| - Didn't stay here but visited for dinner & the 'entertainment' - if you can call it that. Got swindled by Tix4Tonight into getting buffet tickets 'at a HUGE discount' (according to them) which turned out to be....$3 off. Er. Ok, whatever - it's a buffet, they're all the same right?
Wrong.
The Buffet (as it's known in the casino/hotel) was small, not very clean and filled with loud people seated too close together. We saw our server exactly twice. The food was meh - uninspired, overcooked and cooling rapidly beneath awkwardly spaced bars. The dessert bar was the only highpoint - it was decently filled with a wide selection of mini & regularly sized sweet things - bread pudding, pies, cakes, donuts, cookies, ice cream & cotton candy.
The main free 'entertainment' - and I use the term loosely - at Treasure Island is the revamped pirate ship show outside on the Strip called "Sirens of TI". The plot was non-existent, the music & badly lipsync-ed lyrics were a joke, the choreography executed with lackluster synchronization by the barely dressed-by-Frederick's-of-Hollywood female cast. The last was possibly the only good thing (for the men) in the audience. Surely not for the many children attending the show with their irresponsible parents.
Gilly's bar, inside the casino near the Siren Cove, has a bull to ride but don't try to watch through the windows...security will quickly come by and board up the windows from the inside. Way to go, guys - that's a GREAT way to draw people inside.
