“Good stay”

Average room, but good value for being on the strip. Free, easy parking is a massive bonus. This was my 2nd stay here, hadn't realised we had been 'upgraded' last time to a room with a fridge, this time they wanted $28 per day for the privilege which was disappointing.

“Old school Las Vegas on the strip…”

I want to first and foremost give respect to the Circus Circus Casino/Resort for its longevity. It has been a staple in the strip as everything else around it has been replaced over the past few decades. Fast forward to 2026 ole boy is well worn, and not the best smelling place to be in the city. We came over from Fontainebleau so we went from one extreme to the other. The casino floor makes you want to bring a can of Daniele’s with you before you touch anything. Outside of a purchase in the gift shop we didn’t interact with anyone besides the entry guard to the Adventureland. While the casino itself was kinda depressing the theme park in the back was much better than Zi was expecting. I am glad we went simply because you never know how much longer this resort may remain active on the strip. Check it out if you like old school, classic strip vibes.

“A Place to Rest Between Activities”

I stayed at Circus Circus during my visit to Las Vegas and found it to be a functional place to stay while exploring the city. The check-in process was straightforward, and the location provided access to the northern end of the Strip. The property offers a variety of attractions, restaurants, and gaming areas, making it convenient to have several options in one location. At the same time, parts of the property felt older compared to some of the newer resorts nearby. The overall experience was acceptable but did not stand out as a highlight of the trip. The hotel served its purpose, but it was clear that some areas have been around for many years. One advantage of the property is the amount of activity available on-site. There is easy access to the Adventuredome, arcade games, dining options, and casino areas. However, the size of the property often meant a fair amount of walking between destinations. Some areas appeared dated and could benefit from modernization. While I appreciated the convenience, I found myself spending more time exploring other parts of Las Vegas than staying at the resort itself. The atmosphere was generally active, especially during peak hours, which may appeal to travelers looking for a busier environment. Overall, Circus Circus served its purpose as a base for the trip. It may appeal to travelers looking for a more budget-conscious option on the Strip or those interested in family-oriented attractions. The direct access to the Adventuredome is a definite advantage for visitors interested in indoor entertainment. While it was convenient and offered a variety of activities, the property did not leave as strong an impression as some other resorts in Las Vegas. I enjoyed having it as a place to stay, but I would likely explore other hotel options on a future visit.

“Decent place for a sleep”

Went for a mother-daughter long weekend. Got what I thought was a good deal but make sure you read the fine print - they charge $51/night resort fee - so, more than I anticipated. Check-in staff was pleasant. It could definitely use a renovation. I didn't think to take a pic of the room. Sheets were clean (we always inspect bc eww) and a nice view of the Sphere. Neither my daughter nor I could turn the shower handle and had to call the front desk for help. Maintenence guy came pretty quick. We found out why it was so tight though. The water kept dripping when we shut it off (or at least attempted to). The bell desk was closed on Tuesday so they allowed us late check out (1pm) since our flight wasn't till 4:00. Would I stay again? Probably not, but no huge complaints. 3/5

“Poor quality room. Good for sleeping, that’s it.”

The location is nice. The atmosphere is sort of old feeling, considering you could plug in an analog computer to mantel. The TV works. Could not find outlets near light stand and the outlets on the mantle did not work, but worked in the connected room. No fridge, No microwave, and the WiFi is paid. Overall wouldn’t recommend unless you were just there to sleep.
