A view of construction at Treasure Island Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012. The location will be the site of a Senor Frog's restaurant and bar. The chain also has locations in Cancun, St. Thomas and Puerto Rico.
Treasure Island is about two months away from completing work on a new Senor Frog's restaurant and bar under construction at the resort, a spokeswoman for the resort said.
The spokeswoman, Michelle Knoll, said work was under way to replace Christian Audigier The Nightclub and Khotan Asian Bistro, both closed since last year, with Senor Frog’s. The restaurant is expected to open sometime in April and will employ 200 to 250 employees.
Elsewhere, Treasure Island’s entire 18,000-square-foot convention space and ballrooms will get a facelift sometime this summer.
Mystère by Cirque du Soleil, a production at Treasure Island, also is undergoing some changes. Guest seats have been replaced and are now slightly larger, and the final high bar act, the show’s ending, will become a trapeze act.
Construction on the trapeze shut down the production for a couple of weeks, and it will resume Feb. 11.
Although construction is visible from the Strip, resort officials the work will not disrupt "The Sirens of TI" centerpiece in the lagoon outside Treasure Island.
