The Sirens of Treasure Island

I admit it, I was the idiot in our group who said "Hey! let's see the pirate show at Treasure Island! It's free, so surely it'll be worth seeing!" When am I going to learn?
The "sirens" said things like "C'mon girls, let's rock this house". The dialogue continued in this vein, and at one point, I'm pretty sure the pirate ship captain and the sirens were arguing over how much closet space a woman needed. This was about when we left.
Look, I understand the need to see scantily-clad dancers on a trip to Vegas. I was disappointed not to have been able to fit in a burlesque review during my trip. This show was NOT a good alternative - it was sleazy without being sexy, the dancing was awful, the singing was dubbed in, and the show itself was just...well, stupid. The only redeeming factor was the pyrotechnics, but even those weren't enough.
Save your time, save your brain cells. Don't see this show!
Still intrigued? You're one of those folks who won't believe it until they've tried it? Go ahead, but be prepared for my "I told you so". The shows are free, and are performed nightly in front of Treasure Island. Look for the big crowd and the equally large pirate ships - you can't miss 'em. Get there 20-30 minutes before the show in order to get a good spot (I recommend the viewing deck along the street side of the sidewalk). Shows start at 5:30, 7:00, 8:30, and 10.

Another must-see is the pirate show at Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. This is another free attraction in Las Vegas that is definitely worth your time. You can visit the Treasure Island Casino in the day and see all of the pirate ships. However, every night from 6pm to 8pm, they have a light and smoke show. It is absolutely wonderful. You see the pirate ship lights, colored smoke, and sirens fill the area. It is a great show, a must-see. However, I do recommend that if you have small children, you hold them tightly, because at some points in the show, it is hard to see your surroundings. But it is usually safe in that area. Otherwise, it's fantastic.

Treasure Island is a very nice hotel and casino. It's very clean and very family-friendly. But the best thing to do is to watch the pirate battle outside of the hotel nightly. Two ships go at it, with live actors and lots of special effects. But make sure you get there early to get a good place to watch it. Crowds gather really early, but the show plays every hour on the hour. This is also a great place to play at!

Treasure Island Exteriors

Of the many casino exteriors, Treasure Island does an amazing job of presenting another world and defying the nature of what goes on beyond the wall. The level of detail is fantastic and it's worth the time spent to check out the entire set. It's essentially an outdoor performance space, though as a piece of sculpture it works on a different level. It's what many kids grew up wishing was in their back yard!
