The hype
Families love the cheap fun, but everyone complains about the grime, the smell, and the non-existent service.
Circus Circus Hotel Casino & Theme Park
$25-75 (plus ~$51 resort fee)/ nat
Bestil hvis You are a budget traveler who literally only needs a place to store luggage while you explore, or a family who prioritizes the Adventuredome over hygiene.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Dirt cheap room rates (often under $30)
- The Adventuredome indoor theme park is legitimately fun
- Free self-parking (a rarity on the Strip)
Hurtig oversigt: A chaotic, clown-themed relic that smells like popcorn and regret, but saves you enough money to eat like a king elsewhere.
Anmeldt af @FrancMwas: I was blown away by this suite at Circa. The adults-only atmosphere changes everything—it’s so chill yet high-energy. My favorite part was definitely the massive walk-in shower and getting ready with that insane lighting before hitting Fremont Street.

Reality check
You will likely encounter marijuana smoke in the hallways and hair in the bathroom that isn't yours.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is Circus Circus safe?
Generally yes, but it feels sketchier than other resorts. Security is present, but the Manor area feels isolated at night.
Are pets allowed?
NO pets in the hotel towers. Pets are ONLY allowed in the RV Park.
Is the pool good?
It's functional. The Splash Zone is great for kids, but don't expect a relaxing adult swim. It gets very crowded.
Does the room have a fridge?
Most standard rooms do NOT have a fridge. You must request one for a fee or book a specific suite.
Is parking really free?
Yes, self-parking is free for guests and visitors. Valet is currently unavailable or seasonal.
Can I walk to other casinos?
Yes, Resorts World is right next door (5 min walk), and the Strat is a longer walk north. The walk can feel long in the heat.

The Steak House inside Circus Circus is legitimately one of the best old-school steakhouses in Vegas—don't let the location fool you.
