I wish I could move in!!

I stayed at the Treasure Island in June of 2003 for four nights and absolutely loved it. The rooms aren't huge, but are a good size and are decorated in pretty, soft goldtones. The bed is the most comfortable one I have ever slept in. There is a nice little sitting area with a round table and two armchairs near the window so you can look out and enjoy the awesome view. If you can afford to, upgrade to the tower deluxe room, which will get you on a higher floor and guarantee you a great view. The bathroom is pretty because it's done up in marble, but it would be nice if there were two sinks and a seperate shower and whirlpool tub. Oh well, it's still gorgeous. Be sure to eat at the Terrace Cafe -- it's my favorite! They're open 24 hours, they have a nice relaxing atmosphere, the food is pretty good, and you won't pay an arm and a leg for it. I got the nachos everyday there and they are the best I've ever had. I can't wait to go back and get them again (I'm going back to Vegas this July and yes, I am staying at TI again). The staff is very friendly and do their best to accomodate you. I like the fact that they have a Krispy Kreme there. The hallways and the mini lobby on each floor of the hotel will make you feel like you're in a five star hotel, even though TI is only rated at 4. They definitely fooled me! The pool is small, compared to the one at the Mirage, but it's still very nice. All in all, I have to say I was VERY impressed with TI and can't really think of anything negative to say about them. I was able to relax from the minute I got there because of the vibe there. I made the mistake of staying at the Mirage last year and am very sorry that I did. The service was not nearly as good and that really ruined my vacation for me. I have seen a lot of mediocre or bad reviews for TI and it makes me a little sad because I had a great experience there and I think that most everyone would. My only word of caution is that this hotel recently shifted to a more adult theme (sexy "sirens" or scantily clad women in the pirate show) so it's not appropriate for young children. I think it's great for just about everyone else, though. The location is great, the rooms are gorgeous, the people are friendly, and the vibe is right. I LOVE this place and can't wait to go back. It's the best vacation I've ever had! Good luck and have fun!!
