    Who doesn't love a good circus? On my most recent trip to Vegas, I decided to walk around this hotel on The Strip for a bit on a week day afternoon. My main purpose? I heard that they have daily circus shows for free. As I walked around to enquire about the event, I found out that during the off-season (it was February), they don't always do daily shows. I was out of luck unfortunately. While a bummer, I explored the hotel a bit. It's so-so. Compared to other hotels on The Strip, this one seems pretty outdated and average. The type of old school casinos where a cloud of smoke follows you everywhere you go. There are some cool things though. Circus-themed architecture. A large cut-out of Elvis. Etc. I don't think staying here would be the most pleasant of stays, but I'm sure it's more affordably priced than other options. It's on one end of the strip close to the Stratosphere. Wish I had been able to check out the free show!

    Mr. Ruffin has now decided to bring back vintage Vegas Prices with $2 hot dogs, shrimp cocktails, Heiniken, popcorn and $5 table games! Customers who are value sensitive will love it here. No matter where you're staying in Vegas, you should make your way here to enjoy the vintage pricing. Thank me later.

    Came to specifically play Bingo. Been meaning to get here the last few months since Bingo went live here. Finally made it. They have the old school paper only and dauber bingo only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday. Only cash is accepted for purchase of Bingo cards. The Bingo room is located upstairs just past the Adventure Dome. $30 for the 1st pack which includes 3 drink tickets. Alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are available. They have hot dogs for purchase. Daubers for sale $2 and up. Overall decent Bingo session. I may come back again at some point.

    Let's win that prize !!!

    That old tune, "the song that remains the same!" You can come here when you're a child and it's the same dance . Same song ! We are reliving the moment where we all met. When I was a little kid again. The demise of the Circus is coming! Remember when come and spend an extra hour of your day to make this not happen as fast . Vegas is changing and with the birth of new hotels this one is going to come to an end. We went old school Vegas. We played at the last slot machine in Vegas that takes coins . Wow and actually won! Celebrate the past to leave it here and move into the future. The midway upstairs is still fun ! The games are in great condition. You can still loose your self for a time and land on your feet being a kid again. Come and see old Vegas that warm feeling before it's gine

    I love this place but if I'm telling the truth it's fun here the promotions are great the stuff great but the pillows and linens need to be thrown in the trash and they need to be updated!! I used to only stay here on my birthday, which is in February but lately I've been coming more because the promotions have been so good. And now the more that I stay, I've been noticing the quality of my bedding and I get these disgusting black spots on my pillows when I wake up or when I get out of the shower and I looked it up on Google and it seems as though this can be mold or mildew it creeps me out and disgusts me to the point where I bring my own pillows and covers or even trash bags to place over the pillows. I'm not sure if everyone is having this problem but almost every room I've stayed and I've noticed the same thing. I hate to leave a bad review because I truly do enjoy coming to this property and the workers there, but this needs to be addressed immediately. The images posted are 3 different stays ... like i said im not 100% sure its mold but im 10000% grossed out

    I chose to stay at this hotel because I had great childhood memories of being here with my parents. Now that I have two children of my own, I wanted to make those type of memories with them. Initially, I had booked the cheapest room. Upon checking in, they have kiosks that you check yourself into and it hands you the keys. The kiosk offered a room upgrade for $30 more so I accepted. The place is very lively and super packed. The parking situation is a nightmare. The spots are so small and you're going around in circles forever hoping someone will leave. We parked in the structure almost at the very top and had to take the elevator back down. The elevator was absolutely repulsive. You can tell that it's never been cleaned since 1968 when they opened. It's supposed to be a smoke free hotel but reaks of cigarettes. Once we found our room, we were hit with a tremendously awful smell. I sprayed my boyfriend's cologne everywhere and even that didn't help. There's no fridge, no microwave, no coffee pot, nothing. The toiletries are a prison bar of soap and a conditioner that's drilled to the wall. The place is ghettoooo. Ladies so drunk their breasts are out and guys so sloppy drunk they're dropping their belongings. I will say that AdventureDome being just downstairs from your room is a really nice touch. There's also a Starbucks, Popeyes, and Pick Up Sticks. They are incredibly inflated though and customer service is terrible so I wouldn't suggest it. They also have a splash pad that looks super fun but it's sooo crowded I didn't even bother. I think the worst part of this stay were the hotel elevators during checkout. It's a huge mob of people all waiting for the same elevator and when it finally arrives, it's too crowded to even go into. There was people shoving each other or cutting each other. We legit waited thirty minutes until we decided to just take the one million flight of stairs. Overall I would not suggest it at all. I paid $273.05 for two nights and I guess you get what you pay for so I think next time I'll spend more money and go elsewhere.

    Circus Circus feels really old and outdated, and honestly, it comes across as pretty gross in some areas. The room was run down and dated. We didn't stay. The whole place just lacks the clean, fresh vibe you'd expect from a Vegas hotel. It tries to be fun with its carnival theme, but it ends up feeling cheap and a bit run-down instead. Definitely not the best choice if you're looking for a comfortable or modern stay.

    Circus Circus is one of those classic Vegas spots. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and now we bring our son, so there's definitely nostalgia attached. We always head up to the Midway, play the carnival games, and catch the free shows. The games are affordable at around $2-$2.50 each, which is rare these days, and the weekend shows, trapeze, juggling, and other acts, are fun to watch and don't cost a thing. That said, it's more about the experience than the wow factor. If you're looking for a simple, family-friendly place to let the kids have fun without spending a ton, Circus Circus delivers. Just don't expect anything beyond the basics.

    This was our last resort because we got side tracked to vegas for a few days after our flight was cancencelled until two days later. This was the only hotel available. It's unfortunate because we do not like this hotel and still do not after this stay. For starters, this place is dirty and filthy as seen in some of my pictures. In our original room, it smelled like weed and cigarettes. We asked to move and were presented with a better smelling room. The staff were overall friendly. Most of the hotel smells. It is also located off the strip so it's a pretty long walk to get to the attractions and main hotels. There are also no circus shows playing when we stayed here!! The evelvator was reliable and the water pressure in the bathrooms was nice. Besides that, I don't have many good things to say about this place. Every door we touched, shocked us and it made me feel dirty staying here. I wouldn't recommend unless absolutely required. For kids however, I can see how this would be fun. There is a whole kid area with roller coasters and arcade games. If I was a child, I would enjoy this for a few hours. The outdoor pool would be fun too

    Upon check in, this is what was in the room. How does housekeeping miss this?!!!
    Rudy D.

    I would truly like to understand what they do well here. Arrived an hour earlier than check in and was told it would cost us $30+ if we chose to check in early. We declined. Room had zero frills. Our window had a view of a wall. No fridge, microwave nor coffee maker. I didn't expect much but hoped for better. Only two sets of towels with no hand towels. The shampoo container was sitting on the tub. The crusty double backed tape was still stuck on the shower surround. A simple repair, yet they made a decision not to. Only three hangers in the room. Called next day to get towels. Instead of getting housekeeping, it was forwarded to front desk where I waited a half hour before hanging up. Went to front desk and told them our needs. Handed the phone and she connected me right away to housekeeping. They then delivered towels within the hour. My wife was able to get ahold of housekeeping via phone, as we were getting short of TP. No delivery... again went to front desk and delivery made hours later. Not all was terrible. Water pressure and hot water is great. Because of the convention the rates for this subpar property were over $160 a night. These rooms typically go for $30 a night, though I wouldn't stay here unless I absolutely had to even at $30 a night....

    Even with low expectations, the hotel failed to meet them. The place is so run down, old, and smells. It was a ghost town. The room itself had questionable stains on the furniture, no hangers in the closet, broken wood inside the closet, no fan in the bathroom, and just general sense of a forgotten hotel stuck in the past. The server at the Big Chill 2 frozen margarita bar was nice though. They say you get what you pay for, but even at the price which includes a $50 per day resort fee, it's not worth it.

    We didn't stay here, was in the area so just stopped by to check it out. They do provide free parking, we just went in through the hotel registration/parking entrance since it wasn't very clear where else we could park. The place feels old and not kept up to date, it doesn't feel dirty, but nor was it clean. It's a little bit of a maze to find our way to the Midway, and on the top level there were many arcade games and in the center was the stage for the free circus act. Happens every half hour or so on certain days and maybe lasts 8 minutes. I believe the rest of the time is for you to take your kids to spend at the arcade games. The act itself was fun, obviously can't really stand up to the bigger productions in Vegas, but it's free.

    Ryan S.

    Circus Circus honestly surprised me in a way I did not expect. Yes, it's old and definitely dated, but it also has a ton of great machines and a fun, slightly chaotic vibe that kind of works. Walking through the arcade and circus areas took me straight back to my childhood, in a way that felt nostalgic instead of sad. I would love to come back and actually catch some of the live circus acts because that part alone feels like classic Vegas. I am not sure I would stay at the hotel given the condition of some of the public areas, but as a stop to gamble a bit, wander around, and experience a different side of the Strip, it's a surprisingly fun visit.

    Ask the Community - Circus Circus

    How is the food for kids?

    There's a good court but not cheap, a pizza restaurant and the buffet wasn't open the last time we visited, I wanna say there's also more food up at the 2nd floor where the shops are and you might find something! McDonald's also available on second… 

    Is it pet friendly?

    Honestly I doubt it. It is very crowded, noisy and I did not see any place if you have a dog to walk it. It is surrounded by sidewalks.

    Is there any dance clubs or lounge? Also is there any beer pong to play on the strip?

    Not at Circus Circus Beer Pong can be played at Planet Hollywood

    Is the buffet open?

    When we were there in April it was open

    Do the rooms have microwaves?

    The room that we had didn't have a microwave.

    Is there free airport shuttle?

    Go somewhere else, don’t stay there!

    Planning a family trip in August want to know if the rooms are clean?

    My husband was recently there and the room looked like it hadn’t been clean in a while. And when he brought it to the supervisor was rude

    Planning on going to Vegas for the first time how's the rooms here?

    Decent and cheap.

    So you need to be vaccinated?

    No, we do not check guest vaccination status. We are following the mask mandate that is still in place.

    Is the roller coaster is still open?

    Yes, both coasters are running.

    Is there valet parking available right now?

    No, only self park.

    Can I use a different to check in both have my name on it I looked it up on there site it said only need id card I was want to sure I can?

    Are you able to buy day passes for the pool?or do u have to be staying at the hotel?

    Hello is the Adventuredome open in the monthnif January??? thank you

    Yes, The Adventuredome is open in January, however we do have some scheduled closures for maintenance. The closures are scheduled on Jan 11-14, Jan 19-21, and Jan 26-28. We hope to see you soon!

    Do the rooms have mini fridges or coolers?

    no they don't

    Parking availability for free?

    Yes, self parking is free.

    Me and my girl friend plan on going to Vegas in August. Would you recommend this hotel? How clean is the rooms/bathrooms and amusement park? And how safe do you feel when you're there? Is the food any good?

    No, isn't all that clean and is run down. It's not very safe look at news reports about fights and shootings that occur there. Food mainly sucks unless you eat at the expensive steakhouse.

    Is the water slides available for children or is that an additional cost?

    They are available and free to kids In the pool area as long as you stay at Circus Circus. They just have to be a certain height.

    Can you receive mail here?

    Going next week with my fam. Wife and I are veterans here but never been with our kids (ages 10 and 5). Wondering what are the pros to staying here and are there any "perks" with staying here? Ex:discounts on rides, food, tour?. I've heard the bad!

    Not sure about perks but the kids will enjoy the arcade and circus shows performed daily .$34 Adults/$20 kids all day ride pass at the AdventureDome it includes 3D/4D movies and laser tag included. Don't waste money on concession stand to expensive.…

It feels like the place is being run by young employees who either haven't been properly trained in customer service or simply don't want to provide it. If you don't like dealing with customers, a customer-service job probably isn't the best career choice. It took us over 30 minutes just to find someone willing to help us redeem our arcade tickets for prizes. We asked multiple employees for assistance, and every single one seemed more interested in passing us off to someone else than actually solving the problem. Look, I get it--it's Circus Circus. The place already comes with a certain reputation. But maybe during new-hire orientation, management could dust off one of those painfully boring training videos explaining what customer service actually means. At this point, even that would be an improvement. Will I come back? Probably. I still have little kids, and they have fun here. But believe me, I yearn for the glorious day when they're grown and I can finally drive past Circus Circus without hearing, "Dad, can we go there?!" Until then, I'll be back. Reluctantly. Do a little better, Circus Circus. The kids may not notice the poor service--but the parents paying for everything definitely do.

They won't allow you to bring your phone or anything else in your pockets onto the ride. Staff actually check before you board, and if you have anything on you, they'll send you back to put it away. Luckily, there are lockers nearby for around $1, so storing your belongings is quick, easy, and inexpensive. We visited on a Friday night and purposely waited until it was dark so we could enjoy the views of the Las Vegas Strip while riding. We had purchased our tickets online ahead of time, which I highly recommend because it allowed us to skip the ticket line. Once inside New York-New York, the coaster was easy to find, and we only waited about 30 minutes to ride. As a plus-size woman, I was happy to find that I fit comfortably on the ride, which is always something I appreciate knowing before visiting an amusement attraction. It was over 100°F outside the night we rode, so flying through the loops, twists, and huge drops while getting blasted with warm desert air made for a pretty wild experience! I'll admit, I was a little terrified--the drops are much bigger than I expected, and I rode a good portion of it with my eyes closed. The ride itself is fairly short, but it's packed with excitement from start to finish. My teenager absolutely loved it, and even though it scared me a bit, I'm really glad we did it. If you're visiting Las Vegas with kids or teens, I'd definitely recommend adding the Big Apple Coaster to your itinerary.

I also like doing new and different things. I've gone go-cart riding, I took a shooting lesson once, and I have gone sky diving. One thing I've always wanted to do was learn to drive a forklift so this sounded like my thing. I heard about this place while researching unique things to do in Vegas that didn't included gambling or the Casinos. Once I found there website I was excited to give them a try, but was undecided on which option to book. There were so many good ones. The idea of driving a bulldozer and another option to use an excavator and crush a car sounded exhilarating. I was a little nervous about finding a way to get there as they are so far out of the strip. I was worried that the LYFT driver wouldn't want to drive that far out of town to take us there or pick us up. They are located 20 minutes south of the Strip, which is a quick LYFT ride that costs under $40. And to be houses it can be the same amount of time to get around the strip and back to our hotel, the Rio which is off the strip at night when it's the busiest time and traffic is so heavy. The trip there is almost all freeway. I was a bit nervous when I found out you have to sign a waver not holding them liable if you get injured. The price of the big equipment is between $195- $320 ( Each sessions last between 45 to 90 minutes and range form age 8+ or16+) The most exhilarating one was $799 and you get to use an excavator to crush a car.. Now that sounded like the most fun. That's called the Aggression session and lasts 45 minutes. The age for this is 14+. Driving a bulldozer sounded fun too. Being so nervous I ended up booking the kid's dig. There you get to operate a 1.5 ton excavator. That seemed safer if they offered options for little kids and I mean little. Age 2+ can operate the excavator. Depending on their size they may have to sit on someone's lap. The kids dig is $29.50 for 15 minute increments. You can book multiple sessions. And for each session another person can be the operator. You can't split sessions between multiple people. Prior to booking I did call them and talked to Taylor I believe and she assured me as an adult without a child could partake in the Kids Dig. She assured me that other adults have done it and it's still a lot of fun. We went the last Sunday in May 2026. Our appointment was at Noon. I wanted to make sure I had enough time so I booked two 15 minute sessions. Having two sessions allowed us to each try it. My husband said he'd just watch and be my photographer, but I waned to give him the options too to try it out and he did and enjoyed it. Probably not as much as I did, but he had fun. Alex my instructor was amazing. He continued to yell out directions till I got the hang of it. I was doing it with another kid next to me and I felt Alex was really paying attention to me even though he was direction both of us. I was in heaven as I dug dirt out of the ground and created a giant hole. 15 minutes was plenty for time and I relinquished my second session to my husband. I had so much fun that I wanted to share the fun. I had trouble on my own remembering what to do so he continued to give me directions till I got the handle of it. I wonder how little kids so it as I was having difficulty remembering what to do. On the other hand kids play so many video games these days so they may be more used to this rhythm of movement. I highly reccomend this activity to everyone that is looking for something unique to do in Vegas. This was the highlight of my trip to Vegas. I'm so glad I overcame my fear of getting to and from Dig This. I felt very safe using the excavator. It's a little nerve wracking at first as you lean back a bit when you are digging. You really don't need the photo package as your companion can walk all around you and take pictures and videos. This only works if you are confident in their photography and videography skills. I had my doubts so I bought the photo package and I'm glad i did as Alex go a really good action shoot of me. And I'm a total photography lover. I like to capture the moment and I feel like the money is worth it not to miss the moment. When I went Sky diving I hired a photographer and videographer too and it was so worth it. The digital photo package with plaque is $67.93. If you just want the plaque it's $37.93. It's so much of a better deal to get the digital photo package as you get a minimum of 5 shots. We got 17 for the 2 sessions and that was of both my husband and myself. I was thrilled with Alex's photography skills and his ability to catch those action shots. If you have reservations do the Kid's dig. It's only $29.50 and have your companion take your picture and it's a total steal for all the fun you'll have.

    It's Soarin'! in Las Vegas. Same ride system and manufacturer. They have 4 different movies that…read morethey cycle through throughout the day. There is a "history of the west" preshow video which is ok. But the actual ride really shines. Overall experience is about 25 minutes from pre-show to exit. We did the West video which went through the deserts in the west, up the coast, and also the pacific northwest. Of course there was a flyover of Vegas. The video was very crisp. The ride system was very smooth. My daughter complained it didn't have the neat transitions between scenes like Disney does. This just jumps from clip to clip although they try to keep the perspective the same. Overall I really liked this. A definite must do in my mind!

    We went to FlyOver in LasVegas for the Iceland Experience…read more I agree with other reviewers about the employees being rude. We could not hear 1/2 of what they were saying and no one was enthusiastic at all. The pre-show was decent, but after standing in line, standing waiting to see the pre-show experience and then standing for the pre-show experience, older people and those with back problems had trouble. We were seated for the film. The film was nice with a few special effects, but it was more about the Iceland country side and only a few seconds showing areas inhabited by people including Reykjavik which is a beautiful city (we have been there). The overall film experience was not 25 minutes as advertised (less). If you are prone to motion sickness or have ear or balance issues I don't recommend this experience.

As seen, in my Pics The Gift Shop's items' isn't priced too badly; there were some items that I was considering, but you know how it is, after the Holidays, your bank account is pretty lean; I have a lot of people to buy for, I've got a large family. There were five Grinch- themed trees. Many of the trees were decorated very nicely. It's a beautiful sight to see. We went on the Carousel, and we did two rounds of Mini-Golf, which was fun. We also went down the Avalanche twice. Stringbean went three times. Gone are the years of seeing all of the Gingerbread Houses. Now, there are a lot of fundraising food/drink stands, I get it, it's an organization.

There was so much to do. They have the big giant awesome slide. The line was kinda long so we didn't do that. They had a Santa shop where you can have pics with Santa. Santa was so nice and we got good high quality pictures. We also tried the carousel and my grandson loved it. There were also lot of small shops that you. A buy small Cute stuff and trinkets. The Magical Forest is still MAGICAL! The lights are awesome and the train goes through it. Of course the highlight is the TRAIN and it went around the magical forest. This is an awesome place to go and the entrance is very affordable. The kids will love it. Advice to go early so you'll get to do everything. And try the hot cocoa and funnel cakes.

    What can I say? My kids love them some good ole sharks. So we come here and they never…read moredisappoint. There's sharks aplenty. Hammerhead! Saw tooth shark. Komodo dragon. Snake. Huge fishes. And an ancient SE Asian ruin theme that just makes it all the more majestic and Indiana Jonesy. I got an annual pass and in 2 months we went maybe 3 times and it's always awesome. Even without the kids, I swear I can just sit there in the shark area and meditate and listen to the underwater sounds and it's just so peaceful and soul refreshing.

    During our visit, we attended a piranha talk and presentation. We also explored exhibits featuring…read moreAsian fish and lizards, sharks, and stingrays. One of the more interesting features was a ship-like viewing area that allowed children to see animals swimming both underneath and above them through the glass. This gave younger visitors another way to observe the animals closely. Stingray Touch Pool The stingray touch pool was much less accessible for small children. The stingrays usually stayed near the bottom of the pool, making them difficult for younger children to reach. Children were not permitted to sit or lie on the stone surrounding the pool for safety reasons, but there was no alternative provided, such as a secured step platform or designated raised viewing area. This meant that parents often had to lift and hold their children over the edge so they could see or attempt to touch the stingrays. That could create its own safety concern for both the parent and child. A staff member suggested that a child could lie on their stomach to reach farther into the pool. However, this may not work well for children who have sensory sensitivities, physical limitations, discomfort with pressure on their stomach, or developmental delays. The exhibit would be more inclusive if it offered a safe alternative for shorter children, such as: * A secured, nonslip step platform * A lower section of the pool designed for children * A raised glass viewing window * A staff-supported touch opportunity * Clear accessibility options for children with sensory or physical needs The touch pool was an exciting concept, but the current design made it difficult for many younger children to participate independently and safely.
