Capitalizing "The"

If there is a place with a "the" in the title, is "the" capitalized when the place is talked about? For example:

We are going to The Tiger's Tail.

Thanks.

Okay, thank you. Now let me ask you this: What if the name is then put in a title. For example:

Wagging the Tiger's Tail.

In that case, should "the" be lowercase, even though the name of the place is still being referred to, this time in a title? I ask because Wagging The Tiger's Tail looks strange to me.

Thanks.
