Worst resort in Las Vegas

No swimming pool, we had to pay extra for everything, they made us pay $91 for the services we didn’t use at all. We chose it thinking kids friendly, not at all. Worst experience at all. Hotel is very old, everybody is rude! Visited almost every hotel at the strip, way nicer and around same price range! Will never go back to circus circus!

What we expected

We booked a week in Vegas for my Hubbys 40th bday. Budget hotel, Beds were comfy, safe in room, hot water was abit wonky. No fridge or coffee pot. Stay away from the free dinner/show people in the lobby!! It was exactly what we expected for the price we paid.

Hotel a bit tired

You get the sense nothing much has been done in 20-30 years in the hotel. The furniture, aside from the TV, is old. The in-room carpet and bathroom were reasonably new. The hallways smelled of some cleaner, presumably to limit smoke from the casino. The slides were a hit with the kids. Bathroom wasn't cleaned daily as hair was on the floor after cleaning.

Circus Circus - a mixed bag

Pros Very close to the central part of the strip Too many entertainment options Amazingly courteous staff Food for all kinds of palettes Cons Dated Dated Dated Didn't have a show except for some circus acts Too many kids wandering around in the over 21 casino area Too many people partying in the hotel during sleeping hours Had a great time overall .Went in with really low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. My wife and me had a great 4 days. The only thing I would change is h [... read more]ave more check in staff.

Great package deal

Pool and splash zone were great. Rooms are older but clean. The bus service is very handy and close. The food on premise is good. E.g. Tattuado It's a reasonable Air Canada package. It's fairly far from the strip but walkable.

Good for price

My friend and I recently stayed at the Circus Circus for 5 nights. The hotel is not fancy and it is very geared towards children with the amusement park as is the shops they have in the hotel. We upgraded for only $5.00 more per night and were pleasantly surprised with the room, the hotel beds looked new (we checked the mattresses right away) and it was the best sleep I have had in years in a hotel. We were on the 27th floor and it was so quiet you wouldn't believe that there was so much goin [... read more]g on underneath us. The bathroom was clean and looked newly renovated. We didn't spend much time in the hotel but for the price and being on the strip we were happy with our choice.

Fun resort!

The last old of the big old resorts on the strip! Fun atmosphere, indoor circus and midway. Very clean, well looked after. Courteous staff. Great amenities. Good choice of food vendors and restaurants within. Overall great value for the price.

Family Oriented Resort

Offered upgrade upon arrival which we took as original rooms offer in the manor section were extremely disappointing. Everyone was offered the upgrade so I suspect they bait with lower price and offer better room upon arrival. Rooms in the tower are a little dated but clean and have all the amenities (charging $50 for a cabana at the pool is a little outrageous). We were thrilled the room was ready at noon. We knew there would be lots of children but didn't expect to see them running about a [... read more]t midnight. Circus Circus is located at the end of the strip so be prepared to pay for transportation to get to the main area. I would only recommend this hotel if reserving the tower and when is Las Vegas going to catch up with the rest of the world and ban smoking in public areas. Heavy air fresheners used in the hotel mixed in with the cigarette smoke is awful

Amazing vacation

This hotel never ceases to amaze me! So much to see and do! Location is pretty good and buses go by often enough to get you to and from any event! Slots are located throughout and the splash pad is a great place to stay cooled off

Meh!

While the room was fairly comfy and clean, only because we paid a little to upgrade to the skyrise tower when we checked in. We won't be staying there again, the buffet was gross especially for 20+ bucks a person. Waiting 25 minutes for a coffee in the morning at the starbucks by our tower. If you're travelling with kids, the hotel might work for you. If not, all the kids can be a bit much and in a smoking casino, it was a little weird!

Circus Circus - Adults can play too.

This Hotel is a bit far from all of the other hotels, but with a bus pass, it's really not that far. There is so much fun located at this hotel. Entertainment of the acrobats or clowns, the midway games, or even karaoke at Vince Neil's Tatuado. ps, There's a $39.00 steak deal at Tatuado that you can't miss, Two 8 oz steaks, with the fixings, a bottle of Red wine and a cheese cake to share.

OK resort for the money

Circus Circus was ok for the price. 30 minute walk to the strip. AC was freezing, take a sweater with you. 3 times we asked for an extra blanket, never did get one. staff were very informative though. This time of year always have a bottle of water with when outside.

Circus Circus; Las Vegas

Not bad at all. Clean and big enough for me as I did not spend much time in the hotel just sleep and go..The room I got did not old as other complaints. People complaint that it located at the far north end but there is a bus stop right at front which very convenient to start from one end to the other end on the strip. Second floor has free show and play stations for family to have fun together. One thing I need to warn is that as soon as you step into the hotel there are some staffs trying to c [... read more]atch you and offer you free shows, dinner and 3 night hotel for free. They even have a counter just in there at front near by the hotel registration. They will ask $60 for deposit and required credit card when they pick you up the next day to Diamond resort.. There is a ton of complaints..Google it and don't get on the trap like I do..and you will ruin you trip. Other than that I am happy with this hotel.

Fun time

Hotel was very basic but very clean and staff were fantastic. Went the extra mile for sure. Lots of families at hotel which we didn't expect from Vegas, but it was ok. There was construction going on near the pool, but otherwise it was good

You get what you pay for

The hotel overall was ok. It was under construction so getting to the pool was an effort. It was a typical hotel ... nothing fancy but clean. All the amenities we needed where available and I found it to be a quiet hotel. Only received room service once for the three nights we were there. Even though we were out all day and asked for the room to be cleaned. We ran out of toilet paper, kleenex and towels which we asked for. The ladies that cleaned the room were very friendly and always helpfu [... read more]l but we had to ask. I am not sure I would recommend this hotel. Some of the nicer hotels were not that much more expensive. The staff was nice but .... As I said, you get what you pay for.

1st time to Vegas

It was a nice trip. We were there middle of February, the pool wasn't open yet. As a Canadian it was warm enough for swimming. I'm not a gambler but there are plenty of things to do..........................................

Awesome!!

Are first time to Vegas If your cheap like us ......... Friendly staff Great food Nice shops Aw some atmosphere Great price Would recommend Circus circus On main strip Enjoyed our stay Would return again

GREAT TIME

As "newbies " to traveling, we put our trust in our travel agent. We were booked at Circus Circus & had a great time!!! From check in to check out we we're always treated with a smile & willingness to help us out with any problems!!!! Would definitely go back again!!! Thx Theresa for a memorable vacation!!!

A super enjoyable vaca for our first!!

It's a BIG hotel. We got lost a few times. It was very clean, very quiet! LOTS TO DO! We used the public transportation to get around, so much easier. So much to do in our own hotel. You didn't have to leave it, but.... so much to see and do outside of our hotel. We needed more time. We would definitely go back!

Old school fun

The rooms are clean and quiet....front desk, as busy as they are,treated us well. The biggest con for us is there is no coffee makers in the room...a bit surprising considering the resort fee they charge,
