Treasure Island TI Las Vegas Hotel officially became part of Handwritten Collection this week, bringing Accor into one of the world's most prominent gambling and entertainment markets for the first time. The 2,884-room resort is now the largest property in Accor's global network and represents a significant expansion for the Paris-based hospitality company across the Americas.

Handwritten Collection, Accor's portfolio of independent-minded hotels launched in 2023, now encompasses more than 50 properties across 20 countries. The brand positions each hotel as a distinct entity with its own history and character, while providing access to Accor's distribution infrastructure and ALL Accor loyalty program. The addition of Treasure Island signals Accor's strategy to acquire established, iconic properties rather than build from the ground up in major markets.

Treasure Island opened in 1993 and is built around a pirate-themed concept featuring full-scale replicas of 17th-century ships in a lagoon at the property's entrance—one of the Las Vegas Strip's most recognizable visual landmarks. The hotel operates the long-running Cirque du Soleil production Mystère, which has completed more than 13,600 performances with a satisfaction rate near 95 percent. The resort offers 2,884 rooms and suites with views of the Strip and surrounding mountains, a 24-hour casino, sports betting area, spa facilities, and multiple dining venues including Phil's Steak House, Gilley's BBQ, and restaurants scheduled to open in 2027.

The property's location provides direct pedestrian access to Fashion Show Las Vegas and the Grand Canal Shoppes, which house over 400 brand stores and specialty boutiques. Accor highlighted the resort's convention infrastructure as appealing to corporate clients alongside leisure travelers. Mauro Rial, Chief Operating Officer for Accor North & Hispanic Americas, stated that the hotel "will retain the distinctive character and identity that have shaped its story for more than three decades" while joining Accor's ecosystem.

Treasure Island holds Four Green Globes certification from the Green Building Initiative and operates programs focused on energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste recycling. The hotel also maintains a community partnership with Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada, a nonprofit providing free medical, dental, and mental health services to low-income residents. Room rates begin at US$69 per night, with loyalty members earning points through the ALL Accor program.

The acquisition underscores Accor's effort to establish a portfolio of established properties across competitive markets, trading the capital intensity of new construction for the brand equity and cash flow of mature, recognizable assets.
