From Bingo Hall to Luxury Resort: See Treasure Island’s Latest Massive Upgrade

It’s wild to think that 42 years ago, Treasure Island opened as just a bingo hall in Welch, Minnesota. Fast forward to today, and it’s evolved into one of the top gaming and resort destinations in the entire Midwest.

T.I. isn't just a casino. They have an indoor water park, a bowling alley, they host concerts and comedy shows. They’ve become a true all-in-one destination for fun. Their latest move is a total reimagining of the Buffalo Tower. Take a look at the improvements below.

Treasure Island Resort and Casino Unveils Newly Remodeled Buffalo Tower

General Manager Mike Heavner says this project is all about "progress, pride, and a long-term commitment" to the guest experience. That’s been the theme in Welch for the last 15 years, from the addition of the Lagoon indoor water park and the Amphitheater to the Wave Spa.

But the Buffalo Tower holds a special place in the company's history. It was the very first hotel tower added back in 1995. The foundation remains the same, but everything else has been completely gutted and rebuilt from the inside out. Feedback was gathered from thousands of guests and used to redesign the rooms to be exactly how people wanted them.

The Buffalo Tower is located near the gaming floor, Wave Spa, and the Lagoon indoor water park. It's estimated that 120,000 guests will stay in the Buffalo Tower this year and it's clear that they'll enjoy a more modern and more luxurious experience.
