We stayed at TI for 3 nights in the middle of October. We checked in on Saturday at just before noon. Our non smoking room was not ready at check in time, but we were offered a smoking room on the 35th floor with a view of the strip. We accepted that room, and we were pleasentely suprised that you could not even tell it was a smoking room. I would give the ckeck in process an A. TI has a great location, with a tram that takes you right to the Mirage. There are lots of other casinos within a few walking minutes. I would give the location a B. The rooms were very clean and the top 6 floors have their own elevator that takes a key to access. I would give the rooms an A- The casino was just how I like them. Not to big, not to small. The lighting in the casino was good. I hate dark casinos. You only get rated at the tables if you are betting $25 or more and the dealers seemed like they would rather be somewhere else. There are plenty of slots and video games. I would give the casino a B. There were several resturaunts and bars, and we tried most of them. Like everything in Vegas these days the cost of food is a lot more than it used to be. I probably should mention that we were there for the weekend to get married. We didn't get married at TI, but we heard that you can have your ceremony on the ship. Overall I would give our TI experience a B+.

TI did surprise me. It was much nicer than I expected and it was a great value. It's definately not the Bellagio or the Wynn but it was very nice for it's class of hotels.

There was no line at check in around 5pm. It was a little confusing to find our room after the check in. Perhaps better signage might be helpful. Getting to the room required walking through a very smokey casino. I was a little surprised by how smokey it was. The room was nice, clean, and updated. The work out/spa floor was great (requires a usage fee) and the hotel has great amentities including Starbucks, ample gift shop, and a couple of great restaurants.

Checking out was a breeze through xpress check out in the room and the bell captain stored our luggage until our flight.

We recently stayed here with our 5 year old as he loves pirates. The room was large, comfortable and we had a strip view. The Sirens of the Sea pirate show however was closed during our stay! Not a problem really though as there is no much happening that it kept our child entertained - monorail down the strip; Bellagio fountains; Mirage volcano. We were there over a weekend and could have stayed longer as there is so much to do in Vegas - catch a show; outlet shopping (fantastic value); Grand Canyon; swim in the pool, which we did. Gambling is of course what Vegas is famous for, but you can do so much more while you are there. The restaurants were great with children providing a child's menu with no raised eyebrows.
The pool was large enough for children and child-less couples to enjoy separately.
Only criticism of the hotel is that you had to walk through the smoke filled casino to get to the lift, and the coffee shop, buffet and other restaurants are in this area, but then again, it's the casinos that make the money.

Treasure Island (4 nights)
Our check in was smooth (under 15 minutes) and off we went to our room (10034). I asked for an upgrade with a nice view, and it turned out good. We had a partial view of the strip and the pool area. I asked for a king bed, and we got that too. Let me just say, that king bed is too die for!!!! It was one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. This is a great hotel. The location is perfect, and although its a pretty large hotel, its small compared to some of the others we visited. Very easy to navigate and find your way around.

Our favorite place to hang out at night after a long day was Kahunaville. Two nights we got to enjoy the dueling pianos, which was very entertaining. We also ate two breakfasts and one lunch here, which both were very good. We opted for the $7.95 breakfast which was plenty to start your day, and I loved their scrambled eggs with onions, peppers and cheese). I also tried the mini samplers for lunch which consisted of small bite size buns with pina colada chicken, mushroom chicken and pulled pork. All were very good, but I did tell the waitress that they need to lighten up on the salt for the pork. This was on their lunch special menu for under $10.00 and you got plenty for that price.

The Coffee Shop: Great breakfast. Some items were a little pricey, but I had the stacked pancakes with sausage and scrambled eggs. Way more than one person could eat, but for $9.95 it was plenty for the price. My husband enjoyed his steak and egg breakfast, and for $17.00 dollars, it was worth it.

One night at Kville the flair bartenders put on one of their shows and it was a lot of fun. Everyone got free shots!

The Buffet at TI: Very good. The barbeque ribs and greens were awesome. My husband had some of everything, and for dessert he ate chocolate covered bananas and strawberries. For less than $25 per person, it was well worth it.

Mystere at TI: Great show!!! and we only paid $20.00 (timeshare tour of Tahiti Village) so it was worth sitting/touring for 2.5 hours), but we did not buy (and had no intentions either). We were told that the show would start seating at 9pm, for a 930 show, and my advice don't waste your time rushing, because althought the lines are very long, they move very quickly!!! We had awesome seats!!

Overall this a great hotel. Not to big, just the right size, and very good proximity to all the strip hotels. Our check in and check out were a breeze!!! We look forward to staying here again.
