| - Treasure island is a more than passable hotel casino and a pretty good value to boot.
I arrived here for a conference and moved the line quickly at check-in. The gal wasn't overly curt but she wasn't very friendly. The hotel is trapped between its 90's "bring the kids" past (the way I remember it as a kid) and the need to modernize and shed its tackiness-something I don't envy them trying to do. In the end, it doesn't work, its still tacky with a pseudo modern veneer that doesn't mix, so I don't recommend spending a ton of time in the casino if you are staying here.
Pros: the room was spacious, clean, and mostly exceeded my expectations. The bed was nice, and the restroom was spacious and had great bath and countertops.
Cons: views are hit or miss, the walls are thin so you will hear noise, the casino is very smokey and not that hip, no in-room coffee machines, the tv is small, and the hotel rooms don't have power outlets that you can find without a treasure map of your own, which despite the name of the hotel, they do not provide.
