Circus Circus Hotel and Casino Las Vegas

Circus Circus Hotel and Hotel Las Vegas caters to parents with kids and teens. Your children won't be bored in the Adventuredome with lots of games, rides and shows to keep them entertained. Great place to stay also if you're on a budget. Staff is patient and courteous. Access to other casinos is very easy with on-going buses and cabs on the Strip.

The pool at Circus Circus Hotel and Casino Las Vegas is actually across a non-busy street from the hotel. There are two pools with a lot of action always going on at both.

Look for the large pink glass dome to keep your kids entertained. Free clown shows, mini golf, a roller coaster, rides and games; it's more like a mini-theme park than Disneyland. Midway is an area around the circus ring where your children can play video games, air hockey, and games like ski ball. It's not cheap. Acrobatic aerialists perform for free every 20 minutes under the big top. If your kids like roller coasters, take a quick bus ride up the street to the Sahara Hotel Las Vegas, NV to experience their roller coaster.

To get to other casinos from the Circus Circus Hotel and Hotel Las Vegas, you will need very good walking shoes. It's within walking distance of the Riviera and a bus ride north will take you to the Stratosphere. It's a quick cab ride to the Las Vegas Convention Center. If you're driving in, you'll find lots of parking, just look for the famous clown marquee on the Strip.

Let me suggest a room in the West Tower, they are newer, clean and large. Showers are decent and maids change linens and towels every day. They're on par with rooms at the Flamingo or Harrah's. Always inquire about a room with a view, preferably above the 12th floor.

There are many dining choices designed for kids at the Circus Circus Hotel and Hotel Las Vegas. The Pizzeria has made-to-order pizzas for you and your kids. They even deliver to your room. The Garden Grill has sandwiches, pastas and seafood for big appetites.

The Mexitalia X-Press will get you in and out of there fast so you can go enjoy the rides. For private dining, I recommend the award-winning Steak House with beautifully aged steaks and a champagne brunch on Sunday. It's half the price of Gallagher's Steakhouse at the New York New York Hotel Las Vegas.

Circus Circus actually has 3 casinos in its 100,000 square feet of gaming space. You'll find a casino gaming area and the 2 pools in the Skyrise Tower. The Casino Tower has 2 casinos, the Race and Sports Book, restaurants, the arcade, the wedding chapel and Midway with fun for the whole family. Ask about the free blackjack lessons. If you're a new gambler you can find low bet tables. It's a great place to learn about gambling at the Circus Circus Hotel and Hotel Las Vegas.
