Circus Circus Hotel Las Vegas Review Part-2

Circus Hotel Las VegasCircus Circus Casino

The main Casino is located on the ground floor (naturally), which like all good Vegas hotel casinos, seems to be endless. If lost aren’t your thing but gambling is, there’s also Table Games, Poker Rooms and a Race and Sport Book, but again, there are many of these throughout Vegas, many of which are much better.

The Circus at Circus Circus Hotel Las Vegas

Circus Circus has, believe it or not, a circus, and not just any circus apparently, it’s the “largest permanent big top in the world”. If you’re playing the slots (or have just gotten lost amongst them!), look up, and you’ll see what appears to be netting. This is the safety net for the trapeze artists, who swing above the heads of the slot players at regular intervals throughout the day. If you head upstairs to a mezzanine level (called “Midway”) that surrounds the main Circus stage, you get a better view, and can sample more of the circus-themed amusements on offer. These include fun-fair-like stalls (coconut-shies, rifle ranges, etc), candy floss and loads of video games.

Circus Circus Adventure Dome Theme Park

One of the best facilities on offer at Circus Circus has to be the Adventure Dome Theme Park. This is, as it suggests, a complete full-size theme park, complete with water slide, pirate ship, huge rollercoaster that twists and turns throughout the park, and dozens of other rides.

It’s after marveling at the size of the casino and getting lost several times, and then seeing a full-sized theme park tacked onto the side of the hotel, that you really appreciate the scale of the place. And then when you think that Circus Circus is by no means the biggest hotel in Las Vegas, the sheer enormity of the place finally starts to ram home as your jaw drops slightly.

Circus Circus Hotel Las Vegas Review Part-1

Circus Hotel VegasThe 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.
