History of Circus Circus
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.
How are 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.
What restaurants are 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!
Where is Circus Circus Located?
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.
Exclusive Tips for Circus Circus:
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.
Readers Who Added Circus Circus to their MyVegas Favorites
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

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.
