The strip is the most famous part of Vegas, this is where all the action happens.
Some of the major hotels place themselves just off the strip.
The old Vegas still has lots going on, especially on Fremont Street.
On the southwest corner of Spring Mountain and Las Vegas Blvd, sharing property with the Mirage directly next door and across from the Fashion show mall TI enjoys one of the best locations in town. In addition there is a free tram between Mirage and TI and a bridge for pedestrians to the Fashion show located on the other side of Spring Mountain. A few years ago Treasure Island grew up. She went through a complete modernization, replaced their Disney-esc Arg! Arg! pirates with a sexy Siren show, added a bunch of “hip” restaurants and night spots, and renamed them self TI. The Sirens of TI is one of the favorite free shows on the Strip and can be seen every 90 minutes after dark right outside of the TI front entrance. It features sexy sirens naturally.
Along with a new name and entertainment and a redesign of the exterior came an upgrade to the room accommodations. Generally rated well the rooms are spacious with floor to ceiling windows in many offering an amazing view of the Strip. TI is home of one of Vegas’s favorite bars, closed a couple of years ago at their location further north on the Strip, Gilley’s Saloon, Dance Hal & BBQ reopened in TI and is more lively than ever with visitors and locals alike. They have a slew of restaurants and bars catering to a younger crowd.
TI is a four star hotel by most ratings, and that is a pretty accurate assessment most agree. It is actually the sister site of the Mirage, and gets much of the Mirage overflow in busy seasons and holidays. That said, TI appeals to a slightly younger party crowd and is in most instances less expensive. Booking in advance is a must during any busy holiday or summer weekend. Due to the location it may fill during specific large conventions so call ahead.

TI is a very large hotel with 2,885 rooms 220 of which are suites. The rooms are modern, well kept, and many feature an excellent view with floor to ceiling windows. Most agree that for the price the rooms are very large as well, and generally the hotel is rated by visitors moderately well.
TI is priced just about average by Strip standards, and it should be noted the services and accommodations are above average most would agree, so in that sense it is a good deal. Also on that particular intersection TI is by a good measure the least expensive place to stay, eat, and gamble. Rates vary by occupancy and any special events in Las Vegas. Gambling limits are average, also varying by the clientele. There are a range of restaurants, also fairly priced.
