    The worst thing Treasure Island ever did was ditch this show for the Sirens of TI and then drop the show out front entirely. Too bad.

      They got rid off the original pirate show because African American people complained it was racist then another reason is because cvs bought rights to build a store basically ruined everything

      Theme park vegas was pretty awesome but in a way it was just a phase. Adult oriented Vegas is still the way vegas must be. That being said. little things like the pirate show should make a return just due to how awesome the spectacle was.

    Thank you for sharing this! I'll always miss the original Treasure Island at the Mirage, Battle of Buccaneer Bay Pirate Show. Current Treasure Island is no longer Treasure Island anymore since October 2003. It was nice that MGM ruined Treasure Island and sold it to Phil Ruffin in 2009 knowing that they don't care and know that they ruined the heavily 18th century Caribbean Pirate themed hotel and casino with a romantic tropical island vibe shared with its sister hotel and casino, The Mirage. Now, it is boring and one of the most ugly looking hotel and casino on the strip!

      Over the years they have managed to change the Las Vegas that was to something that does not resemble anything like it was which is a shame, sometimes some things are left better off been left alone and The Neon Museum should be a street showing all of the original lights and should be free.

      ZandurFox yeah they totally mess up treasure island and I remember I came to Las Vegas to watch this pirate show and especially I remember the Luxor they used to the sphinx laser fountain show and the airport complained to discontinue the show because the pilot interference and dragon show in Excalibur’s and dragon broke down and discontinued too and Las Vegas is not the same anymore

      @@Kanjanapisan I agree. The Las Vegas strip is getting more stale, bland, and boring nowadays. Look what happened to the simple and elegant Monte Carlo Las Vegas! The classy French Riveria with fountains, statues, and beautiful architecture had been replaced with a boring and ugly so-called park theme from stupid MGM! Monte Carlo is now the dumb 'Park MGM!' What were they thinking!?

    Visited Vegas for the first time when I was 6 back in the 90s and loved these kinds of attractions about Vegas. Lived there for a year couple years ago and loved all the old memories that came to mind. Unfortunately they're not making Vegas unique anymore. Still a fun place, but not as unique as it used to be.
