The Midway

Still Awesome After All These Years! I hadn’t been back to the Midway Arcade at Circus Circus in years, and it was such a pleasant surprise to see it’s still as fun, lively, and catered towards family and kids as I remembered. The arcade games are way more interesting than other arcades I’ve been to lately — they actually have Dance Dance Revolution, plus games like Transformers and the Rabbids shooter, which I’ve not seen anywhere else. Prices are very reasonable too, especially compared to other arcades that overcharge these days, and to everything sterile and devoid of life MGM has transformed Vegas into. This felt like the old Vegas I remember and love, and gives me a reason to come back to this city.

You need to focus on your management you got going on manger plays favoritism lets people break the rules and only gives verbal warnings to people she doesn’t seem to favorite. And what’s sad is that you can’t even say anything without the manager backing them up I’ve seen one of the girls there for pm shift MAYLENIE AYALA bring her boyfriends to play games and she plays them to. Ridiculous I’ve seen this happen a few months ago and I’m not sure if she’s done it again. Shame on you Alan for not looking into none of this or bothering to care when I know you’ve heard something related to this before.

I’d give the Midway three stars. The arcade is actually pretty fun, with lots of games that kids will love. But there’s a strong smell of cigarettes coming from the casino, which is hard to escape because the ceilings are low and the ventilation isn’t great. The circus show was a little weird—the timing and coordination felt off and made it kind of awkward. Still, I’d recommend the arcade and the show if you have little ones with you. They’ll definitely have a blast, even if it’s not perfect. Just be prepared for the smoky air if you’re sensitive to smells. And while the show isn’t top-notch, it’s still a unique experience that kids will remember.

Kids had a fun day at the Midway Circus. The carnival games were great and it was so easy to win prizes which gave them the ‘satisfaction’ they’d won something. I love that once you pay for the card, you can use credits on everything (not like some arcades where carnival games and VR rides are extra). It’s obvious that the ‘credits’ for each game probably adds up to well over the actual value of the toy they win, but regardless it’s a brilliant set-up allowing them to enjoy winning. We bought the $100 card, which gave an additional 135 credit and spent hours in there. We also watched the wonderful free acts when they came on, which can be seen from almost every viewpoint in the arcade. A great day out and we came home with over 10 plushies / prizes! The only few cons were, it’s a bit far north of the strip and in a kind of dodgy derelict area so you need to get a taxi there and back. It looks a bit dated (this didn’t bother us) and absolutely no wifi at all, so we had to walk over to McDonald’s next door to catch a Lyft (where we saw a man who looked high and walking on all fours around the entrance!)

Don't come here during the day or it will just depress you. When there's not a lot of here to bring the energy up, it feels like a horror film set in an old arcade. The games are your standard Country Fair games designed to drain your money. The worst part is how much each play costs, roughly $2. For that price, you would have a better time at the Casino. If they lower the price so we could play more, there probably would be more people there.

I had great memories of Circus Circus as a kid, and now so does my kid. We don’t know what the amount is for the cards, but we thought we were getting 120 credits, but ended up with 660 for $60. Pleasantly surprised considering we thought we were getting significantly less. Only complaint is the smoke because it’s not ventilated well and the casino is right below in an open concept. I don’t remember as a kid how it was. Possibly the same. We didn’t watch any acts. Current at least 2 hours playing and walking around.

Games are extremely overpriced. Bought the $100 dollar card and it was gone after about 12 or so games. Prizes are cute, but cheap and not worth it. Circus acts were slow and not as entertaining as they could be. However, my biggest complaint is the lack of accessibility. No elevators to the midway area so only accessible way in was a very steep twisting ramp that my wife had trouble navigating in her scooter.

My husband I absolutely love this place. This is the best arcade in all of Las Vegas and the best value and the most games you cannot beat it!
