Circus Circus - The Real Deal :

We've had a good time and great luck playing at the Circus Circus... their blackjack tables have proven to be pretty beatable to us (not huge wins, but steady wins.) Thankfully they keep the children out of the gaming areas. Make sure you score one of those Fun Books for match play at blackjack. They're giving money away and you should grab some of it.




Circus Circus History

Circus-Circus was the first of the Family Resorts that spawned the family destination marketing campaign and build up in the 1990s. Its Midway gaming area, Acrobat shows, AdventureDome rollercoaster rides, ever-present clowns and a Krispy Kreme shop to keep kids occupied... parents can gamble away downstairs.

Most often overheard phrase at Circus-Circus: "Kids, here's a roll of quarters and a key to the room... i'll see you in a coupla days." Or maybe that was just me.

"This is what the whole world would be like if the Nazis had won the war" - Hunter S. Thompson.


Location of Circus Circus:

Circus Circus is at the north end of the strip, currently surrounded by projects under construction or about to be imploded. Be sure to check out Slots-O-Fun next door for some cheap slot action.

Cool Stuff About Circus Circus:

The 'launch a chicken into the pot' game up on the midway is a favorite of ours. They just replaced the rubber mallets with these plastic things so my game is a little off.

The New Rooms at Circus Circus


The Rooms at Circus Circus

The New Rooms at Circus Circus - renovations beginning summer 2008. The older rooms are quite funky and well... worn. There is a lodge way out back and an RV campground that has free wifi internet access too. We couldn't hook our Mac up to it when we tried, but hopefully you'll have better luck. The parking garage is massive as is the purple AdventureDome monstrosity in the back.


Restaurants at Circus Circus

After all of our complaining, Circus Circus has upgraded most all of their eats. Gone is the Pink Pony cafe, which really got scary towards the end of its life. Now they've got Mexitalia X-Press to feed their large latino clientele from California, Garden Grill, Circus Buffet (gag), and a bunch of smaller quick eats joints.

In the last 5 years the service and the food has gone into the shit can, it's good to see that they're upgrading some of the offerings, but we still are uneasy recommend dining at the Circus Circus. The Steakhouse at Circus Circus is one exception, it's actually got great food and excellent service - a diamond in the rough!


Circus Circus Tips

They call it Circus Circus for a reason. Highwire acts, midway games (we love the Chicken Launcher game) gambling, all the great stuff Vegas has to offer. Circus-Circus has a latino dance club too "Luna Y Sol" in case you need to shake your horchata.

As Hunter. S Thompson said, "The Circus Circus is what the whole hep world would be doing on a Saturday night if the Nazi's had won the war"
A must Visit for any Fear and Loathing fan.. The best part of it all (besides the buttload of video and carnavial games) Is the Carasauel Bar up stairs..I recommend you go there (after midnight to avoid the herds and herds of little people, and no I dont mean midgets) with a friend and drink till the point of complete intoxication then one of you kick the other off of the spinning bar.. And If your REALLY ballsy asks the cocktail waitress "How much do they pay you to fuck that polar bear?".
DO it no just for yourself but for the late great Hunter S. Thompson...
My only dissapointment is that the casino workers ARE NOT dressed like carnies :(

I visited this property and was not impressed at all i thought the layout and direction was horrible. we were there just to meet up with a family friend who resides in vegas and we stopped off and ate at mcd's and the service sucked as did the food i wouldn't reccomend this place to any one. the casino was very cluttered and dark and smelled like an old ashtray was sitting in front of your face the whole time and the staff was not very freindly in giving direction to different parts of the property and had no sense of direction.. the only thing that i liked was the canyon blaster coaster at the adventure dome

Be afraid of the clown. He's one of those creepy clowns.

Where do I begin. I went here to get a drink at the carousel bar. My friend and I got a Dewar's on the rocks and I guess we should have asked to hold the flies. Yep, there were flies inside the bottle. The carousel bar is on the midway level so it was fun to watch the kids wait for their mothers seats to circle around so they could get more money.

circus circus is a great place to stay if you are on a budget. sure it's nothing fancy but in vegas a hotel room is just a place to sleep at and to keep your shit at while you go have fun.
