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.
Watching the Mirage volcano erupt and then the pirates fight at TI will always be a fond memory.
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 !!!
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!
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
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😊
Hey beautiful!!! Room looked very nice and modern!!! Loved that you got on the mechanical bull...you are a savage! 😜
It’s the best location. Next to fashion show, Venetian, & Wynn.
Never really associated TI as a party place but definitely a mid-range family destination based upon my experience there.
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!
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
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
0:11 The way those two ladies on the left watch you walk by just slays me!
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.
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
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.
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
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 🍻❤
My 70 year old Aunt treated me to a week in Vegas, my first and only time, and we stayed at TI. We loved it, and they gave us a room facing the strip, way, way up high (don't remember which floor). When they heard it was was first visit, they sent a bottle of champagne to our room! I honestly can't wait to go back, there are so many places I'd like to stay. Your videos are simply the best too!!
The Retro music you are using makes the video perfectly Vegas! It helps you stand out from others tours for sure-
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.
I was fortunate enough to see both pirate shows. The original was awesome. Where else do the pirates win
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’m glad you had a good experience at TI. I never hear about ppl staying there or reviews so I’m happy a lot of ppl in the comments are also saying that had a great stay too. I’ll keep them in mind.
I miss the old days when they had the pirate show. Remember like it was just yesterday. Another great vid Ruby 👏
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.
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! :)
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.
Did I miss the part of how to opt out of the resort fees?
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’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.
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.
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.
Me and my wife just got home from TI today. I thank you so much for allyour videos you helped soooo much with what to do. Iv been to vegas several times and even then i still needed your help. My wife spoke with you in instagram as i dont have any of those things. Anyone reading, rubys advice on ellis island for breakfast is a must, very great breakfast at great prices. Your videos are great and i look forward to many more. My wife is a subscriber now but i keep letting her know mr and mrs ruby were my friends first 🤣😂🤣
i stayed at the Palazzo in 2012, we were able to hear and watch the pirate show from our window! It was fantastic
The reason the pirate show stopped when CVS moved in is because before CVS became a convenience store/pharmacy we all know and love it was call the Caribbean Vengeance Squad. An agency that swore to rid the seas of any and all pirate vermin with extreme prejudice! After putting a stop to most all piracy on the high seas and seizing all the pirate booty(which turned out to be mostly pharmaceuticals and seasonal candies) they decided to sell said items at a reasonable price to the public. Hence what we now know as CVS(customer value stores) was born. So treasure island knows that any pirate show singing or not would be met with dire consequences. Hope that explains why no pirate show.
Oh good video btw.
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)
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?
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.
You guys always have the best soundtracks, ruby still killing it!
The mammoth tusk near the entrance is something of a historic beauty that look many generations of people to work on and complete!
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.
The nachos at gillys is AMAZING. Then there is a bar with tons of mojitos. The food and Mojitos were also AMAZING.
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.
CVS takes up the space where the pirate ship was docked. Loved that show. Been staying at TI because the room rates are good, free parking and a mini fridge. Also close to the Fashion Show Mall and bridge to the Venetian and not too far to walk to the Miracle Mile shops. No high end dining and not a lot of food offerings. Buffet was replaced by a sports book. Then again, TI was never known for its dining options.
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.
Senor Frogs also offers a $20 voucher when you buy the Go City pass 🔥
If I can’t sit near, in the pool with a cold drink on a hot day I’m not staying there!
Hey I think you forgot to mention about the resort fees and not paying them?
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.😊
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.
Miss TI. I remember eating breakfast buffet there not bad at all. Slots are cool! Glad they’re remodeling all rooms 👍👍
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.
Great Video. Glad to see your back in Vegas!
I was there in the 90s as a child the TI show was Dope. I was there at Mandalay Bay for my bday
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.
Thanks for showing the TI. I was lucky to get to stay at the TI. last November. When I do come back to Las Vegas. The TI. will be on my list of places to stay.
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 .
That pool is pretty and wasn't packed which is enjoyable. The room was 👌 nice. The food at Senor Frog looks yummy 😋
Had dinner at the original Senior Frogs in Mazatlán many years ago. Happy to see the Vegas version had good food also.
Our favorite was their Buffet, i don't think it is there anymore, Gambling was fun, different atmosphere as you said!!!
Thankyou Ruby! I’ve been waiting for you to do this one x
I stumbled in here in December to check out the casino....it was jammed! With cowboys. It was the world rodeo championship week. Lots of "yee-hahs" and people watching 10/10
The rooms are great. And yes the pirate show needs to return. Food options are just ok.
Great video. Glad your back in Vegas.
Stayed at TI last year for my 1st ever Vegas trip. The room was clean and up to date. Extremely clean bathroom, no water damage or anything. Pool was a main destination for me and was very well maintained. Food was a little limited( and no, I did not order room service), but the bartenders really knew their drinks and gave me a pretty good bang for my buck. The only overpriced thing was the pool tiki bar. Every member of the there was extremely polite and kind. The tram to Mirage was down, but I was hoping to walk up and down the strip. I know TI has had detractors, but I can recommend it if you're looking to get inexpensive rates and great access to the rest of the strip. The only thing was that there's not a whole lot to do in the main building. Solid 8/10
Looovvveee TI one of my fav hotel to go to! Too bad the pirate show is gone. Was my fav thing to go watch when i was in vegas! Thank u for the review on TI ruby! Didnt kmow they updated their rooms.
I just love your humble and down to earth videos. Thanks for sharing. I would have imagined that TI was more downhill than it is so cool. I’ll have to check out the mechanical bull when I’m in town… too bad about the pirate show though. They should really bring that back at least in the summertime.
I used to always go to the Coffee Shop at TI and get a big bowl of Pho and a Bahn Mi to nullify any hangovers.
Good video. I always call TI the Motel 6 of the Strip. Not the best but it is a place to sleep.
We stay at TI all the time; we get great room deals as loyal customers. For dinner we like the Seafood Shack. The ventilation is pretty bad though - the smoke in the air last time was pretty bad.
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 remember these TI rooms at $8 a night during pandemic. Every night. Should have tried it.
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.
I chose TI for my 40th, had a great time , such a good location too for the price.
Sinbad the Sailor baby! great video Run! Ride!
First hotel my family and I stayed at, best location on the strip. Great pool. Highly recommended
I've stayed there twice and i loved it both times!!! and it is extremely cheap on the week days!!
Great vid..as always. Thank you so much for sharing..blessings 🙏
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 Ruby! Another great video! 👍
I like the other side if the Strip personally.
It’d be cool if you could do a video on what you spend at each casino or for the entire trip. It seemed y’all were there for quite a long time.
Would you ever do a Q&A?
Cool video Love the MKE shirt!!!
Can you review the Tuscany? I've been staying there for 15 years. Great reviews you do! Cheers'
I was there a few years ago with my dad and i loved it
Omg i was just there watching the Cirque du Soleil show at 7pm lastnight!!
Just stayed there...loved it .. my family had so much fun...Treasure Island baby
I've stayed their 2x it's a great location good food selections and the beds are so comfortable
I stayed at this hotel over 07/07/07 and really enjoyed our visit
9pm - 2am all you can drink.... Holy moly. Crazy.
Another good video with great information.
Thank you for the videos Ruby.
Stayed there last year in July. Great experience. Casino was great. Only issue we had was the check in process. Took us 1 hour and 30 mins just to check in. Waiting in line.
I love TI i won my very 1st jackpot there 12,906bucks...
Hi Ruby. I remember that, ☠ show. Girl I love ❤ ya & your ALL your videos!!! Congrats 👏 👏 to you ❤ 😘
Today I checked out of my room in treasure Island. It was amazing!
Senior frogs has an amazing drag brunch 2 times a day Thursday - Sunday that is 100% worth the money its a blast
I've been three times, always found it a good balance of things. Worst coffee in the world at the aptly named "The Coffee Shop" but the food was alright. ;) Thank you!
