I am back here to share some updates. It seems that I was busy with some things since the past days. I am currently out of the country. I am planning to go for a trip today to Avila, Spain but decided not to go. There are some assignments that need to be done before the fun will start here in Madrid.

Anyway, I m sharing this image of Treasure Island Hotel and casino in Las Vegas Strip, Nevada, USA. It is commonly knonw as TI for short. It has 2,664 rooms and 220 suites, quite a big hotel. It is connected by tram to The Mirage as well as pedestrian bridge to the Fashion Show Mall shopping center.

The Treasure Island in Las Vegas taken last 2008 during my 2 months vacation there.

The hotel has received the AAA Four Diamond rating each year since 1999.

Treasure Island Hotel, commonly know as TI is a luxury hotel in Paradise, Las Vegas, Nevada. I had the chance to go inside of this hotel. One of the things that caught my attention was the ghost bike inside the hotel premises. I guess this is located inside the casino lobby. I was thinking how this looks like when some hitch bike racks are installed on it. I forgot to take a picture of the face of this ghost bike. I saw one in flicker but don't want to stole it.

This was taken during my vacation in Las Vegas last 2008. I am still hoping to visit this city again in the future.

One of the famous free shows in Las Vegas is The Sirens of TI. It is a free nightly show provided by the Treasure Island Hotel in Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The show focuses around a group of sensual and tempting Sirens engaging with a band of renegade pirates. The Sirens of TI show replaced the previous "Battle of Buccaneer Bay' show that was geared towards a younger audience.

Below is an image taken in front of TI hotel where this show usually takes place.

Let's visit again another luxury hotel in Las Vegas. I found first Treasure Island Hotel in my files and decided to share it here. Some things you need to know about this hotel can be found below. I hope I can find some pictures in my files with the inside view of this hotel. Maybe in my next post. I believed it is a great experience if I can stay in this hotel for some nights in my next vacation in Las Vegas! Just kidding folks!

Treasure Island (also known as "ti") is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, USA with 2,664 rooms and 220 suites, and is connected by tram to adjacent The Mirage as well as pedestrian bridge to the Fashion Show Mall shopping center. Since March 2009, the ti is owned and operated by real estate investor Phil Ruffin.

The hotel has received the AAA Four Diamond rating each year since 1998.

HISTORY
Treasure Island was opened by Mirage Resorts in 1993 under the direction of Steve Wynn at a cost of $450 million. It was designed by architect Joel Bergman. The initial plans called for a tower addition to The Mirage, but later evolved into a full-fledged separate hotel casino resort. Treasure Island originally intended to attract families with whimsical pirate features and icons such as the skull-and-crossbones strip marquee, a large video arcade, and staged pirate battles nightly in "Buccaneer Bay" in front of the casino entrance on the Strip.

In 2003, the hotel largely abandoned its pirate theme for a more contemporary resort in efforts to focus more on adults. The original arcade and kid-friendly pool areas were replaced with an adult-friendly hot tub, contemporary nightclub and party bar. The famous skull-and-crossbones sign at the Strip entrance was replaced by one reading simply "ti" that is also a large LCD video screen.

On July 4, 2008, Christian Audigier The Nightclub replaced the Tangerine Nightclub.

On December 15, 2008, MGM Mirage announced the resort would be sold for US$775 million to Phil Ruffin, former owner of the New Frontier Hotel and Casino. Ruffin took full ownership of the hotel and casino resort on Friday, March 20, 2009. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Island_Hotel_and_Casino
