About this audio guide
This guide to Treasure Island in Las Vegas opens on a single night in October 1993, when Steve Wynn set off a cannon on his new pirate ship at the exact moment the old Dunes hotel across the street was dynamited into dust. It follows the free pirate spectacle Wynn built here, staged more than sixteen thousand times in the lagoon in front of you, and the very different show that replaced it in 2003 when the resort's owners bet Las Vegas wanted something else. Listen for how the hotel quietly shortened its own name along the way.
