Unmet Expectations: Sirens of TI
  • Tip Rating:
  • Updated By Hedgehogs on December 7, 2003
  • Las Vegas Page by Hedgehogs
  • The free show outside the Treasure Island Hotel is now something called the Sirens of TI. Do not bother waiting around for this! It was the worst thing I've ever seen. I'd heard fairly good things about the previous show, so I thought we'd hang around and wait for it one evening. It was just terrible; don't even bother if you have kids. It's just a bunch of tacky dancing and singing, and it just not even entertaining in a tacky way.

    Just don't go.

    If you want some free entertainment, walk around in the shopping area of the Aladdin (Desert Passage) and look for the performers they have there. We saw some really great acts in there.
    Or wait for the fountains at the Bellagio in the day and/or night, since they are different all the time.

    helicopter flight.

    I took the Las Vegas Nights the 13th of October. I was extremely disappointed. The helicopter flew in a route that only the people on the left, and in the center could see the hotels. I was on the right side, and saw none of the largest hotels. Plus the vibration of the helicopter negated any night photography.

    Suggestions: if one wants to fly in a helicopter, book online for the $27.99 flight. Once in Las Vegas the price is $55.00.
    If one wants to take pictures from the air, use a camera that has at least an ASA setting of 1000. If you do not have an adjustable ASA setting, fly during the day for pictures.

    Another alterative is go up to the top of the Stratosphere, and spend as much time up there as you want.

    I can't believe I actually paid money, and wasted my time to see this place.

    If you REALLY don't have anything better to do with your time...which I doubt, don't waste your time at this place.

  • Circus Circus is getting very faded - went up there to take a peek, and it looked very old - even the acts I saw were dull.

  • i felt the $40 for $20 deal at the trop was a bit chintzy when i played my tokens out, the gift items selection was very poor. i got a polo shirt, but the only color that was in my size was an awful pastel lime green. otherwise i love the trop.

  • Going to the top of the Stratosphere Tower. I can't believe they charge people for that! For my $6 I all got was to find out that Las Vegas isn't as big as it feels from the ground. What a waste.

    The Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton is a big rip-off of die-hard Trekkers. Advertised repeatedly as $19.95 to enter as many times you want on the day you buy your ticket, we arrived to find the price bumped to $29.95! YIKES! The ride was nifty, as was the Klingon in character, and the themed shops. But the bar staff had NO customer service skills. Restaurant smelled funny instead of yummie. Totally not worth what they charged to get in, but once you'd taken the cab off the strip, you might as well... The main hotel casino was nice. Won $100 on the dollar slots!

    Siegfried & Roy's show in 1999 was quite boring. The tigers are beautiful, but they're not on the stage long enough. S & R looked old & tired. But in 2002 we went back to visit their 'Secret Garden'. The dolphins don't do tricks, but they're still nifty to watch.

    In theory the Excalibur sounds like it has a cool theme for a casino. You know the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur, etc... Yet, it was without a doubt the sorriest casino I visited with in Vegas! The inside is kind of dumpy with corny decorations. Also, most of the clientele seemed to be senior citizens pushing around their oxygen tanks, LOL! :-P

  • Be sure to miss the lion habitat, even though it's free it's not worth the price of your time in line.
