text: There was a time many years ago when I thought Treasure Island was great...not anymore. It's just another hotel/casino now. Since we don't gamble and only go to attend reunions and to see shows, going to the casino is not our number choice of activity. But we have to go through it to go from one activity to another.  What an awful experience -- the casino area looked so dirty. Some slot machines were placed on what should have been walking paths. Very confusing set-up.\n\nOur room was decent enough -- glad they switched to crisp white linens. And we had a view. Would have loved to have had a coffee maker, though. Such a little thing but would have gone a long way to appreciating this place. \n\nAte at the Coffee Shop --- surly wait staff. Tried the buffet. So-so meal. Couldn't find anything I could rave about. The fish was dry. The lobster ravioli was tasteless. Sauce wasn't great.  Tried other things, but couldn't get excited about the choices.\n\nWent around to other casinos and can see a huge difference between first class and second rate. Sadly, TI falls in the latter category. As they say, you get what you pay for.
