If you’re looking for a room on the Las Vegas Strip that offers a lot of value and competitive prices, Treasure Island will always make the list. Sandwiched between the Mirage and Fashion Show Mall shopping center, the 2,800-room TI (as it’s also known) opened in October 1993.
But if you’re reading this, you’re likely wondering about the sportsbook experience at Treasure Island. Welp, you came to the right place because we’re reviewing the Treasure Island sportsbook here — and we’re pulling no punches. Just our honest thoughts on the recently renovated gambling establishment.
The sportsbook is officially called the Golden Circle Sportsbook & Bar. That’s because the sportsbook shares space with a restaurant and sports bar. Some bettors like the shared experience, others prefer privacy away from non-sports bettors — only you can say what you prefer.
Anyways, the sportsbook was relaunched in 2020 with new improvements. It spans 12,000 square feet and can host more than 750 people — far more than the 150 it previously did.
This sportsbook is “par for the course” with seats with individual monitors, allowing guests to choose what game or race they want to watch. Massive TV screens dominate the main wall at the front of the book, too.
The actual sportsbook is operated by William Hill, which replaced Treasure Island’s proprietary sportsbook and app, which was sunset in 2020. William Hill is now owned by Caesars, but still operates under its own branding. It gets the job done for the sportsbook. These days, betting lines across the platforms are usually the same anyway.
The William Hill app was recently rebuilt. A new update completely changed the app — for the better. We’re big fans of the mobile betting experience, which can be taken to other states where William Hill is licensed too.
As for catching a game in-person at the book, unless it’s a major sporting event, this is not a busy spot. Visitors will place bets on the money line, point spread, over/under totals, futures, parlays, and props. Wagering on horse racing and dog racing is also available.
Guests can earn points for their bets by joining Treasure Island’s Sporting Club, which in turn can be used for comps. If you bet a ticket and leave Las Vegas, and the ticket turns out to be a winner, you still have 120 days to mail it back to Treasure Island to collect your winnings.
One thing we forgot to mention: you have to register for the William Hill app in person at Treasure Island or another William Hill property. This is a Nevada rule — not specific to William Hill, but all betting apps. For bettors that want an online experience without that hassle, there are many other online options like Bovada, BetUS, and BetOnline.
