the show out front. Kind of sucks we lost the show at Excalibur and treasure Island and now we’ve lost the show at the Mirage. Kind of feels like Vegas is not Vegas in someways. I have been here to see the Mystere show. And I stopped in to check the place out walk around the lobby after seeing Donny Osmond over at harrahs. All I can say is, I hope that that doesn’t leave. That and the Beatles love show were my favorites. I’ve not seen Mad Apple, but it didn’t sound all that interesting. Thanks for showing us what the rooms look like. Seems like a decent hotel. But my worry is with Phil Ruffman running it. It’s going downhill like Circus Circus. Hope not.
Looks like they gave their dog a bath,the sink was no biggy that could be from the maid,the bed i would just brush them out and spray it down with my handy dandy Lysol!
Have you stayed at TI recently? What are your thoughts?
Really like the free parking!!!
Staying part of Nascar package October. Miss the pirate show
were from the uk, weve stayed at Ti 3 times and its my wifes favourite hotel in vegas. we have stayed at paris, horseshoe, bellagio. it was clean, easy to navigate, the golden circle was a good bar. would recommend
Staying there next summer
stayed there in July, my only issues was the food court sucked, literally the only thing open was popeyes, and the AC was horrible in the rooms, I actually switched rooms and it was pretty bad too, and talking to another person they said their AC was bad also.

It was the best free show on the Strip!

You give the best walking tours of any vegas channel
Appreciate it!
Stayed there last summer, cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed at, even cleaner than the expensive boujee hotels, best customer service I ever had too, mall and CVS is right there
TI, is awesome and glad they have the free parking. I also like the walkway that takes you near the shopping mall. 🍀🤠👍
We stayed there a lot in the 90's. Great VP, and room view was awesome.
We’re from the uk and stayed there 26 years ago when we got married and we loved it. The pirate show was great and saw mystere. Looking at coming back to Vegas next year so loved watching this video 😊
Thanks for watching!

Great video tour....may have to go back and visit TI👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for re-theming Treasure Island with all the pirate references! I especially liked the skull transition slides ☠️
We are planning a trip the end of this month in Vegas I found this very helpful I subscribed to get all the skinny before I book I’ve been to Vegas several times but years ago and my husband has never been. Thanks for the information
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Great video and I like the pirate theme in the video. We haven’t stayed at TI in many years, but we always pass through. The casino area and restrooms can use a refresh for sure.
A balanced review showcasing TI advantages-- good video.
Thanks for watching!

Yep. Designed that way on purpose. Well played, Mr. Wynn.
It is our go to place. Good comps, friendly service and our room is always clean.
I grew up in Vegas and remember the pirate shows. It was really cool. That and wet-n-wild will always be missed.
I love Tl food is delicious Service was great and my Host was wonderful thanks Ron snd TI😂❤
TI is our go-to hotel in vegas. We have stayed at most of the majors on the strip, but i feel most comfortable at TI....we get all the comps for stays, free food, host check-in with free coffee! Love the 36th floor rooms. Pool has DJ and great party atmosphere.
Great job with this video; very informative. I am going to subscribe based on the thoroughness of this review of TI - well done!
@@schillschill welcome aboard! Thanks so much!
Hola buenas tardes muy bonito hotel le falta un poquito orden en limpieza está genial ubicación y precios ami me gustó saludos isa
Really great review and spot on assessment. I stayed there back in 2003 and it looked pretty much the same! Of course the rooms have been renovated and new things added. I agree that it's a great budget option. I've also been lucky every time I play there! They have a lot of older games which I like. Thanks!
Just have to comment on that "The Bank" t-shirt...LOVE IT!
Willy Bank and I go back so far that we both shook Sinatra’s hand, and there’s a code amongst guys who shook Sinatra’s hand!
Thanks for this video. You're very engaging. Also, how self-conscious you are makes me laugh.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
I’m sure TI has value, but I refuse to stay at Phil Ruffin properties, as he cuts spending on maintenance and staffing, making as much money as he can before selling the land for a sizable profit. Most of the dining outlets are not for me, a lot of partiers and drunks on site. The seafood restaurant looked good and the CVS is very convenient.
This video gives a great insight into what it's really like to stay at Treasure Island
Well done again
You should paint all the rooms you stay in with your icon from you tube. And then go viral.
I haven't been to T.I. since 1995. Back then I just walked through / checked it out, and got a drink. I remember the drink was great, and blue. It came in a huge glass skull mug that I still have!

The pirate show was really good in person! It was great at the beginning and faded in quality over the years....
Thank You!! We are staying there in 2 days and your tour will help us!! I thought there was an indoor pool?
No there has never been an indoor pool. No casino resort on the strip has ever had one.
We always stay at Treasure Island. The clam chowder is so good at the Yacht Club!!!
We stayed there from UK in August and really liked it. Housekeeping was fine plenty of hot water. Two issues sorted. Cocktail waitresses fine. Great vibe with the theme. Good selection of slots. Its not a budget Hotel its 4 star under Radisson. I would stay here again. Few more eating places would be nice though. 😊
I love TI but i may be biased cause it was the very 1st Vegas hotel i ever stayed at,so i will always love it!!!
We're the same way with Park MGM/Monte Carlo!
Stayed with friends right before you did. My room was perfect. You also should mention the TI store upstairs by parking if you buy the thermos you get coffee refills for 1$!!!
Have loved TI since it opened. I like the atmosphere and the layout, never noticed it's so much smaller than many more modern casinos. I don't mind that, in fact maybe prefer it!

I did not call downstairs, I didn't really find them until I was getting ready for bed. By that point I had been checked in for 5 hours and I was beat. Thanks as aways for watching!
I stayed at Treasure Island last in 2008 and absolutely loved it. Social House was my favorite spot for great sushi - it was an upscale restaurant with a fantastic vibe. When City Center opened, Social House moved there. Tangerine Night Club at TI was also a blast, but it closed several years ago. I really miss the old Treasure Island.
It has definitely seen better days, but it's still solid for the "budget" category. Thanks for watching!
My wife and I stayed there years ago. It wasn’t very rememberable. The only thing I really remember was that we had a good strip view. Also on one of our first trips to Vegas we were luckily enough to catch the Sirens so. Kinda cheesy, but it was cool and being that they still have the pirate theme going I wish they still had it.
When I stayed In the middle of August, I was constantly being asked if I would like a drink while I was playing slots. I've stayed there twice, and each time, the room was the cleanest I've had in Vegas. No weird smells, either. My biggest complaint is food options. Gillys is really good and fun, golden circle has good bar food while watching a game, Coffee shop was OK, But everything else is Subpar, mainly Senior Frogs. Senior Frogs food was bland, nothing great, service was below average, but Drinks were good and affordable for Vegas. I like staying there due to location, affordable, clean and generally fun atmosphere, but food options suck in my opinion but Fashion show, Wynn and Venetian are literally across the street, so if you want something fancy you can walk there. I personally walked to Mizzumi for dinner one night.
Thanks for the tour Captain! I’ve also never been to TI and besides for the hairs in the room it looked pretty decent along with the property besides the trash you showed at the end! I would definitely make a trip there in the futire though my wife really wants to do Circa first after yall did that video a few weeks ago! Ive been fantasizing about posting up at that stadium pool for a college football Saturday and just watching games for 10 hours while my skin burns off lol…keep your head up and make the haters walk the plank my dude!! Love the videos as always and look forward to whats next as yall always have more to show us on Show Me Vegas!! Also my birthday is November 16 and we are doing a weekend trip to mandalay Bay flying in Friday nov 15 and out Sunday the 17th if you and the wife happen to be there that weekend we would love to meet yall and grab dinner or watch some football games while we gambel…hopefully we are able to make that happen sometime!
never stayed, but last trip we had show tickets for mystere, ate at Gilly's food was very good and very large portions, service was very good. Mystere was a wonderful show, had a great time. Casino was ok, wasn't terrible to us gambling a bit before the show, was impressed with a lot of the old school slots, didn't play at any tables, not many were open when was there.
The wife and I stayed there July 2024 for the first time and it was a wonderful stay. Its not really center strip but just a 7 minute walk to center strip. Rooms have mini fridges and there are a couple restaurants and a CVS connected to the casino to buy snacks and drinks for your room.
This really explained why there wasn't a lot of pirate theming here. Didn't know it was originally TI AT the Mirage and then also some of the theming was being removed.
Each visit, we try to walk through as many hotels as we can (for the atmosphere!), and theme wise, we were disappointed. Now I know why though. I think for something that's not Circus Circus or The Flamingo, this would fit a budget just nicely.
Thanks for a very objective review of a notoriously subjective property. I may do a walkthrough next time I’m in the area based on your review. I’m with you in the ICK group about the hair you noticed in your room. As an event planner in a different hotel every week I have a reviewer alias and ALWAYS post “not-my-hair” housekeeping comments if noticed. Ugh. Ick!
We’ve never stayed there, but I would absolutely consider it when in town for a show at Sphere if Venetian/Palazzo are too pricey. Its proximity to the fashion show mall is a plus too. I wish the pirate show was still around, but I still dig the theme.
Just stayed there 3 nights that were fully comped. It's actually not a bad property. I'd be lying if I said it was one of the best, but it's not bad. I enjoyed playing Blackjack there 3-2 $15 minimums.
I enjoyed my stay at TI very much. By the end of the week I was no longer getting lost! By the way, something tells me that the Hard Rock will be "themed"...
Aarrrggghhh... avast! 🤣 Well done getting into the pirate spirit! 🏴☠️ 🤣
Stayed there several times in the past but the last was my final. The room had two queen beds one with what I suspect was a cigarette burn hole in the mattress. Initially the TV wouldn't work (someone had messed with the cables hooking up thier own crap) and the safe didn't work requiring replacement. My only meal on TI property was at the Golden Circle sitting at the bar. I ordered nachos and iced tea. The nachos were the worst I've ever had anywhere, the tea was dispensed from the bar "gun" and service was terrible.
If I ever see that Cirque show, I will probably stay there. Otherwise, I will pass. I didn't know anything about TI either. Thanks 😊
PS I think you do a nice job.
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Not only is Gilley's named for him, but in the 70s and early 80s it was a world famous honky tonk Urban Cowboy era club in Pasadena, Texas.
I’ve been to LV 50 plus times since 1978, never stayed at TI, and I will pass. Thanks for the informative video. Appreciate it.
The original pirate show was on a bigger water pond. 2 ships, 1 would sail from the hotels side. Canons fired, pirates jumping into the water & 1 ship actually "sunk#. Sidewalk had an elevated viewing platform to accommodate viewing crowds without blocking foot . I imagine the new guitar going up will eliminate views in alot of ti rooms...too bad!
Great content as always Jordan! The hair would gross me out actually if it was maybe two or three max lol. Otherwise a very solid and value oriented hotel. One of the few to opt out of stupid resort fees which I appreciate it. Location is solid. Sad that it is one of the last hotels with free parking. That’s a big plus as $24/day for parking at other properties is infuriating. Grew up going in the 90s and fortunately see the pirate show with the fun explosions. Ship would sink lol. Glad to see this hotel still keeping the theme.
Their "optional resort fee" rate isn't much of a savings, it's higher than the prices with a resort fee. Mostly a gimmick. Maybe a slight savings. Thanks for watching!
Walking through the TI back in June the first thing the wife and I noticed was the smell. It just always felt like a ok property especially after losing the pirate show.
Yep. It definitely has a funky smell. Ok is a good way to describe it.
There was a secret entrance the actors ( pirates) used and I got lucky one of them let me watch from one of those exits. He was just a nice guy.😊😊😊😊😊
I’ve stayed there at a guess 15+ times . Can’t be beaten for location and price. One side is fashion mall and other side is every cool hotel and restaurant . Their poker room has gone which sux, but so have most of the poker rooms 😫 they used to upgrade me to a corner suite every time and no resort fees. What else do you want for peanuts ? Lol
Love to gamble there. Some of the lower minimums around and actually the drink service I’ve found to be good.
Drink service was abysmal for me, but maybe I was just unlucky. Played for 90 minutes, didn't get offered a single drink...
Hey Mr Jordan ! I’ve only been in TI a few times but think it’s a decent property. Much better than Excalibur aka the dirty castle or Flamingo . Definitely waaay better than disgusting Circus 🤡 Circus 🤡. I agree with you on the theming . Wish they still had more of it . Wish I had seen the pirate show in person but alas never made it . Thought the room was good without the hairs of course . I only stay in the high end properties so I wouldn’t stay there…but may try the seafood restaurant on one of my visits . Excellent review sir 😎😎😎
We have friends that LOVE T.I. they say it's always clean,cheap and staff is friendly. But a water closet and glass shower are a MINIMUM for any place we stay.
Saw the siren show in 2004! It was awsome! One of the biggest and most unique attraction on the strip at the time! They should bring it back with a pirates of the carribean theme☠️ I was going to go next year specifically for treasure island 🏝 it was easy to get around because it wasn't to big,there was a good Chinese food place,the rooms were nice with a fair price and you can go anywhere on the strip because it's located in the middle in walking distance to the venetian,Belagio and Ceasar palace.. I thought about going next year in 2025 but now I'm not sure because there's no pirate show at treasure island 🙁
Couple of those were short hairs...Definitely a deal breaker.
🤣🤣🤣 a couple of them were certainly suspect!
@@ShowMeVegas You should start doing blacklight tests of the rooms.
I’ve stayed here several times over the years. Not great not bad just totally average. The rooms are good value for the money especially the suites. Overall for the price a place like planet Hollywood a much better option.
Hello Jordan, I stayed there at TI twice in 1998 & twice in 1999. Center Suite looking down on the TI Pirate show that definitely drew the crowds! Back then TI was a happening' place! They also had a nice buffet and the pool was always packed back then. When Steve Wynn owned it, you wouldn't find hairs in the bed or bathroom! Have I stayed there again. No. Would I stay there again. No.
In fact, I have a 7- night stay booked at the Encore at the end of Oct thru Nov 3rd! VIP Tower Suite. I usually stay at the Wynn/ Encore on my visits now because they are still Top Notch in my book and have the Wynn Quality standards in cleanliness and Service! When I stay at the Wynn/ Encore and take a day here and there to venture off the property to Center strip to hit Bellagio (Conservatory & Petrossian Bar), Cosmo, Aria. all of which I have stayed in and do a nostalgia walk thru the Flamingo but I don't bother with all the average south end properties NY, NY, MGM, Excaliber, etc.. Enjoy your Vids! You do nice camera work and commentary with the effort you put in your Vids!👍
It's obvious that in 1993 it was a very nice property. Unfortunately Phil Ruffin owns it now so it will see an upgrade in about 20 years...
I remember many years ago when the pirate battle was between the British and Pirates before they spiced it up with the Female sirens …. Also, there used to be a buffet that was pretty good
Any idea where the buffet was?
@@ShowMeVegas when you walk past the steakhouse it was straight back to the wall probably about where you ate at the seafood place
Ohhh, I remember it in some RUclips videos. I believe they incorporated it into the Golden Circle Sports Bar & Book. Thats why the sports bar is massive now…
@@ShowMeVegas could be it was a little to the right of the hallway that goes to the Mystere theater
I probably havent stayed here in over 15 years. Its great if its your first time or cheap. I also remember when they used to have Old School by the pool event which i actually miss.
Ill never stay here again, after staying at so many nicer hotels i just cant do that to myself.
Yep. Once you've experienced the best, it's hard to stay at a budget property. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get The Bank shirt? That’s awesome makes me think of oceans 13.
I think that one is from M00nshot.com. Thanks for watching!
@@ShowMeVegas awesome I found it. Thanks!
GAARR! Haven't ever stayed at TI but visit there every march madness and somehow leave several hundred dollars richer. No clue how but we're 5/5
In the day of Steve Wynn we loved to stay at TI!
It's obvious when you're staying there that it was a very nice property in the Steve Wynn days. Unfortunately it will see a long slow decline under Phil Ruffin.
I'm actually surprised this hotel continues to operate without being scooped up by one of the bigger companies. That entry looked like a dump and not welcoming! That CVS line would send my blood pressure through the roof... And with it not tied to MGM or Caesars you'd have to build up a status their for comps and I'm not sure I'd want to stay more than once! More so now that the Mirage is closed!
This hotel was actually dumped by one of the bigger companies. MGM Mirage sold it to Phil Ruffin in 2009. He wanted to buy the Mirage back then too but they weren't interested.
Knowing that there is a CVS in the hotel gives me more motivation to stay there.
It's a nice perk, just be ready for long lines!
Have you ever heard of Blackbeard the pirate? Pirates are hairy, what do you expect.
🤣
Not that it excuses it but I wonder if the sheets you had were "inner" sheets in the industrial washer and didn't get as much agitation in the washer as other sheets. Hence why they were clean but had hairs almost like a static cling
Where'd you score that shirt?
The Bank? M00nshot.com
Maybe you should shimmy over to the mall and buy some better hats 😂😂
@@thelastdance44 maybe you should shimmy off your Chromebook and get a life…
Do a video on a hotel on the strip that is better then treasure island and planet hollywood but not expensive like encore wynn bellagio or ceasers palace.
We have videos on almost every hotel on the strip!
Love the reviews, love the channel. Thanks!
Too many Marijuana smokers in the rooms. Hallways “reek” of Marijuana every time I’m there, especially weekend stays.
In my opinion, there's something so, sooooooooo, SOOOOOOOOOO wrong about the fact that T.I. is inexplicably outliving the Mirage. Like: how in the world could that be allowed to happen? How? HOW? HOOOOOOOOWWW?!!! 🙃🤐
I'm sure when T.I. first opened, it was genuinely an exciting place to be. Ever since Phil Ruffin purchased the resort, however, it has REALLY gone downhill. And mind you it isn't because its target clientele, unlike most of its surrounding neighboring resorts, are budget-minded Vegas tourists who want to be at the eye of the hurricane so to speak action-wise on the Strip without breaking the bank a la Bellagio, Palazzo, Venetian, Wynn and Encore: much like Harrah's. It's absolutely important not to take budget-oriented Vegas tourists for granted and T.I. (along with Harrah's) absolutely fulfills that purpose, with T.I. additionally being (relatively) family-friendly unlike Harrah's.
The problem, rather, is that Ruffin just isn't investing in its upkeep and maintenance and, thus, it's really been giving off a semi-dilapidated feel all around. T.I. is essentially being Circus Circused. It's not to say T.I. is as trashy and dilapidated as Circus Circus, but it's being neglected and not properly unkept much like Circus Circus to the point it just isn't an enjoyable property to set foot in anymore.
If Ruffin sold this and some other investor pulled a Dreamscape and invested some serious money in a thorough, resort-wide renovation, I'm all for it and that would honestly be awesome to see as I genuinely believe golden-era themed Vegas should be preserved (at least those with lasting retained relevance). Otherwise, I honestly can't say I'd be sad if it gets demolished in favor of something else. Again, it just makes absolutely no sense that the Mirage is now history while T.I. is outliving the resort in its current shape: especially given how highly relevant the former remained up through its closing date, while the latter isn't nearly as relevant now as it was in its heyday.
I appreciate your reviews as always! Keep up the great work! 🙂 I'm about to launch my own channel soon, it will be an exciting experience! 😇
Can you do that pirate impression again? LOL.
Never stayed at treasure Island. I sure wish I could’ve been in Vegas whenever they did the show out front. Kind of sucks we lost the show at Excalibur and treasure Island and now we’ve lost the show at the Mirage. Kind of feels like Vegas is not Vegas in someways.
I have been here to see the Mystere show. And I stopped in to check the place out walk around the lobby after seeing Donny Osmond over at harrahs.
All I can say is, I hope that that doesn’t leave. That and the Beatles love show were my favorites. I’ve not seen Mad Apple, but it didn’t sound all that interesting.
Thanks for showing us what the rooms look like. Seems like a decent hotel. But my worry is with Phil Ruffman running it. It’s going downhill like Circus Circus. Hope not.
Mad Apple is an excellent show, we loved it. But yes, hopefully Mystere stays for a very long time...
Such a great place....30 YEARS ago
Pro you did not mention: FREE PARKING.
It's racist to mention that.
Thirty Eight Dollars for a plate of shrimp and sausage pasta , that’s a reasonable price ? O yes and the bread stick 😂😂😂
Somebody doesn’t understand context. Or they’ve never been on the Las Vegas strip. Either/or.
Hairs Gross a deal breaker for me.
On a 1 - 5 scale i think a 2 or 3.
I work here
oh gross, the hair on the bed + weird smells was a game killer. side comment: Las Vegas, why are you doing away with themes!? People love them.
Looks like they gave their dog a bath,the sink was no biggy that could be from the maid,the bed i would just brush them out and spray it down with my handy dandy Lysol!
Do you guys live in Vegas? Idk why I thought you both were from Missouri 😂
We are from Missouri and still live there! Vegas is just a hobby…
