Affordable with class

the hotel is located in pretty neutral area which makes it very iasy to walk up and down the strip. The room was very large and cozy. We felt very safe walking back to the room late at night. One evening I went back to the hotel without my parter and the secruity guard follwed close behind to ensure my safety. We would reccommnend and do plan on staying at the same hotel for our next visit to Las Vegas.

It's not everything, but it works.

very friendly but very basic. If you want a place to rest you head & walking a lot doesn't bother you - then take off your shoes & enjoy.

THE MANOR

THE CIRCUS CIRCUS MANOR BUILDINGS IS LOCATED OUTSIDE AND ACCROSS THE STREET FROM THE HOTEL. IT WAS A LONG WALK TO THE ROOM, AND THEN TO GET BACK TO THE CASINO. YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM TO REST ANY, BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE TO TIRED TO WANT TO WALK ALL OF THE WAY BACK AGAIN. INSIDE THE ROOM WAS NICE, BUT THE CUMPUTOR CONTROLS ON THE A.C. WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU DID AS FAR AS TEMP. CHANGE THE A.C. WOULD REGULATE IT'S OWN TEMP. IT IS A GOOD FAMILY TYPE PLACE WITH THE CIRCUS AND ALL. WE DID ENJOY WATCHING THE PREFORMERS ACT.

I really don't know what ...

I really don't know what to say. We were overall disappointed with Circus Circus. It was extremely noisy. It was also just a very old hotel, and is in need of major updates. We will not stay at Circus Circus again. We had never been to Las Vegas before this trip, and we did not have a clue referencing Circus Circus.

Great Value!

Circus Circus Las Vegas Hotel was a great value! The room was large, the bed comfortable and the view of The Strip quite good. The parking lot was easy to get to. Rated maintenance low because the elevators were out of service for way too long!

ENJOYED THE CIRCUS

I REALLY ENJOYED MY STAY AT CIRCUS CIRCUS. AT FIRST I WAS DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I HAD NOT REALIZED THE ROOM WAS NOT IN THE CASINO, IT WAS ACROSS THE STREET. BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE ROOM AND RELAXED A LITTLE I WAS FINE WITH BEING AWAY FROM THE CASINO A BIT. THE ROOM WAS NICE AND BIG. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WAS A TOE NAIL IN MY BED, BUT I CALLED THE MAID SERVICE AND SOMEONE WAS THERE WITHIN 15 MIN TO CHANGE ALL THE BEDDING AND IT WAS AFTER MIDNIGHT SO THAT IS GREAT SERVICE. IT IS DEFINITELY A PLACE TO STAY IF YOU HAVE KIDS WITH YOU. THE AMUSEMENT PARK IS RIGHT THERE IN YOUR HOTEL AND A CIRCUS EVERY HALF HOUR WHICH WAS REALLY COOL. I WOULD DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN.

Circus Circus

Circus Circus Las Vegas is ok to stay at if you want to save a litle money and stay on the strip. It is one of the older hotels, and we were there during a very busy time so it was really crowded downstairs. We were invited to the steakhouse, and it was absolutely delicious! Thank goodness I didn't have to pay because I never would have known how good it was(cost is about $40 a plate). The worst, and most annoying part of the stay was the people from Tahiti Village stopping us everytime we walked by one of their stands. There were like 4 stands throughout the hotel and they bugged us everyday, everytime we walked by. This doesn't just happen at this hotel though, it's everywhere that (MGM?) owns, and that's about half the strip. These people stop and offer some show tickets or dinners but you have to go to a seminar on buying vacation property. We went, but it wasn't really worth the time. Most people only have a limited time on vacation so why do you want to spend several hours in a seminar? If anyone out there runs into them, make sure you tell them the things you really want, not just what they offer. I wish I had because everyone got something different. Anyway, like I said, this was extremely annoying. They have booths that say FREE TICKETS so I'm sure that many people will stop for information. I don't think it's right that they bug everyone the way they do.

Sightseeing tip: In Hotel

Circus Circus offers free circus acts above the main casino(under the big top). There is an arcade and midway in that section also. If you walk towards the other end of the hotel, there is an indoor amusement park with a roller coaster and many other rides. This is a great place to stay if you take your kids.

Family friendly - children will love it

I liked the location of the room we were assigned since we didn't have children with us. It was quiet and comfortable. We liked the separate building location; however they had rooms right in the main building if we had wanted to change. The room had adequate closet space and our room was freshened everyday. Just a short walk put us in the middle of everything and all the excitement of the circus as well as good restaurants, shopping and the casino! The stores were fun to shop in and many had good prices for gifts to take home. The 24 hour bus line up and down the Vegas Strip was out front and convenient. The staff was helpful in getting our tour together.

GREAT HOTEL/GREAT VALUE

My stay was great. Staff were prompt, helpful and courteous----all staff from bell staff to restaurant staff to casino staff, etc. Everyone was very friendly and willing to do what they could to make my stay a pleasant one. I stayed in the West Tower. My room was a good size, nicely appointment, properly air conditioned and overall quite pleasant. Unfortunately---or was it?there was no cable TV service. I overslept missing my wake up call-----and would have missed my flight! The staff were on top of it. They came to my room to wake me up within about 15 minutes of my requested wake up. Now that great service and being on top of what is important. The variety of restaurants were very pleasant and of very good quality. The only drawback--we were at the end of the strip--but for $5.00 you could ride all day on the bus which made very frequent trips up and down the strip all night and all day. There is also a monorail near by. This place has got to be one of the better values for dollar on the strip. The hotel is pleasant, informal and quite busy. It lacks the 18 K Gold and the Crystal Chandaliers, but it also lacks that gold price tag as well. I was pleased that I didn't change my mind and stayed at Circus Circus. Good family hotel.
