The Treasure Island hotel is huge, we stayed there for three nights and had a fantastic time, as it epitomises the pristine squalor that Vegas is famous for.

Located on the Vegas strip, in the evening there are several spectacular outdoor performances which involve scantily-clad people dancing around, pyrotechnics and acrobatics. It was very entertaining.

Facilities include Kahunavilla, a fantastic bar/restaurant that gives out free shots every hour during a display of the bartender's cocktail-making skills. There's also Gillie's, a western-themed bar that employs very very friendly waitresses. There are other restaurants but I couldn't comment as we only went to these two places.

We had a standard room and it was very posh, the bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was covered in marble. The decor was quite restrained for vegas, unlike the casino where the decor is a deranged cacophony of clashing styles. I was a bit let down that TI had given up the pirate theme, because I quite like pirates.

Be careful in the casino - Vegas can and will destroy you through a combination of alcohol, boobs, guns and gambling
