In my travels, staying in Provence or at luxurious Parador is not my norm. Neither is coming to Las Vegas of which I have little interest except for an interesting show or if I happen to be passing through. That later was the case the last time I came to Circus Circus. My stepdaughter and I arrived after starting the in Moab Utah and all I was interested in was making sure that she was comfortable, safe and entertained.
For what I wanted (including price), our experience at Circus Circus was OK, and we were on the road soon enough the next day towards Death Valley and the Eastern Sierra. At the same time, this place really is past it's time and in hindsight I could have chosen better here in Las Vegas, even in the eyes of my child.
