| - Let me start by saying that, I'm being very generous with a 4 star rating here but honestly I have never had a bad stay here (2 visits). Nowadays I'll book here when I have to go on a quick trip or if I'm on a tight budget.
BASIC is the one word to describe TI. It was one of the mainstays in the 1990s and early 2000s, but as soon as the big boys started coming in, it sort of just fell back in the shadows.
However, if you're not looking to spend for some of the higher tier hotels but want to stay above some of the lower end joints (Flamingo, Harrahs, etc), TI is one of your better picks. Rooms are clean and simple. The pool is comfortable but far from luxurious. Casino leans towards mid-lower limits, so if you want a clean yet affordable place to gamble. the TI would suite your needs.
Also be sure to tip the representative at check-in. Super easy to get a strip view upgrade from the basic room and TONs of coupons (BOGO buffets, comp drink, etc)!
My biggest complaint would be the lack of a nightclub. I like to pick a hotel where I can just drink beyond my limits on one of the nights of my visit and be able to walk right upstairs to my room and knockout. They had the Christian Audigier Nightclub a couple years back, but it closed down.
This review didn't really sell TI as your Vegas destination haha. But if you just want a clean room to crash at, it's a great value. And the location is top notch. You're right next door to xS, Tryst, Surrender, Tao, and 1OAK Nightclubs, so you'll save a ton on cab fees.
Overall, a SOLID and great VALUE spot.
