Although, "experience" might not be quite the right word. Sure, the rooms were all gussied up and they sported newish decor and furniture but the amenities left a lot to be desired. As we wrote on <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/story/2009/6/30/16523/6990/vegas-travel/Not_Much_Treasure_To_Be_Found_at_Treasure_Island">VegasChatter</a>:<blockquote>Nothing too fanciful here, just modern furnishings and fixtures and a view of the Trump Tower out the back of the hotel. However, the walls were pretty thin as we could hear nearly everything in the hallway and in the rooms next door. Plus, we could hear a bit of the freeway noise as our

Las Vegas: The View From Treasure Island Ain't So Shabby

We kicked off the week impressed by the renovated rooms at Treasure Island in Las Vegas, everyone's favorite stop for sexy pirates and their wenches. But it turns out that not only do the rooms look good at T.I., the strip view is pretty nice too.

Hotel Maven Dan S. sent us in his room view shot from last December. With room rates ranging from $119 to $190 on the weekends, this isn't such a bad deal anymore. It might even push TI over the edge from Breaking Even on our Viva Las Vegas Map to High Roller. And c'mon, EVERYONE loves the pirates and wenches show that takes place outside.

Suffice it to say that we just about stunned ourselves when we were like, "dayum, T.I. is lookin' kinda sexy" &#151 and for the first time, uh, ever, we were talking about the old Vegas hotel and not the hip-hop artist. But seriously: the rooms are lookin' kinda hott, right?
