| - For the prices we paid to stay here two nights, (over $200 total) I expected a nice room with a fair view. When I ordered the tower king rooms, I did NOT expect to only be on the fifth floor and only get to see the very top of the below building. Nor did I expect them to place us in an area undergoing construction! We should have at least gotten a discount for putting up with that!
Plus, when we checked in, there was a HUGE line that took forever to get through.
Our room amenities were limited to a very small bottle of lotion, a miniscule amount of shampoo+conditioner in one, and one lego-sized cube of soap. The alarm on the clock didn't work, and there were chips of paint missing all over the toilet seat. Plus, the bath drain would get clogged and fill up during a shower.
The hotel itself had tons of entertainment opportunities, such as the adventuredome, casino, arcade, carnival-area, and pool.
But the staff in the carnival area were rude, and one even told us we weren't allowed to sit in the lounge chairs. Like, wtf?!? Then what are the effing chairs for?!?
Furthermore, the pool is only open from 9 AM to 5 PM, so you can't use the hot tub at night. We were tempted to sneak into another hotel's pool area because we missed the cutoff - but we didn't.
Also, you have to pay for internet here, which is the pits. I can deal with 2 or even 5 dollars a day, but it's $11-something here! That's ridiculous! I brought my laptop, but we didn't end up using it at all because of that insane price.
The hotel will advertise that it's on a prime part of the strip, but actually it's on the very South edge. Non-in-shape people, like myself, will probably have to pay for other modes of transportation to get to the REAL prime points farther down the strip.
On the good side, our bathroom was pretty large, and the hair dryer actually worked.
Also, the buffet here is rockin', in my opinion. And I love love love the crazy decorations and lights surrounding the outside.
There's also a free, but very minimal, circus show that starts at 11 AM everyday. However, from what I could tell, it was only a few acrobat routines and that was it.
On the morning we checked out, there was this really funny clown paid to pretend to be really sleepy in the lobby. I posted a couple pictures - I thought that was a riot. Definitely a great comedic addition.
Anyway, I could have paid a quarter of the price at that gross Travel Suites neighboring Circus Circus, and not have gotten even half the hassles we had to deal with here. I also heard Luxor had been doing a $70 dollars a night deal, which I should have gone for considering they're so much more elegant of a hotel.
Well, I lived and learned. Circus Circus is not worth it. Though I know it could have been a lot worse.
