Sirens Cove at Treasure Island has been drained nearly dry as maintenance is being done in the hotel’s famed lagoon.<\/p>\n

We figured it was time to check on the progress.<\/p>\n

Land ho! And, no, we have no idea what \"ho\" means in this context.<\/a>

As a result of the construction and maintenance, the free, hugely popular “Siren’s of TI” show will be closed through Dec. 30, 2013.<\/p>\n

\"Construction<\/a>
Don’t panic. Construction has not affected the liver damage taking place nightly at Senor Frog’s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Big chunks of Sirens Cove are being removed to accommodate a new three-story shopping complex at TI.<\/p>\n

The shopping area is set to be completed in the fall of 2014, and will be at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard South and Spring Mountain Road.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>
This area can’t be photographed due to tight security and tall construction walls. (Do you know this blog at all?)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first tenant announced for TI’s new shopping space is CVS pharmacy. Because if you’re going to miss out on seeing scantily-clad young women dancing in their pirate underwear, it had better be because you’re building a pharmacy.<\/p>\n

Having the lagoon drained provides a fascinating look at the inner workings of the “Sirens of TI” show, as much of it’s typically under water.<\/p>\n

For example, to make way for the shopping center, the track that guides one of the pirate ships is being shortened.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>
This ship’s journey will soon be shorter to make room for a 46,000-square-foot mall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Also exposed are underwater caves and wood pilings.<\/p>\n

\"Yes,<\/a>
Yes, there’s an echo. Yes, there’s an echo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are also thousands of coins tossed into the lagoon for good luck, now more exposed than the midriffs of the Sirens.<\/p>\n

\"We'd<\/a>
We’d be happy to pick those up for you, TI.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Construction hasn’t caused much disruption to the flow of pedestrian traffic in and out of the hotel, thankfully.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Cool hidden door. Time to call in the Goonies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oh, and while shopping is fine, Treasure Island, we’d like our Sirens back soon<\/a>, please, thanks.<\/p>\n
