Has anyone played at Treasure Island in Vegas?
 

I will be there for 5 days in July and was wondering what you guys thought of the action. Has anyone had any luck with comps(ie free meals, discounted rooms) and if so how long did you play and what limits did you play?

It's a small room, but attractive in a modern kind of way (where Caesars and Venetian are light and airy, and Monte Carlo and Wynn are warm and clubby, TI is more dark and nightclub).

Very much a small stakes kind of room.

If you can get the 3/6 Mixed game to go, you will have a blast.

os,

I played three tourneys there the weekend of May 18-20. The room looks nice, drink service is very good, and it seems to be well managed but is in a weird location behind the main casino near the shops (convenient for tram to Mirage tho.) It's a fairly small (10 tables) low stakes room with $2-4 limit, $1-2 NL, and a $3-6 limit mixed game that they got going on Saturday night but not Friday or Sunday.

The tourneys were fun, well run and a decent value for <$100 ($60 buy-in + $5 add-on) . The players were mostly pretty bad and it didn't become a pushfest for awhile due to no antes. Friday night's 7pm had 44 runners, I finished 3rd of 50 in Saturday's 10pm for $466, and Sunday at 10pm we only got 14 players.

A friend of mine played $2/4 limit for awhile and seemed like the typical $2/4 game, not too crazy but loose-passive calling stations everywhere. Friday and Sat nights the room was full but Sunday had one tourney table and one $2-4 game after about 7pm. I'm guessing mid-week is similar to Sun.

good luck.

I played three tournaments there. Chopped 1/2 in the first two and went out on the bubble in the third, so I'm a TI fan. (My bf and I chopped the second.)

Didn't get comps, etc., so can't help you there.

As stated, it's a smaller, darker room with only about nine tables. Half naked ladies on some of the tables (in the felt, not on it). Very attractive servers, and I'm a woman and noticed, so they must be OK. Service was a little slow, but not bad (maybe because I'm a woman, but I tipped well).

Dealers were good and played in the tourneys. My bf played in a few cash 1/2NL games one of the days, and it was a bit loose. A few friends were there together and they got some fun games going.

I play there almost exclusively.

It only has 8 tables, but the action is often incredible at the 1/3NL game. It has a $500 max, just like Caesars, but it is almost always all tourists, as TI strictly a tourist room, really.

Most buy in for $100-300. Very few buy in for the max, which I like (I always buy max, and instantly cover the table most of the time).

It plays like an entry level 2/5 game. Opening raises are usually the standard $10-15.

For comps, it is the most generous in the city, next to IP.

They give $2 per hour on the MGM Mirage card, no max, and it can be used in ALL of their restaurants (everything from Starbucks to the Steak House).

Thanks for the info Michael.

michael..you have to get a mirage card? TI doesn't have their own?

how do you play those tourists? bet big with the nuts?

Re: Has anyone played at Treasure Island in Vegas?
 

It is an MGM Mirage card. It is the same card that all MGM Mirage properties use (but not amm MGM properties give poker comps on the card, like Bellagio/Mirage).

You do not need to get the card ahead of time. They will make you one in the poker room. Just ask the dealer when you sit down at the table, and the floor will make one for you. They swipe at the table itself, like MGM.

The staff is phenomenal. In fact, I have played in every poker room in Las Vegas, and can honestly say that it is the most friendly and customer oriented staff I have EVER seen. Chris, Danette, and Troy run a very tight ship there.
