Most of the Las Vegas Casino Resorts have an attraction to draw crowds in. For example, the Volcano at the Mirage, the Fountains of Bellagio, the Fall of Atlantis at Caesars Forum Shops or the Circus Show at Circus Circus.
In 1991, Wynn announced plans to create an extension of The Mirags; a Resort and Casino to be known as Treasure Island.
On October 27, 1993 canon fire signified the opening and birth of the $430 million, 2,891 room Treasure Island Hotel Resort and Casino.
Treasure Island opened offering a free family show with the HMS Britannia sailing around the corner at Skull Point to confront pirates from the Hispañiola. They ordered the pirates to surrender, the pirates refused and defended their ship in a swashbuckling battle.
In 2003, the show was rewritten (loosely based off of Homer's "Odyssey") targeting a more adult audience and called the Sirens of TI. This show entailed a group of sensual and tempting sirens engaging with a band of pirates led by the infamous Blackbeard.
On October 20, 2013, the show was halted for what was said to be a temporary closure until December 26, during construction of retail space.
But this week, Treasure Island announced that the closure was permanent.
