Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas

Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas
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.
