Treasure Island sinks Pirate Show

I remember reading something similar but wasn't able to find the exact quote. As I recall he basically said it was a mistake to make the fountains that didn't require people to enter the property to view them and that is why when he built Wynn the main attraction was viewable only from the inside. I think it may have gone a little further than that, implying that these attractions should focus mainly on paying customers, which may be why the Wynn show has very limited viewing options.
To quote Rick Perry; oops...

Didn't realize this carried over to page 2 since after hitting "post" it just returned me to page 1. But at least I figured it out after try 2, hence this edited post.
Years ago, Phil Ruffin bought the Frontier and totally ruined the place. When he bought TI, I predicted he'd ruin it, too. I was right. The man is scum.
I don't remember the Trop having an aerial show. Sure you aren't thinking of the RIO?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

The Tropicana used to have live music and some type of an aerial show with gymnasts , etc. I remember going there every time we came to town to visit the Comedy Stop At The Trop. Saw some great comedians there.

Are you sure you are not talking about Circus Circus? They used to have live circus acts.
MotownBob is correct. Trop used to have a free aerial show w acrobats in the vicinity of where the arched leaded glass ceiling is/was.

As I recall there was a pulley on a rail that ran over the top of the slot machines. One acrobat had his hand thru a strap that was attached to the pulley and the other acrobat held on to his other hand. They would slide back and forth over the slot machines doing various tricks. This would have been around 2005 - 2007 when I saw them.

Yes infact the Trop did have a free show in the middle of the casino floor. It lasted about 15 min. and was pretty cool. When my wife and I flew in to Vegas we always took the trek down to the Trop to see a show and dropped some money there after the show.

I've seen the aerial show at Trop. It did exist. It did.
