I realize that Las Vegas has tried to transform itself into a destination resort for families, but Circus Circus has become overrun by children and teenagers who's parents have dragged them to Vegas so mommy and daddy could gamble. l
I stayed here on my last trip because it was the cheapest on-strip hotel I could find on such short notice. If the families weren't everywhere (at literally all hours) this would simply be a scary nightmarish clown city that overwhelms the senses. I will say, that it is worth your time to head upstairs to the 'Horse-a-Round Bar' - the rotating bar that overlooks both the casino floor and carnival madness.
Many people will tell you to stay somewhere else, but I will tell you, for all its faults, there are few places you will find that are more absurd than Circus Circus.
