Okay, maybe I'm an overly nostalgic guy....but I miss \"Treasure Island\". That place was great! \"TI\".....\"T...I...?\" What's that? Some 80's detective? \n\nUnfortunately \"Treasure Island\" became another MGM-Mirage casualty when it became \"T.I.\", in the \"let's become uber hip & trendy\" era of Vegas. I can't really say as I blame the business plan of MGM-Mirage. The fact is, you put a few upgrades, market it as a \"chic\" establishment, then triple your room rates and food, quadruple your drinks and add an \"ultra lounge\" and you're making bank off of morons who try to see who can out impress each other. \n\nI for one miss the old pirate show, the pirate theme, and yes even the skull and cross and bones sign that adorned the strip for a decade. Like I said, I may be overly nostalgic...but really...does EVERY hotel in Vegas have to go this direction? Maybe if they opened up a pirate themed micro-brewery, I'd change my mind and give the place four or five stars!
