Circus Circus is the first hotel I ever stayed at on the strip (multiple occasions) and is one of the oldest left standing. The Hotel itself is comprised completely of clowns and other circus type paintings, colors and is even designed to resemble that of a Circus tent.\n\nAlthough the Hotel is old it does feature a great amusement park inside complete with a roller coaster and various other rides as well as one of the best video arcades on the strip. The slots are decently priced and pay out fine and the buffet is a great bargain. What they place lacks in the charm and elegance of some of the new larger Hotels such as The Venetian, The Bellagio, The Wynn or Hard Rock it makes up for in charm and its inviting family like feel. \n\nCircus Circus regularly will hold shows in the middle of the floor of the casino throughout the day to entertain the guests. The rooms are nice enough and a lot more affordable than the aforementioned new Hotels on the strip and most people in Vegas typically spend minimal time in their rooms anyway. Is the place outdated? Absolutely but it is also a fixture on the strip and one of the few remaining places with old school Vegas written all over it. Some minor remodeling wouldn't kill them but they do not want to kill the charm that has remained throughout the years. If you are looking for a great place for the kids while you gamble this may be the best place for you.
