Location: Paris Las Vegas vs Treasure Island Paris Las Vegas is located right smack dab in the center of the action on the Strip. In addition to its reputation for elegance, this prime location is one of the features that makes the resort so popular. You can simply walk out of the front doors and find yourself in the middle of the excitement and activity no matter what time of the day or night. https://youtu.be/uq9YUPx_QOk Take a walk through Treasure Island Hotel and Casino Treasure Island is not too far from this central location; however, it's about a 15 to 20-minute walk to reach Paris and the mid-Strip area. You can also take the free tram that runs from TI to the Mirage to help save some walking distance (especially during the day). Even though Treasure Island is not in the Strip’s most prime location, it's not that far away and there are still many popular resorts nearby if you want to stretch your legs and do some sightseeing.

Shows at Paris vs Treasure Island Both resorts are a bit lacking when it comes to in-house shows and entertainment compared to some of the other big-name hotels. At Paris Las Vegas, you can currently attend Anthony Cools’ comedy show, which is an adult-oriented mixture of raunchy humor and hypnotherapy--which is equal parts hilarious and odd all at once. Apart from that, you will have to make do with the stunning architecture and amazing resort amenities or head to one of the nearby casinos for more entertainment options. https://youtu.be/R6pRvnueztk See what Mystere by Cirque Du Soleil is all about! Treasure Island has a thriving nightlife scene with Gilley’s Saloon that combines an extensive menu and bar with a wild west theme that will make any evening spent here memorable. The headlining show at Treasure Island is Mystere by Cirque du Soleil. This acrobatic spectacle is the longest-running Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas. You will likely have more fun overall at Treasure Island; however, both resorts are about the same in this category. Pools: Treasure Island & Paris Las Vegas Both resorts feature one full-size pool. Although you only have one pool to choose from, the Soleil Pool at Paris Las Vegas is definitely more visually appealing with its elegant European theme. You can lounge poolside while staring up at the Eiffel Tower replica that stands over the Strip. The Soleil Pool at Paris Las Vegas The pool complex at Treasure Island is considerably more modest, although the pool does feature a live DJ that gives this pool a bit of a dayclub vibe. The TI pool area also features a 25-person capacity jacuzzi, which is big enough for you and all your new friends. Paris Las Vegas is certainly the better choice for those looking for an amazing pool experience. Paris and Treasure Island Nearby Attractions Paris Las Vegas has the iconic Eiffel Tower, which is a must-see attraction when in Las Vegas. You can either have dinner at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant which is on the 11th floor of the tower or head to the very top and check out the view of the Strip from the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck. Otherwise, at Paris, you are literally surrounded by some of the most iconic hotels and casinos on the Strip including the Bellagio (the fountains are right across the street from Paris), ARIA, The Cosmopolitan, Caesars Palace, and the list goes on. These are all within easy walking distance! Treasure Island never receives much attention in this category; however, the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. is an innovative on-site attraction that offers an interactive and informative tour of the Avengers franchise. Not to be missed if you're a Marvel fan! As I mentioned before, there is a free tram that will take you over to the Mirage, where in the evenings you can catch the Mirage Volcano erupting. Definitely something you'll want to see! Or you can take a 5-minute walk over to the nearby Fashion Show Mall where they host runway fashion shows every weekend. In the end, however, nothing comes close to the amazing view from the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck.
