Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Mom and I went to see Mystere at Treasure Island Wednesday night.  It's one of the five Cirque shows currently showing here in Las Vegas.  It's a great show for all ages and kept us both entertained with acrobatics, gymnastics, and jokes.  I personally liked the giant crying baby.  It's considered the original Cirque du Soleil show and has earned the Best Production Show in Las Vegas title eight times.  The only downside about any Cirque show is the pricey tickets.  I refuse to pay full price for any Las Vegas show so I will shop around online for deals.  The best deals are usually found on Travel Zoo.
Treasure Island has a great location on the strip if you are looking for a place to stay that is convenient to everything the strip has to offer.  It's rooms are reasonably priced, except during holiday weekends, and is located at the center of all the action on the strip.  It is located with in walking distance of The Mirage, Palazzo, Venetian and the Fashion Show Mall to name a few.

There's a great free attraction at this casino as well, The Sirens of TI.  It shows three times a day starting at 7 pm and is a pirate themed show with singing, dancing, and fireworks.  It takes place outside the front of Treasure Island and can be seen even from across the street from the hotel.  It's worth checking it out and is especially entertaining for children.


This motorcycle titled, "Sirens of TI," was made by Metropolitan Choppers and artist Scott Cawood.  He collects scrap metal and turns them into pieces of art like the motorcycle you see here.  You can check out this motorcycle inside of the Treasure Island Casino and you can find out more details about it on the TI website.
A view of Las Vegas Boulevard from the pedestrian cross walk outside of TI. That is the Palazzo located in the background.
And if you are lucky, you just might find Jack Sparrow outside of Treasure Island posing for pictures.  No, he has no affiliation with the hotel what-so-ever so be sure to give him some cash for posing for you.
