| - This place is a piece of crap. That being said, you can still have fun, but don't expect much. It's cheap (I paid about $30 for an off-night only a week in advance). Our room was hella far from the check-in (across the street and down a bit to be exact). Not out of walking distance, but unlike other casinos, it was not connected at all to the main section. This was annoying (but I suppose it made it quieter). Check-in was also annoying--there were probably 20 people in line ahead of us and only 2 or 3 receptionists. This meant a long wait time, and throw in bratty little children running a muck... I was about ready to break out my fifth of 100 proof SoCo right there in the lobby and start taking shots. At 4pm. No joke.
There is a $5 additional hotel fee upon check-in. This includes pool access, the fitness room, etc. It also meant free wireless internet (in theory... it was painfully slow, we gave up on it after only a few minutes. Even a 3G network on your iPhone would be faster). The coupons were a joke--nothing really worthwhile (though 2 free midway games were valid on any game, so I recommend using them on the most expensive ones like throwing the dart into a star for a huge prize).
The casino itself is pretty bad and noisy--no high class establishment here. My friends and I ended up just playing midway games while completely intoxicated (which is always fun). The games are not too expensive considering how much they could jack up the price.
The location is walking distance to the main part of the strip... only if you're FUBARed (aka F-ed Up Beyond All Recognition). Seriously though, it's not too long of a walk if you're wearing good shoes.
All in all, I'll probably not stay again, but it was fun while it lasted. You get what you pay for, but I'd even prefer Hooters (see my other review) over Circus Circus. It is, however, saved from a 2 star vote due to their pretty fun arcade and midway section (but otherwise, for the hotel itself, would get 1 star for sure).
