Citcus casino

Circus Circus is best known for its family-friendly amenities, particularly its indoor Adventuredome that's popular with hotel guests and other local visitors. It’s free to enter, but guests must pay for each ride and attraction. The Adventuredome has a few small roller coasters, a mini-golf course, boardwalk games, bumper cars, and 4-D interactive rides. Outside, hotel guests have exclusive access to the property’s two pools and waterslides. On warm, sunny days, the pool area is absolute mayhem, with tons of kids splashing around the entire space. The 50-foot waterslide tower features racing slides and a serpent tube slide. There’s also a kiddie splash zone with jets and fountains. The pool and water park are free for hotel guests, but it’s usually so crowded, there’s a line to get in. 

On the second floor of the casino is a circular arcade called the Midway. The Midway is lined with arcade games and a food court. In the center, the hotel’s hourly circus performances take place. The “circus” is mostly acrobatic acts that last about 30 minutes. For anyone who’d like to snag a great seat, we’d recommend arriving 20-30 minutes prior to the performance, as seating fills up quickly. On the casino floor, you’ll find more retired folk than stiletto-clad 20-somethings. It’s not the type of Vegas casino that attracts high rollers or professional gamers. Instead the penny slots and five-dollar tables are most popular. 

Unlike some of its neighbors on the strip, Circus Circus isn’t a destination for great dining. The hotel is home to six restaurants, along with multiple bars and quick-service eateries. Circus Circus has the compulsory Vegas buffet, a well-regarded steakhouse, burger joint, Tex-Mex eatery, pizzeria, and 24-hour deli. There are also several fast-food options, like McDonalds, Krispy Kreme, and Starbucks. The restaurants at Circus Circus aren’t anything to write home about. For great food, guests are better off dining somewhere else on the strip. Bars are dispersed across the hotel, so alcohol is never far from reach.  

Circus Circus doesn’t have a spa, but there is a ho-hum beauty salon and a fitness center that’s way too small for the size of the hotel. Wi-Fi is free, but daily resort fee and parking fees are sometimes more than the hotel’s nightly room rate.
