Treasure Island, or “TI” if you want to sound like an insider, opened its doors in 1993. Steve Wynn’s dream was a place where families could get lost in an adventure, full of pirate ships and mystery. Picture it: the facade here was more than just decoration-ships floated in a lagoon and swashbucklers dueled on deck. In fact, to celebrate the opening of The Mirage’s new neighbor, one of these ships even helped virtually “blow up” the old Dunes resort with its cannon during a grand ceremony!
Now, the pirates may have set sail, but the ships still remain-silent, a little haunting, and a gentle reminder of the strip’s wilder side. You can almost hear the echo of playful sword fights and the gasp of surprise from the crowd. Inside, the casino is famous for its 2,800+ rooms, nearly 48,000 square feet of gaming, and, if you’re feeling bold, you can even try your luck where history was made.
These days, the pirate theme is a little more… grown-up. There’s Señor Frog’s for a wild party and Gilley’s Saloon if you’d rather test your skills on a mechanical bull. But no matter what, Treasure Island will always be where Las Vegas lets you live out your pirate persona-it’s just up to you whether you wear an eye patch in the casino.
