| - Yelp 100 Challenge * 77/100
T.I. fans, please don't hate me for this.
In all honesty, Treasure Island would rank at the lower end of my hotels and resorts preference on The Strip. Why?
First and foremost, unlike the rest of the casinos that give off a pleasing aroma with but a faint whiff of cigarette smoke (Bellagio, Caesar's palace to name a few - Quad is an exception), you are greeted with blast of strong, uninvited smell of a science experiment gone wrong the moment you open those T.I. entrance doors. I remember my mom unable to handle the smell of the casino that she requested I take her out for some fresh air. Vicks Vaporub to the rescue!
It was almost as if T.I. management intentionally chose the heavy scent to cover up the cigarette smell (which I felt was sticking to the carpets!) only to have them both mix up in all the wrong ways. Arrr! Alright, let's look on the bright side. Maybe it's part of the pirate theme?
Also, parents out there, take heed. The FREE pirate show that plays nightly is NOT for kids. I've seen parents carrying their young toddlers over their shoulders with a hesitant smile one too many times. Expect canon ball blasts, fire shooting out of the walls and suggestive dance movements. Once was really more than enough for me, but I wouldn't stop myself from taking peeps here for a visit.
Only giving this a 3 because the show is free, or else, I would've stuck with 2.
