About the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino:
Located next to the Mirage at 3300 South Las Vegas Boulevard, on the Strip, in Las Vegas, Treasure Island has a Caribbean pirate theme. It opened on October 26, 1993 with approximately 2,900 rooms and a free pirate show in the front of the resort.  The original focus was on family fun - during a time that much of Las Vegas was trying to capture some of the family market. In 2003, Treasure Island started revamping the property to a more sophisticated look.  The name was abbreviated to the "TI". The resort was sold to Phil Ruffin in 2009, former owner of the New Frontier Hotel and Casino and part owner of Trump Tower.  In 2013, the Sirens of TI pirate battle show closed and a multi-level shopping and entertainment center was added.  In 2019, the hotel joined the Radisson Hotel Group. Cirque du Soleil's Mystere opened in 1993 at the resort and has been at the property throughout the years, voted best production show in the city for nine years.
