Girly Chat took a few days vacation last week and visited Las Vegas, Nevada. Although this was not my first trip to Las Vegas, it was my first visit to Treasure Island Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. We paid a little more and got a Strip view room, which really was worth the money as the sun went down and the lights came up in Vegas!
Overall, I thought that Treasure Island was good value for money – when compared to its neighbors on the Strip. However, nothing in Las Vegas is cheap, so you have to be prepared to pay more than you would normally for anything elsewhere – including coffee and icecream!
We also took in a show – Cirque du Soliel – Mystere – which was conveniently situated at Treasure Island (another reason why we chose to stay there). I’ll review that in my next article, but in the meantime here’s my review of Treasure Island: 
Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, also known as “TI”, is situated on the famous Las Vegas Strip in the the city of Las Vegas, Nevada. The hotel and casino were built in 1993 but underwent a major renovation in 2003 to make the hotel more “adult-friendly”; bars, nightclubs, shows and other amenities were added with adults in mind.
Treasure Island is located next door to the Mirage hotel and a free tram service connects the two hotels providing easy access to more restaurants, bars and a shopping mall. Across the road, the Venetian and Palazzo hotels complete with huge shopping malls, are also easily accessible from Treasure Island by a pedestrian bridge.
