The waterfront at Treasure Island features Señor Frog’s, a lively restaurant and bar that overlooks the resort’s lagoon and replica pirate ships. Once home to the “Sirens of TI” show, the area now serves as a social hub with fountains, themed décor, and outdoor seating that captures views of the Las Vegas Strip. The playful red exterior and nautical props recall the property’s original pirate theme, blending nostalgia with the casual, party-friendly energy that defines this corner of the Strip today.

Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, often called “TI,” opened in 1993 on the Las Vegas Strip as a pirate-themed resort developed by Steve Wynn. The property’s signature red and cream façade overlooks a lagoon once home to nightly pirate ship battles—an attraction that became one of the Strip’s most recognizable spectacles. While the resort has evolved over time, moving away from its original family-friendly theme, the nautical elements and ship masts at its entrance remain as nostalgic reminders of its 1990s Las Vegas showmanship.

Encore Las Vegas, part of Wynn Resorts, opened in December 2008 as a companion to the adjacent Wynn Las Vegas. Its bronze-colored glass façade curves elegantly above the Strip, reflecting both sunlight and skyline with the resort’s signature minimalist style. The 48-story tower features luxury suites, fine dining, and high-end retail, continuing the brand’s focus on refined design and personalized service. With its modern architecture and warm tones, Encore represents the quieter, more polished side of the Las Vegas luxury scene.
