Where do I start....
So we book a room to Circus Circus from one of those discount websites. It was a great deal, half price and close to everything we wanted to visit.
We get to the hotel and once we find our way to guest registration we are greeted by someone who clearly was at the end very long shift and wasn't at all pleased with the idea of checking anyone else in. She very unceremoniously informs us that the room we booked wasn't available and we will be placed in another room. No apology, no compensation. When we asked if there was another available room that we could perhaps pay to upgrade to she simply said "No". I also found it a little unsettling that there was a resort fee on top of what we had already paid online. It was nice to hear that this resort fee did come with access to their wifi.
I try to not let my experience at guest registration ruin my trip so I head to our room, which mind you is literally as far away from guest registration as you could get and still be considered Circus Circus. Our room was in the very back of their property in what I'm guessing is one of the original buildings from when Circus Circus was built. If the decor was any indicator it was some time in the 60s, probably the last time our room saw any real attention.
We settle into the room and I attempt to connect to the wifi I was told about at the front desk. The one thing I'm thinking is probably the only thing I'll get of use out of this resort fee I paid. To my surprise I find that there is no available wifi.
None of this was all that terrible really, it was a cheap price and really how much time do you want to spend in your hotel when you're in Las Vegas? The real problem came with the paper thin walls. I could hear people in the adjoining rooms as if they were in my room with me. Being Las Vegas no one sleeps, ever, so clearly I was a fool to think I should expect any sleep.
In the end it was all too much for me and my trip was cut short. After driving for nearly 5 hours and getting almost no sleep I opted to drive home.
