The Treasure Island (since 2003, also known as "ti") is a hotel and casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was built by Mirage Resorts when that company was owned by Steve Wynn, and it is currently owned by the successor corporation, MGM Mirage. It opened in 1993. It has 2,885 guest rooms.

The resort was originally intended to attract families with children. It included a large video arcade and featured staged pirate battles nightly in "Buccaneer Bay" in front of the casino. In 2003, however, it largely abandoned the pirate theme, as part of a decision to focus on young adults. The arcade was closed. The famous skull-and-crossbones sign at the Strip entrance was replaced by one reading simply "ti". In lieu of the pirate battle, the newly renamed "Sirens' Cove" is now the site of "The Sirens of TI". This free show is designed to appeal more to adults by including singing, dancing and attractive women, all of which were absent from the original show.

The TI is home to the Cirque Du Soleil production Mystère, which revolutionized Production shows on the Las Vegas strip and introduced Franco Dragone to The Strip.
