Circus Circus Hotel Las Vegas Review Part-1

The Circus Circus Hotel Vegas is a large hotel and casino at the North end of the strip. I say large with 3,770 rooms, it’s huge by most standards, but by Vegas standards, it’s merely a bit big!

Circus Circus Hotel Las Vegas was built in 1968, so it’s one of the older hotels on the strip, and it’s design certainly reflects its age. It may not have the glamour and glitz of the newer hotels, but its price, generous room sizes, amazing facilities and location on the strip all make it a place well worth considering.

Like all good Vegas hotels, Circus Circus is huge and confusing. It has two towers, the Skyrise Tower and Casino Tower which together contain most of the hotel’s 3,700 rooms.

Circus Circus Rooms

The rooms in Circus Circus are generally very good. I’ve stayed in the West Tower and the Skyrise Tower and both are virtually identical. For your money, you get a triple bed (called a double, but these are Vegas sizes, remember!), TV with pay per view films on offer (of all varieties!), safe, air conditioning (vital) and large clean bathroom with shower and bath.

Food

With 3,770 rooms, there are obviously a lot of guests to feed, and Circus Circus accommodates them all with a variety of restaurants. It offers two types of buffet bar: the rather empty “healthy” option, comprising cereal, muesli and fruits of one sort or another, and their less healthy option, where even the cutlery’s fried!

If you fancy fried eggs, bacon, hash browns, sausages and even fried chicken for your breakfast, a Vegas buffet bar is the place to go! There’s also McDonalds, a Donut shop, The Steak House, which has won “The Best Steak House in Vegas” award for 12 years, The Garden Grill, Mexitalia, The Pink Pony, a Pizzeria and a Deli. In other words, there’s food aplenty.

Excalibur Hotel and Casino Las Vegas

The Excalibur Hotel Vegas and Casino is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip at 3850 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Nevada. It is one of the large casinos owned by the Mandalay Resort Group. Excalibur, named for the mythical sword of King Arthur, uses the Arthurian theme in several ways. The Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard intersection, where the property sits, is very busy, so pedestrians are not allowed to cross at street level. There is also a free tram that connects Excalibur to its sister Mandalay Resort Group hotel casinos to the south, the Luxor and Mandalay Bay.

History

The Excalibur opened on June 19, 1990. It was one of many new, modern Las Vegas hotels that featured children’s attractions, such as an arcade and a small medieval style roller coaster. Another feature of the Excalibur that is prominent in many of today’s Las Vegas hotels is a large family swimming pool.

In turn the 18th floor of the Excalibur Hotel was evacuated. The fire alarms were triggered when rain entered the rooms. On April 26, 2005, the Excalibur, along with the other hotels of the Mandalay Resort Group, was purchased by rival MGM Mirage. Excalibur now has 2,000 newly remodeled Las Vegas hotel room that are called “Widescreen Rooms”. Widescreen rooms also offer the property’s best views, as well as its most convenient access to the pool and spa.

Attractions

A long-running show, the “Tournament of Kings,” features simulated medieval jousting. Regale was originally called “Lance-a-lotta Pasta” and was more family/child oriented than Regale, which is more upscale.

Like many other hotels on the Strip, the Excalibur features a wedding chapel. The hotel has opened a spa near the pool. Excalibur recently added on their official website that the pool is now open saying “We’ve doubled the size of our pool, adding cabanas, fire pits, sun decks and a secluded relaxation pool.
