| - I was debating hard on what to rank TI...Gonna call this a 2.49...I went with this low rating for a few reasons I will name later but also came up with it because I have never ever once won a nickel at the tables or on the machines at this casino! So I may be a tad prejudiced with this review!!
Well here goes my thoughts on this place. This place is so hit or miss!!! The line to check in ...SUCKS ..almost always takes forever unless you are on a com'd deal , then its fantastic because the players club line is almost always empty!! The pool area, just is not all that great . C+ in my book. I have always had inconsistent service here even though the waitresses outfits do help the frustration of having to wait for a cocktail. The daybeds to lay on run about $35 during the week, not bad.
The rooms here are nice. The beds have always been nice. My rooms have had a frig in them , which is virtually a no-no anymore in Vegas! Well a frig where you can actually store things anyway.
The casino floor stinks. I hate the layout completely. The dealers here are like robots. Just boring! I cant tell you how many times I have seen almost no one even at the tables. The siren show that starts at night is fine. Begins about every 90 minutes. The girls are beautiful and its fun to see ..ONCE(well maybe twice)...then its complete boredom. Their long running show Mystere is very good, but its time to bring in something new. I mean how many times can you see these circus shows, especially the same one? You can get really good room/show deals though if you have never seen Mystere, look on the website for TI and stay during the week!
The restaurants at TI are pricey and very inconsistent. Senor Frogs is not good at all while Kahunaville(coupons galore) is not bad and the party bar next door is a blast and the only night spot in this place that seems to get carried away!! Shots are flying there!! Gilleys has always been boring when we have been and the food beyond overpriced for what you get. The Breeze Bar near the entrance is hit or miss as well, but sometimes late gets really going. The coffee shop is good for breakfast but of course way overpriced. $15 for eggs bacon and coffee. Phils Steakhouse is very average for the money. Its expensive and one would think you would leave with your mouth begging for more. Not the case here. Portobella starter good, French onion soup not bad, Filet ok, crab good, lobster not cooked right, Halibut just very average...It was not bad overall but for $105 each....umm...it should be a hell of alot better!
This casino runs quite a few specials. LOOK for them online or make sure you are signed up for their players club! They run specials for locals often too. I would never pay up to stay at TI, but I guess if I get it for free up to $70. I would consider it for the price and location. Dont forget they whack you for a very expensive resort fee. Anyway dont let one of the Sirens of TI throw you off the plank here ...or come to think of it maybe getting captured by them isnt such a bad idea and would make your rating rise to a much higher level!! ARgh!!
