We pass by TI usually while getting to other places on the Strip. Last time I finally went in to do a bathroom break, though. :) However, the ship is kind of neat to walk by. I've never gone to see the show but it's always at ackward times. Being only at night we're kind of busy doing other things.

However, my unique tip would be to visit the plants/gardens on the corner of the strip. The corner where have TI, Palazzo, Wynn, and the Mall. In those gardens I saw some beautiful flowers and birds. I watched a hummingbird feed for like 20 minutes. It was really nice on such a plastic, touristy Strip.

Every night there's a pirate show on outside Treasure Island. Forget your grubby bearded pirates because this show is sexed up! Basically a bunch of scantily clad ladies (the Sirens) battle a bunch of muscular men (the pirates). The pyrotechnics are cool and the show draws a big crowd. There's singing and dancing and best of all its FREE!

Shows are at 5.30pm, 7pm, 8.30pm and 10pm. Get there early if you want a good spot.

A free show not to be missed in Las Vegas is the “Sirens of TI”. The show takes place in front of Treasure Island hotel on the strip. The show takes place on two pirate ships, as the sirens take on the pirates they entertain with songs, dances and pyrotechnics. This is not a show to be missed by adults and children alike.

THE SHOW TAKES PLACE EVERY EVENING AT 5.30 - 7.00 - 8.30 AND 10PM AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF THE TREASURE ISLAND HOTEL.

Originally, Treasure Island had a really cool pirate show, where pirates fight against the Britts. However, the show was changed last summer, which reopened October 26, 2003. This show is the worst show I have ever seen anywhere! There are not enough negative words to describe this show.

Treasure Island tried to add sex appeal to their show, but what they did was ruin the entire show altogether. Pirates battle (if you call it that) against the Sirens (from Homer's: The Odyssey). We are not talking about awesome sword play, but more like carefully clinging swords together in a gaylike fashion. There are a few special effects here and there, but not enough to make a difference. After the battle is over, all the characters bust out with some type of poorly choreographed dance routine; which they dance to some terrible loud music; which is played by one of the Sirens on the steal drums.

Just about the entire time I was there, I was thinking to myself, "I can't wait for this show to be over," which never seemed to end. And the worse part is, once you start watching, there is no way of escape. Everyone was packed into the show like sardines or fans at a Mexican soccer game (you get my point). And once the show was over, mass chaos in trying to get free. It must have taken us 20 minutes of pushing, kicking, screaming, and farting, to go 100 feet. Luckily I had my two-year old son in a stroller to run people over with.

Do yourself the biggest favor and skip this one. And don?t go just so you can write your own Virtual Tourist page. To make matters worse, Treasure Island took down their most famous skull & crossbones sign and changed it with a digital screen formed together by the lowercase letters of "t" & "i." This is another big mistake, because you can hardly make out what's on the screen. I?ll bet some people are going to loose their jobs over these new disasters.

In conclusion, don't go!!!

However, if you somehow feel compelled to go, the show times are as follows:

5:30pm / 7pm / 8:30pm / 10pm – (7 days a week)

When Treasure Island opened in 1993, its funky pirate theme was mostly geared towards kids in an effort to bring families to Las Vegas and open up a whole new market for the city. Soon enough, it became clear that Sin City would more or less always remain an adults playground, and in 2003 the hotel's "Buccaneer Bay" became the more sexy "Siren's Cove".

Two of the hotels attractions are quite famous. The first one is the Cirque du Soleil show "Mystere", the Cirque's first resident show in Vegas and still one of the most popular. The second one is the free "Sirens of T.I." show that takes place every night outside the hotel. Even though the show's storyline is pretty simple (a power struggle between a bunch of sirens and a bunch of pirates, guess who wins?!), it still gives a pretty good idea of what a Las Vegas show is all about: some pretty good special effects, a catchy soundtrack, some humor and plenty of sexy dancers. Of course, the fact that it's free makes it a very popular attraction so showing up about 30 min before showtime is a good idea if you want to grab a good spot. You can catch the "Sirens of T.I." at 5:30 pm, 7:00 pm, 8:30 pm and 10:00 pm.

We have been in this casino several times and seem to have some pretty good luck when we did gamble. The Free live performance in front of the casino was pretty cool with huge live props such as a pirate ship that was very enjoyable.

Yet, I guess the times have changed and the casino thinks it needs to attract the younger crowds, well lets hope they are 21. It is called Sirens of TI® and begins with a 17th century clash between a group of beautiful, tempting sirens and a band of renegade pirates as stated on the web site. Ok, I was pretty content with the old pirate show instead of prancing women and hulky men who are supposedly doing battle…Yeah right whatever!

It is at least FREE to see, so why not. Located in front of Treasure Island Cove- nightly at 7:00 p.m., 8:30 p.m., 10:00 p.m., and 11:30 p.m.

Located on central Strip next to its sister resort, the Mirage, Treasure Island is best known for the show that takes place here a few times every night. They used to have an entertaining pirate show which we saw in 2001 but since it is Vegas they had to make it cheesier and so they changed it into a sirens show. The sirens show is very similar in fact to the pirates show, just that now they have some scantily clad women who dance to music. The show is running three or four times daily and you have to come early if you wish to get a good spot. Traffic pretty much stops in this area when the show is on. Treasure Island hotel and casino is themed on Robert Louis Stevenson's novel of the same name, although lately the management seems eager to downplay it. They had a logo with a skull and bones which they replaced it with a very sleek looking new logo (with no skull and no bones). The entrance features a Caribbean lagoon (this is where the sirens show takes place). Inside there are isolated pirate touches like ship figureheads on the walls. The hotel is also home to the popular contemporary circus Cirque du Soleil with their show "Mystere" performed in a specially customized showroom.

This is one of the hotels that really caught my eye. Walking through, what struck me about treasure island was the energy within the hotel. The place seemed to be jumping even though it was the middle of the afternoon. TI was a very trendy place that i would definately consider staying in when i return to Las Vegas.

The Treasure Island pirate show takes place out front of the hotel directly on the strip and is another of vegas's free offerings. The show takes place on the large pirate ship out front of the hotel where the Treasure Island sirens have capture one of the pirates. The pirates show up trying to rescue their capture mate and a battle ensues. For a free show, this is fairly impressive. The show is complete with songs dancing and fireworks. The show takes place 4 times per night at 7:00, 8:30, 10:00 and 11:30
