| - Oh woe is me! What happened to my beloved Circus Circus. When I was little we always stopped by Circus Circus to play the midway games. It was so cool back then. Now, it is looks so run down. It even smells funny, oh wait that's the buffet...YUCK!
Before heading back home, we had to make one last stop to play our games. My game is the one on the bowling ball that you push along the rail and if it stays in the dip, you win. I was crushed when I circled around the midway and could not find my game. Wah! My mister decided to try his luck at the Tic-Tac-Toe game. At one location he got diagonal tic-tac-toe, but he wasn't a winner because you could only do vertical and horizontal. When did they change that rule? We found another tic-tac-toe game and you can win diagonally and for $2 you get 4 balls. My mister finally became a winner and got me a a teddy bear with a Las Vegas hoodie. He then tried his luck at the milkcan game, he knocked the cans down with one bean bag. His prize, a small blue gorrilla. What happened to the prizes at Circus Circus? They used to be so cool. Now they are all budget. They had a crane game with South Park dolls. Of course my sister has to try it since she is the Crane Game master. She zeroes in on Cartman and after the 2nd try she gets it. She tries for Kenny, but couldn't get it. My mister tries and after the 4th time, he wins her the Kenny doll. We also tried the water shooting game, but the clowns' heads looked like they were about to fall apart.
I totally agree with some of the other reviewers, this place does feel depressing. They don't have to go balls out like the other strip hotels to renovate, but they can at least freshen it up a bit. Circus Circus is nostalgic Vegas to me I don't want them to change too much, but something needs to be done. Their parking lot feels like a jail. I do appreciate the blackjack tables are only $5 min., but it feels very swapmeet like to me.
*SIGH* With all the buildings popping up on the strip, we'll see if and how Circus Circus will respond.
