The still-free performance at Las Vegas Treasure Island featured a different pirate theme – this time a little more silly and frisky, which brought the dismay of some who lamented the performance wasn’t as family-friendly as it used to be. Right on the tail of the Battle of Buccaneer Bay came the second rendition of the pirate-themed TI show, which was called Sirens of TI. This famous free show with a pirate theme came to an end in 2003. Cannons blasted, ships sunk, and British Captain Mark Steelsmith went down for the count each and every time – only to be cheered by the crowd when he reappeared for the next show. The theatrical shenanigans as the British prepare for battle against the pirate was a scene to behold. The plot of the show features British sailors in a battle against renegade pirates. The sheer size and majesty of the show, plus the theatrics and the show’s pirate pyrotechnics, wowed the audience every time for thousands of shows.
The original pirate show was known for being this massive, family-friendly free attraction with hundreds of spectators gathered, their high-tech camcorders in hand, for each of the several nightly shows.
The first show came with Treasure Island’s opening in October of 1993 and ran for a decade, calling it quits in 2003. The original pirate show at Treasure Island was called the Battle of Buccaneer Bay.
