Accor, in partnership with businessman and casino owner Phil Ruffin, have added the iconic Las Vegas staple, Treasure Island to its portfolio. The 2,884-key Treasure Island – TI Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, Handwritten Collection becomes Accor’s largest hotel in the world and its first property in Las Vegas.
To be operated under a franchise agreement with Accor when it officially debuts later this year, Treasure Island – TI Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, Handwritten Collection becomes the second Handwritten Collection address in the United States, following Hotel Stratford San Francisco - Handwritten Collection last year. The signing increases Accor’s presence in the Americas region, with more than 550 hotels now open.
“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,” 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 franchise partnership between Accor and Treasure Island includes Handwritten Collection brand support, along with Accor’s services, including sales and marketing, distribution and loyalty.
“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, owner of Treasure Island – TI Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. “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.”
As the newest entrant to Handwritten Collection, Treasure Island – TI Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, Handwritten Collection joins over 25 hotels now open and more than 35 addresses in the pipeline. Handwritten Collection properties weave character and personality into the guest experience, making every stay unique, according to the company.
The hotel recently underwent a multi-million-dollar refresh, blending contemporary comfort with thoughtful design elements. A breezy, sociable lobby overlooks a tropical pool, where intuitive self-check-in is complemented by a 24-hour guest relations team ready to offer a warm welcome. The resort features 10 diverse dining venues and eight upscale lounges and bars, including beloved options such as Phil’s Steak House, Golden Circle Sports Bar, and the popular Gilley’s Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Que.
Aligning with Accor's sustainability commitments, the hotel was awarded a Four Green Globes® certification by the Green Building Initiative. The certification reflects meaningful improvements in energy and water efficiency, air quality and resource management – further aligning the hotel with conscientious travelers.
“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.”
