So, I was visiting Vegas for the first time, and bringing along my daughter. Where should we stay! Treasure Island (or TI for short) seemed to have the best of all worlds. The right balance of kid friendly activity, next to full Vegas fun! And it was just right. A bit kitsch, flashy and fun for her. A bit exciting, thrilling and entertaining for us.
TI has SEVEN, yes 7, different room types to choose from. Prices vary depending on the time of year you are traveling, and the day of the week you stay. Prices for weekend nights can be nearly double those of weekday! Summer is not as popular as Autumn/Winter months. You can find Deluxe rooms (which is their cheapest) starting at $99 a night. And suites head into mid $300-500 a night!
I stayed in the cheapest, and it felt like 4 star plus! Lovely plush room, good size, nothing to fault at all. The first thing my daughter did was look out the window. We overlooked the strip and the staging area for the 4 times nightly pirate show (7/8:30/10/11:30). If you've seen "Miss Congeniality 2" then you've had a taster for the show.... The first thing my daughter complained was "we're going to be kept awake by the show every night". But every night, for every show, she had her nose pressed up to the glass watching it over and over again! She loved it!
One BIG mistake I made, was not booking tickets for the Circque du Soleil show before we got there. You MUST see this, but book the tickets as far in advance as possible. I didn't get to see the show at TI, or any of their other productions in Vegas - though I have seen them before. MUST, MUST, MUST book this and see their show!! Cannot rave about them enough. Kids love it and adults are just blown away by what they are seeing. Perfect family show!
Now something at TI, but NOT for the family is Tangerine. A night club in the hotel that has burlesque performances 4 times a night. Ohhhh, la la! Didn't venture there, was too exhausted by the end of the day!
Back to family fun, and the pool area at TI is perfect. Not too big or small. Perfect for a lazy dip on a hot day. If you want to make a full day of it, you might want to arrange a cabana for the day. You get your own poolside tent, with comfy loungers and chairs. A fan overhead provides a light breeze, and if the kids get board with swimming, you've got a flat screen TV overhead to keep them interested!! You have your own cabana boy/girl sorting out all your needs, like food, drink, towels, etc.... Prices vary on this again depending on time of year/day etc.... But it's worth plonking down the cash and having a full tanning/swimming day in luxury.
Food - Well there's plenty of choices. For regular meals I'd recommend the Buffet at TI. Everything you can possibly imagine gets served here, at one time or other. Prices vary depending on the meal & day. (Bfast = $12 - Dinner $20-26). There's even a champagne brunch on weekends. You can eat till you explode. Everyone, kids and adults, just enjoy having the choice of trying many things. It's good service, and worth the money!!
Finally, the gambling - yes it's everywhere in the hotel. Though it can be tough to explain to your kid why they can't play too! There are security guys on patrol, and if your child ventures in to the gambling area they will ask you to remove them. This can be tough, especially if you have very young children, as there is only a change in carpet style showing you the divide between "the casino" and "the corridor".. So don't be surprised if you get a tap on the shoulder, because your little darling has crossed the boundry! Nevada has strict laws, and security keep a close eye on this.
All in all, a great hotel in a fun city.
