Treasure Island, commonly called TI, is a 2,885-room resort at 3300 South Las Vegas Boulevard on the North Strip, opened by Mirage Resorts on October 26, 1993 and independently owned and operated by Phil Ruffin since 2009. The single 36-story tower sits beside Fashion Show Mall and a short walk from Wynn Las Vegas, with its old pirate-lagoon facade now fronting a more adult-leaning resort.
TI’s draw is value: reliably discounted room rates and free self-parking and valet in a market where both are increasingly rare, paired with one genuine headline attraction in Mystère, the longest-running Cirque du Soleil show on the Strip. It’s a practical, no-frills base for travelers who want Strip proximity without Strip prices.

Rooms, Pool and Casino
All 2,885 rooms sit in the resort’s single tower, ranging from standard Deluxe Rooms to suites, and the property is regularly among the better value picks on the Strip for straightforward, no-resort-drama stays. The casino floor covers roughly 47,900 square feet of table games and slots, sized for a comfortable, less overwhelming gaming experience than the Strip’s mega-casinos.
The TI Pool & Cabanas deck is a guest-favorite outdoor space with a heated year-round pool, a 25-person hot tub, and rentable cabanas with TVs and host service; it leans toward a manageable, DJ-driven poolside scene on weekends rather than a sprawling dayclub, which fits the resort’s overall low-key personality.
Shows, Attractions and Dining
Mystère by Cirque du Soleil has run at TI since December 1993, making it the longest-tenured Cirque production in Las Vegas and the resort’s marquee reason to book a room here. The resort’s Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. exhibit, which had operated on-site since 2016, permanently closed in January 2024 and has not been replaced by another ticketed exhibit; the space now houses additional retail and entertainment options. Current on-property entertainment instead centers on Gilley’s Saloon, a honky-tonk bar with live country music, line dancing and a mechanical bull, plus The Cove Bar & Arcade (arcade games, duck-pin bowling and golf simulators) and the Polynesian-themed MANA Luau dinner show in the Treasure Island Ballroom. The illuminated pirate ships remain visible in the lagoon out front even though the free outdoor Sirens of TI shows ended in 2013.
Dining leans casual and value-priced: Gilley’s Saloon doubles as a Western-themed bar-food destination; Señor Frog’s and the Seafood Shack cover Mexican and casual seafood; and Phil’s Steak House, named for owner Phil Ruffin, is the property’s upscale option.
Location and Who Should Stay Here
TI sits on the North Strip beside Fashion Show Mall and within walking distance of Wynn and Encore, and it’s a manageable stroll or short rideshare to the Sphere. It’s farther from the South Strip’s arenas — [T-Mobile Arena](https://thrillzing.com/music-venues/t-mobile-arena-las-vegas/) and [Allegiant Stadium](https://thrillzing.com/stadiums/allegiant-stadium-las-vegas/) are several miles south, best reached by rideshare or the Strip monorail rather than on foot.
TI suits budget-conscious couples, Cirque du Soleil fans, and travelers who want a real Strip address without paying luxury-resort rates. It’s a fine fit for adults wanting a lower-key casino floor, but families chasing splashy pools or headline concert residencies will find bigger options at neighboring resorts.

Treasure Island FAQs
Does Treasure Island charge a resort fee, and is parking free?
Yes, TI charges a mandatory daily resort fee (roughly in the $50-plus range, subject to change) covering Wi-Fi and other amenities. Both self-parking and valet parking remain free for registered hotel guests, which is notable since many Strip resorts now charge for parking.
How walkable is Treasure Island’s location on the Strip?
TI is on the North Strip next to Fashion Show Mall, an easy walk to Wynn, Encore and the Sphere area. It’s too far to comfortably walk to T-Mobile Arena or Allegiant Stadium on the South Strip, so plan on rideshare or the monorail for those.
Is the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. exhibit still at Treasure Island?
No. The interactive Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. exhibit closed permanently in January 2024 after operating on TI’s second floor since 2016, and no replacement ticketed attraction has taken its place. Mystère by Cirque du Soleil remains the resort’s headline on-site show.
