Circus Circus Hotel and Casino

Service is great. Our bellman who took our bags from the room to our car at check out a great guy. I didn't get his name but he said he'd been working there for 40 years. As far as the rooms, you get what you pay for. The age and patina show, but their clean. The location is on the north end of the strip and that makes it easy on traffic. The place opened in 1968 and even though much has been updated, nothing has been removed. It's very cool to see old stuff that's been covered up and not in use anymore. The carousel bar is an excellent example. If you have young kids with you, this is the place. There is plenty of stuff for them to do.

Not the best resort by any means, but for the price, it was well worth it, and I would stay again. Food wise has some of the better prices compared to other resorts. Can easily walk to other resorts as well. The adventure park was fun and worth the money, not great for tall people but still fun. The only downside is that there are a ton of children, but the place is meant to be family friendly (to some degree), and we were expecting this. I wish there was a fridge or microwave, but not the end of the world. Our room had an amazing view of the sphere which was cool at night.

We had a great time. The room was priced decent. My only complaint would be we reserved a room. We are disabled and the room they reserved for us was far away from parking. We needed something closer. They did that but it was about double the price. The food was crazy expensive. But other than that the employee's were great the atmosphere was fun.

This was a large parking lot turned into a paved campground with full hookups. Gates were kept locked after hours but phone was available to get gate code if you forgot it or it wouldn't work. Some sites had parts missing like one water facet instead of two. They quickly assigned a different site. When you check in, there is a small room with two quiost and one phone. You had to use the machines and if it didn't give you a receipt and gate keys (cards) you have to go into the hotel to finish the registration process. Be prepared to walk or rent a scooter. It does have to be returned inside. It was on the strip. Buffet was not open during the week so we went to The Winn seafood buffet with prime rib and lots of choices and to the Italian restaurant Allegra. No outside cooking at campground. Would stay again if in a travel trailer.

Never stay at this place they are disgusting l. It will take you three hours to find your room staff is unwilling to help or tell how to get to your room all they do is try and hustle you out of more money the room s smell the hallways are so hot and elevators are hot and filthy and carpet is coming up from ground making you trip and fall down no room service buffet was closed down so was steakhouse and they didn't offer any a amenities no maid service after being there for a week we had no towels no t.p. no soaps we had to go get our own and they offer no microwave in rooms rooms wallpaper are peeling off bathrooms are disgusting and has mold all over the walls we asked to be reimbursed cause we want to stay somewhere else and it was refused and since we paid online we didn't have a choice but to stay there . We hated every minute of our stay with circus circus and would never stay there again and wouldn't suggest anyone stay there if u want to have a good time in Las Vegas this is not the place for you

We stayed in the west tower. The room was decent. There were stray hairs in the bathroom that didn't belong to us. We paid for a fridge the fridge did not work. We requested an extra pillow but they said only 3 pillows are allowed for the king size bed. Everything is self service for check in and check out. There are extremely annoying sales people who are dressed professionally and try to get you a deal for stuff you don't want. Everytime we entered and exited the hotel they tried to sell us something. We had to avoid eye contact. The room was not bad despite not having pillows or blankets. The TV has cable no paid channels like most hotels.

The beds and pillows are comfortable, air conditioning quiet and effective and rooms large and clean. Able to check in after 2pm without a fee. On third morning the dog barking next door woke us up at 6am and later that day the front desk staff let us move to a new room to avoid that problem. Front desk staff very nice and helpful. No daily maid service, maybe you have to request it. But we were very happy with our stay.

For being one of the oldest hotels and casino on the strip is was nice. Free parking for 4 days is a huge bonus. The renovations on the elevators to get to the rooms was a little bit of an inconvenience but nothing to bad. Not having enough mats for the water slide was also a small inconvenience. The free circus acts in the midway were cool for the kids. Overall our stay was very pleasant.

My kids enjoyed the arcade and rides. It was worth the experience. The midway had a free show.

This review is strictly for the midway. I have been coming here ever since I was really young so it's been 30 plus years since I've been coming here. It's been awhile since I've been here and I happen to be staying not too far from here so I decided to walk over. I'm here in the middle of the week so it was fairly dead and it wasn't as crowded so it was still fun to play all the Midway games. The system is different now where you pay for a card that you load money on and then you swipe them at the games. For me the best reference is that it is like a Dave & busters or an arcade. You get extra credits if you spend $30 and more and there are different tiers they have. They have these machines all over the Midway area here on the second floor. Nothing much has changed other than there are a few more arcades here. It was fun for nostalgia reasons to be able to come. The games range in price per play and sometimes there are deals if you pay for more plays. I didn't win as many prizes as I would have liked but I left with a hamburger squishmallow. This place is so nostalgic for me so hopefully it stays around for years to come.

Family outing and must stop by when visiting to Vegas 3rd generation back Grandchildren had so much fun Got a lot of prizes More cuter and more anime cartoonish prizes

Service is great. Our bellman who took our bags from the room to our car at check out a great guy. I didn't get his name but he said he'd been working there for 40 years. As far as the rooms, you get what you pay for. The age and patina show, but they're clean. The location is on the north end of the strip and that makes it easy on traffic.

Went here two days ago and there are some good and some bad.. things I disliked.. super far from everything on the strip, felt very Smokey inside even though it's mostly for kids, somewhat unclean and closed at 10 which is pretty early.. Things I liked.. tons to do for kids, the amusement park rides in the summer were discounted to $30 a person for unlimited rides, I felt like the tickets for the games lasted us a pretty long time and the fair games that you win stuffed animals by playing you almost always win a tiny stuffy with.. over all my kids had a good time and it was nice to have a place to take them.

The Circus Circus is a relatively budget hotel, and you get what you pay for. It's located near the north end of the strip, and convenient to navigate to most of restaurants and attractions. Their facilities are fairly old and room conditions aren't very good, not my favorite, although it's still a family friendly and cost efficient place to stay.

Didn't stay at this hotel, but went to visit it and had some fun. All the staff were very nice and friendly. You can see it's a tad dated, but I recommend at least a visit if you have kids. It's located right on the strip. They have different circus acts to watch. The slime making room looked super cool. The midway arcade area is absolutely massive with all of the old school and new school games. I felt like a kid again with the carnival games. Of course there's a huge casino... sadly I didn't win any money off the slots. but didn't play long. The icee land has delicious slurpees! They have a large food court with Burger King, Popeyes and all the popular fast food chains. They also had a lot of stores with good souvenirs that weren't too pricey. There's also a wedding chapel and tattoo parlor on site. I hear they have a huge buffet, but I didn't have a chance to try.

Amazing time. There's a parking garage with free parking and a short walk to the arcade and games area; past the casino. There are live performance what seemed like every hour and we got to see a trapeze and clown performance for free which was awesome! The arcade games are plentiful and easy to get some small prizes for the kids.

I stayed in the Skyrise Tower on the 23rd floor. The room was great, but everything else was like trying to find something on a large cruise ship. The self parking garages have very tight spaces, but it's free. Once I got to the hotel lobby for check-in, I was surprised to find about 15 kiosks with one employee answering questions and assisting. When my kiosk assigned my room, it flashed it briefly, then produced my room key. The employee had to look up my reservation and write my room# on a piece of paper. THEN she produced a map and began explaining how I would get to my room. Take this elevator to the 2nd floor, then walk all the way around past all the rides and shops to locate the elevators for the Skyrise Tower. They could use customer input on improving that experience. All in all, it was worth the low rate they charge.

So the circus circus I can go on and on. I absolutely love this cool fun gaming interactive for the whole family hotel/casino/arcade/inside adventure dome. Even if not staying with kids so much fun . The arcade was fun we won a lot of things from the claw machine. Ate popcorn a little pricey but fair. It was good for the price. Seen circus shows every hour they do them free of charge as long as your there and catch them. I played in the casino won some money. I had a great time free parking . Must check out even if not staying here. They have a section where it's just coin play it was not my thing but we check it out and kept some coins worth a dollar because they have the circus circus design as a souvenir

I know Circus Circus gets a bad rep, but honestly--for what you're paying, I love it compared to other hotels on the Strip. I stay here every time I come to Vegas because let's face it--you're really just in the room to sleep. The perks? Free parking (and plenty of it), clean rooms, and working AC every time I've stayed. Yes, there are some downsides: no fridge in the room unless you pay extra, the elevators can be slow with long lines, and there's no fancy hotel bar like other Vegas spots. It's also a bit farther from the main action on the Strip. But for the price--and $5 or $10 blackjack tables--you really can't beat it. It's budget-friendly, reliable, and perfect if you just need a place to crash between adventures.

The bartender Shania I'm pretty sure her name was Shania the real pretty lady with a really pretty white Silver hair. Oh my God she is the best tender bar I've ever had. Circus Circus is so underrated! Don't sleep on this place. They even have like the old-school slots where you play with tokens. I didn't hit the jackpot this time but I know it's coming we will be back. -love from San Diego! -Richelle

I'm so glad it's still standing lol this is a great place if you wanna feel like a kid again! LOL we love the arcade here. It's great fun for the kids. Today it wasn't crowded and we pretty much played all the games. I wasn't leaving w/o a Hello Kitty stuffed animal nor w/o all the Wonka cards-IYKYK. Oh and the cleanest br I've been in since my plane landed. IJS

Wow so for my birthday dinner - my boyfriend took me to the steakhouse heard the food was amazing and unfortunately it failed. The only great thing was the crab cakes. We ordered riveted on bone medium and it was very tough and presentation was nice but I wanted taste at that price to be sensational! Ordered mac and cheese for the kids and it was so bland. Waiter replaced with mashed potatoes-ok The asparagus and rice pilaf had no flavor and rubbery the baked potato was so hard. Only plus was the cheesecake we ended up eating at home. I enjoyed the service by our waiter however the food was not exceptional

The room was petty run down & grungy. The bed dips & sinks unevenly. A spider bit me the first night. Booked Mandalay Bay the next night haha. I've attached pics so you get a feel for the vibe. Easy & fast self check in & out via kiosks. Lamp switch wasn't working unless you plug it in or out. Not a repeat.

Circus Circus really had its golden days back in the 80s and 90s. It used to feel like a real circus experience, not just a theme. The live trapeze acts right in the middle of the casino, the neon lights, and the loud, playful midway games made it so unique especially for families. It was one of the few places in Vegas where kids and adults could both have fun. I wish they'd bring back more of that old Vegas charm daily circus performances, fun energy, and family-friendly fun at affordable prices. Vegas has changed a lot, but Circus Circus could shine again if it focused on what made it special back then.

The shittiest hotel in the world would still outclass this place and I once stayed in a room where the sticky carpet undulated with every step. THERE. IS. BLOOD. EVERYWHERE. I'm not adding pics but believe me, if you look, there it will be. The aircon doesn't work, there is dust and grime everywhere and despite being "offered" the pool closes early and there is no fridge in the room. I'm not exactly sure what needs to be changed besides, like, everything but the lobby smells, the Casino smells, our room smells (like super cheap cologne) and MY PILLOW SMELLS. BAD. IDC if you have to save up more, do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else.

I am extremely upset and disappointed and honestly ruined my trip. I came to Circus Circus with my family with husband and my two kids. Yesterday there was a kid yelling down the hallway cause the parents kicked him out the little boy said they hit him and did not want him to come back inside cause he was not listening - not once did security come up and see what was going instead multiple ppl including myself came out to see what was going on and making sure he was okay ... so then this morning.... We got a noise complain at 8 AM . I asked if they had the correct room because there was a boy yelling they said yes said that we had to keep it down I was so upset cause we had just got up The security said we were not in trouble, but if he had to come back and stayed silent I did not like that at all... the worst hotel to stay at with kids. Keep in mind there was no running -jumping this was just them being kids.... isn't this supposed to be a family hotel? WORST HOTEL EVER!!!!!

Here again for a convention. Hotel prices this week are crazy and elect to stay here at a place that has rooms at $25 normally. For $25 a night, I could see the lack of care or services of their guests, but prices that are five times that amount, I would expect that after being their for four days and three calls to housekeeping they would have taken care of servicing... nope on our last night they finally brought towels and toiletries. We were put in a "newly renovated" room... they removed the sticky carpet and put in vinyl flooring.... That's it.

Alan and Office Team, I cannot thank you enough for making my daughter feel so special! She is so happy to bring home the dog stuffed animal. She had lost one from young childhood that had helped her get through some trauma and this one is a very close replica. It brought her to tears of happiness. Thank you again! Pam My dad used to take me here as a kid and it was so much fun taking my kids here for the first time to keep the memories alive with the same games! We will be back again for sure.

I haven't stepped foot into CCircus in maybe 20 yrs to be honest. I came w an out of town Vegas visitor bc I told here it probably wont be here for much longer. We got a players card and both won a stuffed animal at one of the horse racing old school games. We caught a couple short acrobat act/balancing clown type act. It was pretty dead inside but mainly parents w some kids etc. Went over into the "Slots of Fun" old school coin operated slot machined but we both lost so we left lol. Overall it just felt old and misty and we prob washed our hands 7x in an hour bc even the slot coins turned ur hands dirty. It was an experience but I wont be rushing to go back for any reason. The staff were nice and hooked us up w one of each color tier empty blank players card so we could collect and frame it for memorabilia.

If you think the casinos are the biggest gamble in Vegas, think again. Circus Circus is the real con. They'll gut your wallet faster than a rigged slot machine, all while treating you like an inconvenience instead of a paying guest. I booked this room through Hotels.com, and let me be clear: Hotels.com was perfect. From the moment this nightmare started, they were understanding, fast, helpful, and kind. They fought for me, communicated clearly, and treated me with more respect and professionalism than the entire Circus Circus staff combined. I will continue to book with them for life. Circus Circus? Not a chance in hell. Despite having a receipt in hand that showed all charges, they tacked on hidden, hard-to-find resort fees and upcharges that weren't disclosed clearly anywhere. When my husband arrived to check in after flying in from California, they refused to help him. No flexibility. No grace. Just cold indifference. Even worse, I called ahead to ask about the final cost. You know what they told me? "We don't know ‍‍‍" Yes. Really. No clarity. No answers. Just shoulder shrugs and a wall of silence. When I called to speak to the manager, I was treated like garbage. The front desk manager was the rudest I've encountered in decades of travel. No respect, no professionalism, and definitely no customer service skills. Even the phone rep was snippy and dismissive. I've stayed in everything from 5-star resorts to roadside motels and have never been treated this poorly. It was genuinely shocking. They ended up kicking my husband out rather than owning up to their own shady pricing tactics. After paying $400-$500 for what was supposed to be a basic stay for a convention nearby, we were left scrambling. But here's the twist, I booked him a room down the street at the Bungalow Hostel for just $15 a night, and it was incredible. Warm, clean, welcoming, and filled with people who actually know how to treat guests like human beings. Cookouts. Charcuterie boards. Gumbo. Friendly faces. A real sense of community, something Circus Circus clearly hasn't seen in decades. So let's break this down: * Circus Circus charges you for rollercoasters, waterparks, and resort "perks" you never asked for or used. * They lie by omission, refuse to clarify pricing, and treat their guests like trash. * Meanwhile, a $15 hostel delivers better food, cleaner rooms, and genuine hospitality. Circus Circus should be ashamed. Their staff lacks empathy, their policies are deceptive, and their management should be retrained, or replaced entirely. Final Advice: Skip the scam. Book through Hotels.com (they're amazing), and stay literally anywhere else, especially the Bungalow Hostel. Because in Vegas, you expect to lose money at the tables... not at check-in.

Great improv date night with bf. Spent about $50 and 2 hours of entertainment. We played multiple games our favorite is the horse racing carnival game. We had so much fun with about 8 other people at the game. We played ddr, skee ball, basket ball, and many more. We also watched a few circus acts. We are so sad to see circus circus go, so many fun family memeories when we were younger.

It's just a really fun place for kids and families. We all had a really good time playing games, and watching the acrobats. The employees engaged really well with the kids. We spend about 1.5 hours there and they can't wait to go back again.

I was directed to Kevin, the event coordinator, for a non-event-related issue, and he went above and beyond to help me--even though it wasn't within his usual scope of work. After connecting me with the right team, he lit up with joy talking about his love for Circus Circus, which dates back to his own childhood. We reminisced about what the hotel used to look like when it first opened--the circus tent vibe, and how the fountain that's now indoors used to sit proudly out front. Kevin has a natural gift for providing top-notch customer service and genuinely loves what he does. I grew up visiting Circus Circus and recently got to share that experience with my daughter. The Adventure Dome was even cooler than I remembered, and everyone we encountered was incredibly accommodating. Thank you, Kevin--and thank you, Circus Circus--for helping create such a memorable experience. This isn't a luxury property--it's a place built for kids, and it completely lived up to the magic I remembered. Before leaving a negative review about things being "gross" or "sticky," keep in mind: it's for kids... and kids are a little sticky! Also--the free circus acts? So good!! Thank you again!!!

This is a hotel. It's really catered to parents with children, which is an overall good fit. However, the casino is pretty ran down the inside just what you would expect. If you were in a traveling circus that came to your local neighborhood. What are the cool attractions they have is a free circus circus show every 30 minutes to keep the little ones entertained. Circus Circus was originally owned by Jay Sarno and Stanley Mallin. Explaining the casino's double name, Sarno said, "At first I planned a Roman circus motif, but changed my mind and decided to build a circus like we are all familiar with - instead of a Roman circus, it's a circus circus. "A circus-themed casino was a departure from Sarno's previous Las Vegas resort, the luxurious Caesars Palace. Sarno called Circus Circus "the most exciting project of my life".

If you're looking to bring out the kid in yourself, this is the place to be!!! This hotel and casino is so fun and super old fashion!!! There are slots in a section of the hotel still that still accepts coins to bet with! How cool is that and if you win the coins come out from the slot NO TICKET!! It's fun and old school!! Been here 35 years ago and its changed but not a lot! From games like carnival games, to shows, to food places this casino will take you back. Not only does it have all this it also has a theme park inside with roller coasters and rides! Great place to take the kids!

This place is really bad. Really really bad. The service is so awful, every single employee I spoke to the entire time was so rude and condescending-- specifically in the check-in area. The whole hotel stinks like feet and sweat and death. The rooms are mid at best-- nothing rly super wrong with them but they're just not good at all. Spend the extra $10 and go literally anywhere but here. You'll have a much better time. The pools were wack too, looked dirty out there and overall bad vibes here.

I came to the Casino after 11pm. I first walked into Slots of Fun first from the bus stop. I was at Sahara first. At the slots at the West bar, the waitress comes quicker since it's a smaller section. I also wanted to look at the menu of the Steakhouse. The hotel has a bad reputation of dirty Rooms in there the Manor, Dirty elevators in the Towers and awful breakfast Buffet. I came for their cheap Lunch buffet and it was edible. I have not returned to eat at the buffet. Their 24 Hr Deli has cheap food for $7.77, or burgers and a variety of sandwiches for more. There are pancakes, breakfast sandwiches. They have increased their menu since 2020 or even from 3 yrs ago. You can find fast food options in their new Food Court. Free Circus acts, Water slide and Adventuredome. This place is geared for families. Locals came Xmas of 2020 and it was crowded. At Slots of Fun, you can play Qtr machines with coins. I saw a group of people singing Karaoke by the back too. Hot Dogs and Popcorn are $2. There are new bowling games in front. The arcade is up in the Midway.

It's rough around the edges and resort fees are ridiculous for internet that barely works or a fitness center no one uses. Room is on par with most Choice hotels (like a Clarion or Comfort Inn) but it's on the strip and priced accordingly. Bathroom was clean and bed had a new looking mattress encasement. The HVAC is embarrassing but works. The new automated check in is actually decent and parking is still free (and just as gross as it's been for ages.) That said, it's not the worst big hotel (looking at you Rio) nor is it the worst casino. It's actually got some charm and the arcade is fun. Actually nice having an area that's not a smoky casino. It's also the only casino hotel left with a reasonable pet fee. One note, stay in the west tower and a low floor. Getting to high floors is awful (elevators are poor even with some renovations) and if you stay in the casino tower the two elevator thing is absurd. Would I stay here normally? Probably not, but for one night it was totally fine and cost was reasonable. Influencers love to go on YouTube and ridicule this place but they have no idea what a really bad hotel is.

Disgusting Experience!! Our sheets were never changed there was blood on the sheets and blankets!! So gross how can you not change the bed sheets!! Blood and mascara smeared all over so disgusting!! Imagine that!! Our grandkids & daughter were on the bed laying there when we noticed all that disgusting color on the white sheets!! Wow!! Nasty!! Everyone be carful with this hotel!!

This is a pretty fun place to gamble, I liked the casino $3 games which are pretty easy to find. They even have some $1 games like roulette or blackjack if you look carefully or get lucky at the right time when it's not too busy. The midway games are also a big draw, if you prefer the carnival fun. The circus acts were just OK. I saw an older guy doing magic tricks which seemed like a warm up act, but nothing to spend too much time watching. Avoid the Slots O Fun in my opinion, as it was fairly run down but they did have some interesting coin slots. Circus Circus also has free parking with no time limits which is also great.

We didn't stay at the hotel, but we watched a circus show. Upstairs is also the arcade and game area with a ton of stuff for kids to do (did not have the kids with us though). The games have higher quality prizes than you normally find at an arcade and some are really easy to win. The casino area had a lot of slots. It's a bit of an older place, but it's got a lot going for it and it's set back just off the strip.

They have gotten rid of people at their check in counters and have used machines to automate check ins. What a mess! It was incredible frustrating and half the people checking in were having issues. Our check in took over half an hour. The guy who was at the automated machines were directing people to machines but wasn't much help if there was a problem. Then we were directed to wait for a person to help us in the end anyways. We were finally helped by a very overworked but nice lady named Anna. Rooms are updated and large but could be cleaner. There was dirt behind side tables and under chair. Stains and dried mystery things on wallpaper in the bath room. The hallways need a good vacuum too. Prices for rooms are deceptively cheap but there's a $40 resort fee. The only thing good about the hotel is that it's on the strip and there's a monorail nearby if you don't want to Uber. I suggest parking at the hotel and ubering around. Other hotels charge for parking at the same price or more than uber.

Awful experience it smelled like many people died there and rotten cheese and when we got to the room, there was blood on one of the pillows a closet, which one of the lights wouldn't turn off, and the closet wouldn't close and in the bathroom. It looked like someone had punched the door and broke the wood, and they didn't even care to fix it. It smelled like rotten popcorn in the lobby. They tried to give us money vouchers that we didn't want and wouldn't leave us alone. Well also treating us very badly. There was an arcade and a man who performed on a ladder, but his performance wasn't even impressive. The roller coasters were cool, but it was still a very bad hotel.

Total rip off!!! Went to game area som won a toy out of the claw machine after $20 of trying. The box that came out was empty. My son was pissed. I spoke w the manager, he said there's nothing I can do. I spent $20 on games, ended up w a very upset kid and a box. It's time to just demo the place. It really sucks.

Pros: - was $70 after fees per night for a room - free circus shows daily - indoor amusement park - big carnival games and arcade area - FREE PARKING Cons: - no refrigerator - hotel is on the older side - reeks of cigarettes. The smell is available at all casinos but I feel ambivalent about it being right next to the kid friendly arcade area - housekeeping will not clean room unless asked to (this was new to me but might be common in Vegas?) - food options are limited onsite. At the hotel there is a food court with burger king and a McDonald's nearby. Inside there is a buffet but the quality seemed low for $30 something. - you may have to walk around or take more than one elevator to get to your room. - room pricing was confusing. In summary, paid a deposit on the room via an online hotel booking service and was informed to pay the remainder at the hotel. However, at the hotel, they charged slightly more than the remaining quote and noted that the extra cost was a resort fee of some sort that will be refunded after the stay... So I'm glad I was eventually going to pay what I was quoted, but I definitely expected better transparency on this process. If this was on one of the fine prints during booking, my bad not catching it, but when it comes to money, I think both the hotel and online booking service are responsible for making it obvious to the consumer to be aware of the "cost" or the cost of withholding any money temporarily. Some other notes: There weren't much loitering people near the hotel during my stay, but the area wasn't the nicest/cleanest. Service was okay; u do have to check in and out on kiosks, but usually there's staff, who most likely will be busy, stationed nearby to help. As far as I know, this hotel doesn't have much offering in terms of helping guests with tourism or shows. Mostly bigger on what they have to offer onsite (casino, games, amusement, shops, etc.) Overall, the vibe here feels like it's either for an older crowd or families with kids. We stayed here because it was the cheapest place (considering free parking too) in Vegas and I'm certain other guests feel the same. And it should be your biggest reason to choose here too. But all the amenities shouldn't be an issue if you're mostly looking for a place to crash.

This hotel is dog friendly right in the middle of the strip. They allowed our little guy anywhere in the casino- he did a great job! The rooms are clean and well maintained on the 2nd floor (we were there for Battlebots and it was perfect and close). They had a special "relief" area for the dogs and helped us with our crates andvluggage!

When my Stay was: April 2024 Price: Priceline about $20/night(plus resort fee) Overall thoughts: stay somewhere else in Vegas. Even though it's cheap, you can get better deals for better quality. But this hotel isn't terrible. I've stayed at over 20 hotels in Vegas. This one wasn't the worst. But not the top 10. CLEANLINESS- Each guests deserve a clean stay. This hotel was smoky even in the rooms. For a 'nonsmoking room' it seemed smelly of cigarettes. The room itself was clean. But around the hallways there was trash on the floor, mold in the bathrooms, and weird smells. Keep in mind the hotel offers no shampoo or even soap to wash your hands. SERVICE & HOSPITALITY- One aspect of a great experience at an establishment is the service of the staff. At this location, the staff checked us in easily. I had no issues with check in nor the staff. They were all friendly. They showed us how to get to the water park slides and gave us a map. SAFETY- If you have a family, you know safety is number one. My input on safety in this location is honestly not the best area of the strip. If you are a woman, don't walk alone at night outside this hotel. I got honked at and catcalled multiple times. Take uber. If you are by yourself stay near MGM grand/New York area of Vegas. RESTAURANT AND OTHER HOTEL SERVICES- During your stay if you are interested in eating here, I'd recommend not eating here. Someone mentioned they got sick. The waterpark is fun if you have kids. As a 26 year old woman, I still enjoyed the water slides and spend my whole day outside there. BANG FOR YOUR BUCK? Is this too expensive for the quality of the stay? It's work the price. However I'd recommend somewhere else. EXTRA NOTES: the casino is average. Waterpark is fun. Don't walk alone at night.

Circus Circus is great for entertainment if you have kids or if you just like to play carnival games and like amusement parks. The place has typically been family focused but it won't be a good fit for everyone. Circus Circus is right next to Resorts World so you can also stay over there and bring your family to Circus Circus for entertainment. PROS Lots of games for the kids Amusement park Cheaper overall Free parking McDonalds next door Resorts World next door CONS Parking garage isn't that clean Older property

We did not stay at the hotel. We ventured in to enjoy the show and the kid zone. Be prepared to be around a lot of families with kids, kids with kids, and more kids. So don't trip! Adults can be kids too. So much to do to connect with your inner child and your competitive spirit. So much laughter!

My boyfriend and I took an impulsive last minute trip to Vegas and luckily they had a room available at 3am. We only needed to sleep as we were staying for the day basically. For the pricing and the fact it was last minute was not too bad. We were able to get help from someone at front desk (we didn't get her name). She was kind and very helpful. However the cleanliness of the room was halfway decent, the towels seemed a little dirty almost "dusty" and when we wanted to hop in the shower we found a toothbrush left over in there. Cleanliness would need to improve in my opinion. Overall for a last minute short trip it was not terrible and could be worse.

Great breakfast and lunch options. Be aware of the .time.share.sellers but it would be great if you need and extra 200 to spend for food if you have a couple of hours to spare. FYI they won't bring you back, you have to UBER. They will pay for it as well. The clubhouse sandwich was amazing at the 777 spot .

My wife made the reservation for me and my son for a soccer tournament and when we showed up we were told that the room booked is part of a different building across the street, not connected to the main Circus Circus Hotel. We had no idea there are different buildings.. maybe this is something that can be added to the marketing suggestion. The heat was 105 degrees so having to walk all across it was a pretty challenging task but thankfully we travel with our neighbors and their kids for same tournament so was few of us helping each other. I like that they have few different options of food and a food court like at the mall with different varieties so that helps especially when visiting with kids. Everyone was very kind room was great, just hoping if we do decide to come back here in the future they will offer a shuttle to and from the buildings not connected with the main hotel. Otherwise thank you staff for all you do!

Parking was a nightmare. Only rooftop spots available and check-in kiosks kept failing so staff had to scramble to get us a room. Our 16th-floor "standard" king had the tiniest TV I've seen in Vegas, no fridge, grimy headboard, musty bathroom with cracked tiles, and a shower that never fully shut off. The casino floor was smoky, outdated, and half-closed for repairs. Even the carpets were sticky. In reality it's actually a 1.5-hour walk to the Strip. To top it off, our car was broken into in their supposedly "secure" lot and the front desk couldn't have cared less. They did nothing to try and make the situation right. Avoid unless you enjoy filth, chaos, and zero security.

This resort is really showing its age! No personnel at the lobby registration desk as they have moved to using kiosks. Guests do not receive a map or directions to their room. Our room is in the manor which is outside the casino -hotel. We were not informed of this and spent a good 30 minutes plus trying to find our room. Went to the bell hop and they informed us. Signage is very poor. And I found the food options to be limited.

I had a mixed experience at Circus Circus. immediately upon walking in, it does appear a bit dated, with interior fixtures looking outdated but not dirty or broken, just kind of old. I enjoyed some of the stores on the main floor of the hotel, including a Sanrio store with a bunch of cute Hello Kitty stuff. The reason I came to the hotel was for a friend's wedding, and it's worth noting that the chapel inside, called The Hitching Post, is actually very nice and they had a very cute wedding there. The negatives come down to there being much fewer food options at the hotel, and the quality of the room itself. Our room was a "refurbished" room but it lacked some things like the ability to control the temperature of the air conditioner, which sucked because it was extraordinarily hot when we went (over 110 at the peak of the day). We were also only given 3 pillows for the bed, a king bed for two of us, and the pillows were really flat and thin, squishing down right away and providing no support. I tried to call the front desk for more pillows and after working my way up a phone tree (couldn't even directly call the front desk, had to go down a phone tree first), I was told they didn't have any more pillows. So sleeping was hard without adequate support and I was left feeling like I should have brought my own pillow. Circus Circus was a decent budget choice for this trip, but I wouldn't anticipate staying there next time. It could be good for families with kids or if you don't mind being essentially at one end of the strip.

For all of the elitist complaining, I love the Circus Circus (as well as the Reno property of the same name but now different ownership) for exactly what it is and always has been. Its a flash-back to old-school Vegas, and for all the motorsports activity that the old owners Bill Bennett and Bill Pennington did back in the 70s, 80s and 90s, I'll still support Circus Circus, even if ownership has changed hands multiple times since then. If you want to go flush a week's worth of salary staying at Aria or Bellagio or Caesars, have at it. But I just needed a clean bed to sleep in for a night. I have paid FAR more for a FAR worse experience at any given Best Western or Hampton Inn. The recently refurbished room in the Skyrise Tower was clean, quiet and comfortable. The wallpaper was a bit dated and the bathroom accommodations felt a bit dated...but I was not there to camp out in the room and bask in elegance. I paid $24 for a mid-week room, and even with the excessive resort fee tacked on it was still walk-away for less than $100. Parking was free. If you want the Strip Experience, go ahead...walk the Strip, partake in all the lures of Sin City, and then come back to sleep at the Circus. Even with kids running around it wasn't bad at all, and I dropped my cursory donation playing the old-school coin stuff at Slots A Fun. Given a choice I'll stay at the Circus again, and I hope if its sold by Ruffin that the new buyer develops and updates the same theme. It deserves to be honored that way.

Believe the reviews! This place is terrible. Early checkin fee $28$ or 40% of hotel rate for 1.5 hours early for a room already cleaned, empty and ready to go?!?! Resort Fee -35$ For What?! No tram to other tower anymore like the old days, no pool, no hot tub, no security, tower open to super sketchy street people. Never Again! We were scared for our lived at night walking all the way from main casino tower to our tower. Leave it to Caesars to ruin yet another property by their super greedy corporate business practices. All they care about is their bottom line. They ruined the strip in Vegas and now they are taking over and ruining Reno! Unbelievable!
