| - My wife and I stayed at Circus Circus for our honeymoon because my brother paid for our trip and was being price conscious.. not that there's anything bad about that and we definitely appreciate him hooking us up with a Vegas trip. We had alot of fun while we were there and was definitely worth it, but this is a review about Circus Circus so lets begin.
The place is definitely old and shows it. We got to the hotel and the minute we walked in the front door someone started trying to hook us up with complimentary shows and passes, but required a major credit card (if its complimentary, why do you need my credit card?) We get to the check in area and there was nobody there. We waited about 20 minutes and finally someone showed up. Circus Circus charges a mandatory resort fee for each day you stay, and apparently from what I've read on other Hotel Reviews, pretty much all of them do... So we weren't surprised nor did we care to pay it. After we got our room cards we proceeded to head to our rooms. We showed up on a Tuesday so there was hardly anyone around and that's understandable. We had to walk an ungodly distance to get to the tower our room was in.. The place really looked run down, everything was expensive and there were lots of kiosks everywhere selling useless junk at ridiculous prices. (i.e. Fake jewlery, hats and crap). Anyways, we got to our hotel room, and it was decent... about the equivalent of what you can expect from a Motel 6 or Super 8 as far as decor was concerned. Our view was overlooking the north end of the strip where you can see the Stratosphere and in the distance, downtown. The view was pretty nice if you ask me. The bed was extremely comfortable. The window to our room was partly open in the corner and was nailed in that way so we couldn't close it.
The food there was bland at best and I would recommend eating at other places. We enjoyed the free circus acts, its surprisingly entertaining. Come the weekend and all hell breaks loose... There are children EVERYWHERE bumping into you, screaming, acting like.. well... Children and we dare not try to go to the pool.
There were no attractions for 20-30 something adults, like clubs or anything like that. We would have to venture into the strip or downtown for that. The casino sections are amazingly boring and poorly lit.
Overall, Im sure this place is great if you want to bring your kids to Las Vegas (why?... its Las Vegas.. should be adults only), but for grown ups, I recommend staying else where. Other than that, it was an ok stay and we don't have anything else bad to say about this place.
