It's already begun but it's not a demolition, most of the setting will stay the same..........they're just trying to drag it out and make it sound like a big dramatic makeover. Basically still a pirate-like show with sexy women instead of pirates. And they're spending millions just to change the name of the place to "TI" on all the signs etc. I guess they wanna stop paying the fee that they owe the Robert Louis Stevenson estate every year or something.

I heard from an employee that works there in the casino that the show (or women) will be called the Sirens and production looks pretty good. hope to see it when I go in October.

Also, the name change is to "promote" a new image ... Las Vegas is going back to an "adult" and not "family" image.

Praise god...The ONE place I know of that does not (or didn't USED to) cater to 1 million strollers.

If they really wanted to promote a new 'adult' image, they'd rename the hotel "T & A" not "T I "

Sirens will apparently start on Oct 26.

Too bad, I'll be in Vegas on Oct 13th!

Actually, the pirates will still be there, but the British Navy is being replaced with the sexy Sirens.

I was there in May and the local news channels covered the auditions for the Sirens. It definitely will be a more adult-focused show...
