Las Vegas Treasure Island

(Our Hotel)

Treasure Island is a great hotel. We found many hotels in our wondering around where were huge and were completely "themed". Rather obvious from the name, that pirates, ships, treasure themes... were well overused.

 
This ENORMOUS sign is out front.

Their famous ship battle occurs out front about 5 time a day:
 
British on patrol stumble across a band of pirates who are admiring their stolen treasure. 
 
The British fire on the Pirate Ship after the Pirates refuse to act civilly. 
 
The British are hit by return fire from the Pirates. 
Both ships fire on each other a few times... 
 
Then the Brittish ship slowly sinks, and the Pirates are happy. 
The captain goes down with his ship until he (still standing erect) is completely submerged. Later when the ship comes back out of the water, the captain is still standing on the edge of his boat. He stays under for about two or three minutes, probably with a nearby scuba tank.
