Sirens of TI Review

TI Sirens Fun Facts
  • Kenny Ortega, the man behind Sirens of TI, is also the Emmy award-winning director and creator of the 'tween favorite, "High School Musical."
  • 1.5 million: Number of gallons of reverse-osmosis filtered reclaimed hotel gray water in the Sirens' Cove. The water is mostly 10 feet deep, with a 25-foot-deep high-dive stunt pit.
  • The Sirens' Cove contains a 40,000-plus watt sound system with speakers located throughout.
  • Flame effects consume seven gallons of liquid propane per show.
  • The pirates' ship is 88 feet long, weighs 135,000 pounds and sinks four times nightly.
 

Sizzling dance moves. Dashing sword fights. A pirate held captive. These are just a few of the elements you'll see at Sirens of TI.

The 18-minute production -- which combines a phenomenal set, risky high dives and beautiful temptresses -- is free and open to the public. When Treasure Island (TI) decided to revamp its original pirate show, the Battle of Buccaneer Bay, they wanted to turn it into something a little more sultry.

Kenny Ortega, the visionary behind Sirens of TI, had the perfect idea in mind.

"TI's desire to include women in the production set me sailing to the Greek mythology of Homer's 'Odyssey,'" Ortega said. "With the enormous size of the theater and the enormous space between, a pop opera seemed like a good idea -- something that was accessible to a young Vegas crowd that was upbeat, sexy and interactive.

"The show is light and whimsical," he continued. "Very appropriate for street theater."

Many of the female dancers (better known as "sirens") have various backgrounds including ballet, tap, jazz and even opera. But it takes more than a pretty face, a svelte figure and stellar talent to rock the show. The sirens also execute a dangerous sword fight.

"The show requires a tremendous amount of talent and skill from our cast," Ortega said.

The pirates also have impressive resumes with backgrounds in aerial stunts, acrobatics and professional diving. During auditions, each pirate had to pass a vigorous swim test. Divers also take a risk each night by jumping off of high, slippery platforms -- all while the ship is sinking.

The pirates excite the crowd so much, that they elicit all sorts of bizarre reactions. Some have even gone as far as jumping in the water to join the pirates. Funny moments also happen on the performers' end. While the sirens can sing, dance, sword fight and look great all at the same time, there are occasional mishaps such as losing a hair piece. 

The set includes building facades and two pirate ships. In addition to the burst of flames, the fireworks finale makes it seem like New Year's Eve every night. 

Combining stunning choreography, a movie-type set and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds, it's no surprise the Sirens of TI show has garnered so much attention. TI had the right idea.
