To opt out of resort fees, you have to be a rewards member, and is only available on select dates. You then lose any resort fee amenities. More information is available on their website.
So no pool or internet?
What limo service do you guys usually use for airport pickup and drop off
@@ShannaTheSag Bell limousine or Kaptyn for a town car (they have EVs)
@@willyisthere EVs are you kidding it’s freaking sin city are you a vegan also???
@@FernandoGon814 the rental of an EV town car is cheaper with that service. You do with your money what you please but I'll save on transportation cost and put it towards actually having fun.
Shout out Treasure Island! Just wish they'd bring back the Pirate Show to make the trip to Vegas even more special.
We saw the Siren Show back in the day, and you are not missing anything.
It was pretty lame. Maybe the original show was better?
@@seascape35 the original was great. Full on sea battle. Ships moved and even sank. It was a must see on the strip for years.
I was lucky enough to watch it back then. So fun!
It’s all just a rip off now.
TI is a pretty good place. The rooms and pool are decent. I would love to see the pirate battle return. When they dropped that it stripped away some of the character.
It cost a few million to run the free attraction but it was a lot of fun to watch especially if you were dining upstairs in the restaurant with a window seat and could watch the entire show.
I like Pools , but I just cringe to think swimming around in an overcrowded pool with people just urinating in there cause who is going to be able to tell . No matter how much Chlorine they put in , still wouldn't want to go in the Pool with all the people in an out all day . I have heard of Stories where they had to close down the pool Temporarily , cause there was a Turd floating around ! Yikes !!!
Hey beautiful!!! Room looked very nice and modern!!! Loved that you got on the mechanical bull...you are a savage! 😜
Watching the Mirage volcano erupt and then the pirates fight at TI will always be a fond memory.
I recently made reservations for 5 nights at TI in June after receiving an offer from them for $60 a night, Sunday to Friday morning. Total cost including taxes is $320.00. No room service, no pool, and no wifi. But that is fine by me. I don't need any of that for 5 nights, and TI is a great location on the Strip.
I'm heading there in a month and was curious of your comment. You didn't receive room service, pool, or wifi amenities because of the special offer they gave you? If so was there an option to take part in said amenities for a fee?
@@nickmichaelstv2174 I don't know for sure as I had no need for them. But I imagine that you could probably pay for them if required, but the cost may have been more than simply paying the Resort fee. My room was very nice with a view looking back to the newly opened Resort's World. Double deck BJ was also very good to me. Enjoy.
Thank you @Koala63211
At the beginning of the video you mentioned resort fees but then didn't bring up in the recap???
You have to tell the front desk at check in that you want the resort fees waived because there's this loophole that the hotel can't add it to your hotel bill like city and hotel occupancy taxes. Resort fees aren't taxes and the fee includes usage for the gym, internet etc. which will be added at check out if you don't mention the resort fee waiver during check in. Since you didn't ask for a waiver of resort fees the hotel assumes you wanted these additional services. Resort fees can add up to $40 a day to your overall stay. Since I always stay 5 days that's an extra $200.
Hi Ruby! It has been Several years since I stayed there last. So glad TI is upgrading the rooms. Much needed. When the CVS was built, it literally cut off the tracks under the water for the boat show. Look during the day time and you will see the clean cut off of the tracks; so there will Never be another Pirates Boat show! A good short cut to the Mirage is the Tram/Train you get to after walking by the food area and up the escalator. Thank you for the video! CAB😊
Another good tip is the tram that runs between TI & Mirage. It's very convenient if you need different food options or want a change in casino. TI was the first property I stayed at. We booked a Run of House room and were magically upgraded to a room on the 34th floor. Don't forget the complimentary champagne bottle for birthdays/celebrations!
It’s the best location. Next to fashion show, Venetian, & Wynn.
That CVS area used to be part of Pirate lake area.
Water area was reduced to build a CVS 🙄
Exactly and the Siren show being reduced to a CVS and Mexican resturant is pathetic. Maybe because I've actually lived in Vegas and been a tourist both.....this is NOT a good hotel
@@techiegirl2927 Amen! Shady business practices at that hotel. Why I will never stay there.
Did I miss the part of how to opt out of the resort fees?
Would you stay at Treasure Island?
No!
If I could, yes 👍🙂
Used to be a great Casino Hotel when Steve Wynn was in control of it , Pirates running around Hotel 🏨, Black Spot Grill , great Buffet , Duelling Galleons , great Coffee shop , massive Pool with tropical Water slide 🛝, and I could go on , the it was sold , pool reduced too size of hot tub, food is dreadful , Casino like black hole of Calcutta, no Buffet , sad sad sad 😞
Yup. Cool casino.
Miss Ruby, could you pls do a review on Capsule Hotel or something like that. I'm coming to Vegas for the first time in 20 years. When I'm in Vegas I hardly stay in my hotel room, other than sleep for eight hours. So renting a bed for eight hours makes sense. Many thanks.
Never really associated TI as a party place but definitely a mid-range family destination based upon my experience there.
Love the vid. Quick Review on Señor Frogs at night open bar is not worth it! Only Bud Light and watered down well drinks are part of the "open bar". It's not a true open bar. Drinks are horrible.
That Popeyes was not cheap. I liked the hotel tho. It was in the middle of the strip.
Hello Ruby. We stayed there many years ago and it was great. You did mention you could opt out of resort fees and said you would mention more about it at the end. It was forgotten
Hey I think you forgot to mention about the resort fees and not paying them?
It was a sad day for me when they made the switch from “treasure island” to “TI” and got rid of that awesome hotel sign with the giant pirate skull. This is a great video of the hotel tho. I’m glad it’s still a nice place to stay.
Just saw a show there on Friday night. Great location but wouldn’t be my choice of places to stay. Hell the Mirage is next door and roughly the same price. Haven’t actually stayed at either but the Mirage feels nicer just walking around and I imagine has the better pool.
We stayed at Caesars , much nicer rooms I think.
Stayed there many times. Love the room fridge and 24x7 CVS off the casino so don't even need to exit the building to get snacks/groceries. The Coffee Shop you ate at used to be a 24x7 restaurant, sad so much of Vegas is no longer 24x7.
Service industry everywhere hurting for staff. I knew paying people not to
work would be a bad idea during/after VID
Travel Ruby on the bull at Gilley's...yas let's do the daymmm thang!! Love it Chica!! If you can stand country music, Gilley's happy hour used to have a BOGO deal on draft beer!! 🍺🍺🍺😉
Clink 🍻❤
I stayed here in 2018 or 2019, back when they still had a buffet. Didn’t have a renovated room but it was very similar to a basic room at Mirage. The bed was super comfy, they gave us a free bottle of champagne for our first time there, but we did pay $40 for early checkin. Definitely a party hotel you can hear people in other rooms screaming.
Oh. That was my concern about the noise.
@@6100GG i didnt hear anything when i visited 1 month ago
If I can’t sit near, in the pool with a cold drink on a hot day I’m not staying there!
What’s the over/under on how many times this chick uses the words really or very?
NOPE! Not my jam AT ALL. Pretty dismal vibe IMO
You didn’t tell us how we could avoid the Resort Fees.
I wondered about that too!
No resort fees. It's automatic when you purchase the room
Check the pinned comment :)
@La lija Priceline charged me $145 for 3 days as just resorts fees. Is it normal or higher?
If I remember correctly, i think it’s the incidental fee that you can opt out of when they ask you at the front desk.
Thank you for booking this room. I often wonder what the term “Run of the house” mint. Now I know 😀This was a very good room & casino review. My husband & I enjoyed the pirate show, but the sirens show in our opinion was AWFUL so happy they canceled that particular show.
I love TI i won my very 1st jackpot there 12,906bucks...
Expedition Theme Park did a great video about the rise and fall of TI's pirate show. I recommend giving it a look...shame they took it away to make the place appear less family-friendly. The stripper show that replaced it was stupidly cringe.
Hey Jared becerri 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
paid over 200 at phils steak house. So downhill. No alchohol. They use to have a nice steak sauce and good warm bread. All gone soooo bad.
the yelp reviews and other reviewers have said this place absolutely sucks, a total rip off, not worth the price.
That place was great back in the Pirate themed days. It's kind of a mess now. They lost me when they took down the original sign. They wanted to detheme the place but left a pirate ship and put in a senor frogs with a giant frog with an eye patch. Seems they are confused with what to do with the place. Steve Wynn had a great plan for that place when it was built but that's all gone now. Gilley's is an ok time I used to go to the one in the Frontier back in the old days.
Former employee here. wouldn’t recommend.. bad time
@@tonyxslam most of the restaurants at TI get horrible reviews on Yelp, and the ones that are good reviews are probably fake. Same on tripadvisor, where tripadvisor actually says they have an ongoing investigation into "interference" with the reviews, probably meaning faked reviews from the restaurants or management.
Do they still have free parking? To me, the best feature is how close it is to the interstate. Also, it's a short walk to the tram and a very short walk to the forum shops at Caesars. But I agree with your assessment of the food. Not great and really pricey even compared to other strip options.
Yes parking is still free. I stayed last weekend there .
I was fortunate enough to see both pirate shows. The original was awesome. Where else do the pirates win
Senor Frogs also offers a $20 voucher when you buy the Go City pass 🔥
TI was our 1st visit to Vegas. It was a comped offer when it was an MGM property. It still holds a piece of my Vegas heart
Thanks for reviewing TI. We have stayed there many times and we were interested in what you would think of it. We are older middle age and love TI. Great review!
When Steve Wynn was thinking of building another building, it was debated if he should do another Mirage tower and expand the property. Instead he decided to build treasure Island based off the pirate stories he read as a kid. Looking at the property now, he would never believe how unique and beautiful it was when it first opened in 93. Las Vegas was really going for the family market and this hotel is proof of it.
Once Wynn sold all his properties the Treasure Island was never the same and each passing year it seem to get a little dirtier and a cheaper feel to it.
Car Guy I so Agree with you it was magical , my boys where about 7 and 8 years old back in the day , they loved it too it had a magic feel too it and just had that certain something Steve Wynn manages too inject into his property’s .
Total let down experience for me as of last week. Never more TI after 10 years :-(
@@LVADK why was it such a let down?
@@CurlyQ227_ for me the overall property was just feeling really worn down. I’ve stayed 10 times over 15 years, but this was my final time (unless the room is 100% comped)
@@LVADK got it. I've never stayed there. Interesting.
I stayed at TI about 20 years ago. I just can't support it anymore with them taking away the pirate show.
Great video, Ruby! Yeah, they got rid of the pirate show. In my opinion, it was a big mistake, because, you would have people coming here to see the pirate show, and then go inside the casino and gamble. Now, there are commercials all over television. They didn't do that before, or if they did, I never saw them.
I see England, I see France...
Recently had a room with the the exact same view to the strip at TI, on 24th floor. At night is was amazing. Ask for a view or say it’s an anniversary or something at check in. Worth a try. Be nice… they might give you that room. Our fridge was not in closet but next to the TV dresser, they’ve done a nice job remodeling service was great and it was very good for the price . And there’s a Tram connecting directly to Mirage just next door. [Where we went to eat breakfast]. Gilly’s food down at the front-lagoon was super. The Bar was too loud for us, but food are is separate and very good. You can people watch to the sidewalk. Overall TI a good location and good deal.
Did you know Gilley's was from Unbar Cowboy 1980's starring John Travolta
The CVS can be a great cost cutting tool as well, love that being there and while more expensive than "normal" CVS stores, it's a deal on the strip for sandwiches, wine etc., :) Thank you for the video! :)
This place is a bit weird for me. They have contrasting themes that don't give the property a true identity that it once had. I'm shocked at how small that pool is for a place that attracts so many families with kids.
The slots are super tight. They have good blackjack rules. The food at Golden Circle is terrible. Tried to get my burger medium rare and was told they only come one way which means they serve frozen patties.
Another elevator dance signature move. Love it! (0:15) & (2:19).
RUBY!! You won my heart when you rode the bull!! You go girl!! 🙌🏻💜 Love Gilley’s as it’s based off of the movie Urban Cowboy (my fav). BEST thing about TI is Free parking!! With other properties raising their rates $35 for 24 hours, it’s a steal!
It is based off the actual Gilley's in Pasadena, Texas (it burned down in 1990) "The largest honky tonk in the world." The bar was a legend even before the movie.
I live in Dallas and we have Gilley’s and Billy Bob’s here but I still enjoy stopping in while in Vegas. Glad to see you rode the bull.
The room looked great but was expensive. You showed a good party hotel with good food and drinks. it didn't seem overly crowded in the old school type casino.😊
I’m finishing an Easter weekend here now. Really enjoyed the pool and lunch at Senior Frogs. Enjoyed a great dinner at The Seafood Shack and Phil’s Steakhouse. The menus are limited, but the food is great. Pounded Fat Tuesdays across the street at Venetian.
Stayed at TI in Dec 23 after Linq tried to scam a tripling in my booked rste. TI room on level 35 overlooking the strip was really good. Short walk to so many food options incl over two bridges just out front. Great location. Good value. Quieter end of strip for deuce stops.
I have just stayed at the TI last week as an invited guest, in their Petite Suite. It was my 10th time to TI, and it will be my last unfortunately. Such a disappointment from start to beginning. The suite was dirty, the hallways smelled of weed, and the property just felt run down compared to my last visit 3 years ago.
Sorry TI, thank you for 10 good years. Time to move on :-(
As a first time visitor (Me and the wife no kids) from the England where would you recommend for a reasonably (mid) priced quieter sort of place to stay? Either off strip or on. We are thinking of visiting for 5 nights in the quieter season. Regards
Can you review the Tuscany? I've been staying there for 15 years. Great reviews you do! Cheers'
You forgot about the mall next door.
A little walk and you can go to the food court (third floor)or CPK, chipotle, Johnny rockets on the lower level near Nordstrom’s.
I also go over to the Palazzo and eat at Grad Lux cafe (aka Cheesecake Factory)2 locations!! One is 24 hr.
Finding food has and will be an issue all over Las Vegas.
And yes Treasure island is my favorite.
Optional resort fee and FREE parking!
Great job on the photography Mr.Ruby.
Your both doing a great consistent vlog.
Good luck
She didn’t get to how to opt-out of the resort fee…can you tell me?
Its okay but looks kind of noisy compared to other hotels on strip
I remember these TI rooms at $8 a night during pandemic. Every night. Should have tried it.
Ruby I’m staying at the Aria right night now and the lady at the Lobby bar is playing . You are so right she is the best I have ever seen play at a bar in Vegas 💯!!!
I miss the old days when they had the pirate show. Remember like it was just yesterday. Another great vid Ruby 👏
The CVS brought in the real drunks, within that group you have the worst of the worst. They probably had guys “gunning” right there by the stage to the almost naked dancers.
Resort fees???
I remember walking by here this past April and seeing the pirate ship just stationary, like it was quite literally parked on the side. (At least it lights up at night.)
I’d never been to Vegas before so I didn’t know what the deal was with it. I’m a little saddened that this is another attraction that’s gone dark that I’ll never get to see in person.
The Retro music you are using makes the video perfectly Vegas! It helps you stand out from others tours for sure-
Did I miss the resort charge advice?
Hi Jack! I forgot to mention it basically if you opt out of Wifi and the pool and the other “resort fee” amenities they will waive them
I used to love the pirate show.
Hi Ruby, just wanna thank you for all your tips, my husband and I went to Vegas Las week and we apply the sandwich hack when we chek in and it worked!!!! We were upgrade to a suit at the mgm signature. I was an awesome stay. Hopefully we'll be back I august. We love your channel!!!
What’s the sandwich hack??
@@jwilk1809 Slipping a 20 between your card and ID to the employee at the front desk when you check in (with the hopes that the bribe will cause them to give you an upgrade worth a lot more than that)
Well Gilly's saloon is the last place you could call a country nightclub and it's pretty liberal nevertheless sometimes they have people like Michael Goodman or just Dave or Rob Stanley bands and they actually play country music here's what pisses me off before the lockdown there was hundreds of single women there most of them were local which means you could get dances and now almost none show up what are these women doing if they're not dancing if you don't dance you get fat now what I like most about Gilly's saloon in Las Vegas is number one the bands number to the dance floor and the security they have good security you've got to have ass kicking security when it comes to drunks drunks are stupid and you got to have people whose willing to take them down if it takes that. I know they need to sell alcohol to keep their quotas but you can't let people get so drunk they become assholes this is something that security and the bartenders have to work together to make sure now the other night a little lady who's hostess some guy came in he was really drunk and she made it clear to him you're not getting a drink you can go to the bar and you can eat and then she went and told the bartender that's the kind of law enforcement you have to have in a bar you can't throw them out you can't find them sleeping in their car and say you have to leave that's the last thing you want to do you don't want them on the road they'll kill someone and your responsible you need to take charge of them when they're drunk as long as they're not causing fights take charge of them get food in them get them sober enough where they're not a threat to society now if they're fighting they need to be in handcuffs bam
Horrible experience here. Nasty smelly room and stepped on the back of someone’s earring on floor.
0:11 The way those two ladies on the left watch you walk by just slays me!
the boat used to sail around the back by the CVS area.. they filled in all of that. WHen that happened the boat didn't sink anymore!
I like staying at TI but I never gamble there cuz I never have won anything there
I don’t know why she is giving me Megan trainer vibes! 😂😅😂
The rooms are great. And yes the pirate show needs to return. Food options are just ok.
U mentioned that u will tell us how we can opt out of the resort fees but did not see it in your end of video.
I'd take Planet Hollywood or Paris over that....
Riding a mechanical bull in a skirt I so classy!!! /s
I love those rubilicious midwest pedicured piggies
Treasure Island is the best for Blackjack
Are you here now? My wife and I are for the week. Would be awesome to say hi!
I stayed at Treasure Island during my first ever visit to Las Vegas back in 2008. I loved the hotel, a very comfortable bed and beautiful decor. I ordered room service one night and the food was generous and delicious. I've since stayed at several different hotels and TI remains one of my favorites. I will likely stay there again and even now after all the parking fees hit The Strip, TI still offers free parking.
Same here. Treasure Island will always be my first home hotel.
The nachos at gillys is AMAZING. Then there is a bar with tons of mojitos. The food and Mojitos were also AMAZING.
I always get claustrophobic in that casino.
Hi Ruby . I’ll be at TI from 6th to 11th of May . Does the pool still get busy on weekends . The had a DJ there on Saturdays before covid
Weekends are jamming, just stayed there..DJ is pretty good
@@scotthall612 thanks Scott . flying there from Sydney via Ireland to see the family . Been to Vegas so many times . Covid messed it all up but glad to be going back
9pm - 2am all you can drink.... Holy moly. Crazy.
I’ve stayed there. Yes it’s the best cheap hotel on strip.
My wife wants to know if the bed was comfortable?
Looks like the baker's crowd now are people that live there
stop with that annoying back round music
you were very nice,,,,it reminded me of a Holliday in
Ate at that Senoir Frogs in April and it was awful
Cool realistic lady doing great videos.
The pirate show was the best and I'm 63
A wet Ruby just the rite temp...my dream stay
looks like a lot of kids running around.....
6.7 seconds on a Bull named Fumachu
Gilley's has breakfast too 😊
for breakfast just walk across the street to dennys
even dennys isn't very cheap these days, but it's better than $11 oatmeal!
I have been to Vegas pretty much at least once a year for the last 20 or so years. One thing I have noticed is the location in which your hotel is plays a big part in your overall experience. Sometimes staying mid strip or south feels like a completely different kind of trip. In my opinion the North end of the strip (Mirage, TI, Venetian, Palazzo, Wynn, Encore) is the best, and I honestly don't go to Vegas anymore unless I stay in this section. It just feels more upscale and crowds are a bit more classy. It feels way more relaxed around that area compared to mid strip and the south end, which can be ghetto at times. Seriously, some places towards the south are just unwalkable at times. Staying at a "luxury" hotel on the north side like Wynn/Encore/Venetian/Palazzo/Resorts World just feels like an upgrade compared to staying at mid strip luxury hotels like Aria/Cosmo/Bellagio. I would take TI over many of the other 3/4 star hotels on the Strip just for the location. It allows you to stay at the best location at at the most reasonable price.
I'm completely with you on location! This area of the strip is the best with plenty of food choices.
It's also walkable to Caesars.
do u know what room number this is
