Nightlife Near Treasure Island
Treasure Island — known locally as TI — is the mid-Strip hotel that gives you Venetian-level nightlife access at significantly lower room rates. There is no on-property nightclub, but Tao Nightclub and Tao Beach at The Venetian are a 5-minute walk through the connecting tram or pedestrian bridge. TI sits directly adjacent to The Venetian, which means the same nightlife corridor that costs $300/night at The Venetian costs $120-$200/night at Treasure Island.
The hotel occupies the north-center Strip with views of the Wynn and Venetian towers. Rooms are clean 4-star quality, the pool is tropical and uncrowded, and the casino floor has a more relaxed energy than the mega-resorts. For couples or groups that want serious nightlife access without the serious price tag, TI is the value play.
Tao: Your 5-Minute Nightclub
Tao Nightclub at The Venetian is essentially Treasure Island's nightclub. The 5-minute walk takes you through the connecting area between the two properties — shorter than the walk from many hotel rooms to on-property venues at mega-resorts like MGM Grand. Tao operates Thursday through Saturday with a mix of hip-hop, open format, and special event nights in its Asian-inspired multi-room layout.
Tao Beach is the daytime counterpart — a dayclub on The Venetian's rooftop with DJ sets, a pool, and cabana service. Same 5-minute walk from TI. Between Tao Nightclub and Tao Beach, you have day-and-night coverage from a single venue family without ever stepping into a car.

Pre-Game Dining
Gilley's Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Que is Treasure Island's standout pre-game spot — a country-western-themed restaurant and bar with live music, mechanical bull riding, and strong drinks. It is a party venue disguised as a restaurant and doubles as a warm-up before heading to the clubs. Phil's Italian Steakhouse is the upscale option for a proper dinner with excellent pasta and steaks in a classic Vegas atmosphere.
For quick bites, TI's food court handles the basics. The Venetian's Restaurant Row is a 5-minute walk and adds Grand Lux Cafe, Buddy V's Ristorante, and a dozen other options if your group wants more variety.
