| - This was my first trip to Vegas so I definitely wanted to stay on The Strip for my birthday trip. After tons of research I decided on Treasure Island - the cost, it's location on The Strip, the amenities offered, and food & entertainment options were perfect for our group so I felt that I had made the right choice!
LOCATION - Treasure Island is on the Northern part of The Strip, right in the middle. It's directly across from The Venetian, The Palazzo, next to The Mirage and a little walk to the Wynn and Encore. There is also a Walgreen's across the street and a Starbucks next to the hotel. Fashion Show Mall is also across the street.
ROOMS - The boy and I stayed in a Deluxe Room. Upon checking-in, we were upgraded to a Strip View room and had an amazing view of not only The Strip but also the pool! The room was clean and spacious, as was the bathroom, however I wish the toilet was separate from the shower for obvious reasons ;P Beds are beyond comfortable - so hard to wake up in the mornings and from naps! iHomes, flat screen tv's, blow dryers and refrigerators in the room.
POOL - It's FREE! Just gotta show your room card. The pool is pretty small but did the job, especially if you don't want to pay for pool parties. There is a bar outside and also a DJ playing music till close. There's tons of chairs but if you don't get down to the pool in time, you are stuck with the ones in the shade. Cabana's are also nice, but obviously cost money.
DINING/ENTERTAINMENT - Many different options inside the hotel/casino ranging from moderately priced to expensive. I recommend Kahunaville, ISLA's, Phil's Italian Steak House, and The Coffee Shop. Skip the buffet unless you have the voucher, which is only good Monday-Friday. As far as entertainment, they have the original Cirque du Soleil show, Mystere, but unfortunately I didn't get to check it out. They also have the Sirens of TI show outside, but it seemed pretty cheesy.
CASINO - I'm not big on gambling, but I did spend some time in the casino since my boyfriend likes to. The ventilation wasn't too bad in there but could be better. It was a little hard to navigate around there, but after awhile it was easy to get around. Tons of blackjack tables, slots, and virtual games.
SERVICE - Check-in was fast! I was so scared we'd be waiting in a Disneyland-esque line, but we were checked in under 10 minutes. The staff was really helpful and nice. Our rooms were cleaned everyday and overall had no issues!
We really enjoyed our stay at Treasure Island and will definitely keep them in mind for my next Vegas trip!
