Accor has gone all-in in Las Vegas with the addiiton of Treasure Island to its Handwritten Collection. The 2,884-key resort becomes the French lodging giant’s largest hotel globally.
The announcement was made in partnership with businessman and casino owner Phil Ruffin, with the hotel set to be operated under a franchise agreement and officially debut later this year.
“Treasure Island has long held a special place in the story of Las Vegas, and I am certain that Accor and Handwritten Collection will further enrich its legacy and attract new generations of guests and visitors,” said Ruffin. “This next chapter brings new energy to the resort while preserving its unmistakable spirit. We are proud to align with Accor – a global leader in hospitality whose values resonate deeply with ours, and we look forward to a successful and long-lasting partnership.”
Treasure Island overlooks the Las Vegas Strip and Sphere Las Vegas, offering views of the city and the Spring Mountains. A recent multimillion-dollar refresh introduced updated design elements, new guest amenities and improved energy efficiency. The hotel has received Four Green Globes® certification from the Green Building Initiative for upgrades in energy and water use, indoor air quality and resource management.
“The city’s tagline is ‘What happens here, only happens here,” and certainly, there is no other place in the world where a collaboration of this scale and significance could come together. The union of Treasure Island and Handwritten Collection creates a one-of-a-kind guest journey, where connections are treasured, wonder is discovered, and every stay is a narrative waiting to unfold,” said Camil Yazbeck, global chief development officer, Accor. “We are incredibly proud to partner with Mr. Ruffin and confident that together we can create a bigger and bolder future for this iconic hotel now that it sits within the Handwritten Collection portfolio and part of the Accor network.”
The resort includes 10 dining venues and eight lounges and bars, among them Phil’s Steak House, Golden Circle Sports Bar and Gilley’s Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Que. The Oleksandra Spa & Salon and 90,000 square feet of casino and gaming space round out the property’s offerings. It is also home to Mystère, Cirque du Soleil’s original Las Vegas production.
“We are thrilled to bring Accor to Las Vegas and to provide our ALL Accor members and guests here in the United States, as well as those visiting from around the globe, with an incredible opportunity to stay at this emblematic property – now the largest Accor hotel in the world,” said Thomas Dubaere, CEO PM&E, Accor Americas. “The addition of Treasure Island – TI Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, Handwritten Collection is a milestone achievement, not only for our Handwritten Collection portfolio, but for Accor’s growing presence of exclusively selected properties in the U.S. market.”
