Circus Circus Description
Located on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, Circus Circus has been a family favorite for years. With circus acts at the midway, thrilling rides in the Adventuredome and gourmet dining at The Steak House, this hotel has something for everyone.
Since opening in 1968, Circus Circus has appeared on screen in many films. It was a malevolent wonderland in Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and a backdrop to foreign intrigue in "Diamonds Are Forever." The quirky romance between Austin Powers and Vanessa Kensington blossoms in front of the iconic clown marquee in “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.”
Inside, the classic casino floor (some areas even still have the original popcorn ceiling) is an adult playground. Overhead, live circus acts – acrobats, trapeze artists, clowns, jugglers – perform around the clock, and a carnival midway offers games of skill and chance for all ages.
Accommodations are affordable and comfortable, including the motel-style manor rooms, which are located separately from the main building with their own interior corridor and security staff. Also, the Circus Circus is the only Strip property with an RV park.
A shopping promenade connects all areas of the hotel and houses several restaurants, including the casual Mexitalia and highly touted The Steak House. Throughout the property there are more than six places to grab a quick cup of coffee, while the casino is home to a remodeled, modern Casino Café (formerly the Pink Pony) and an enormous buffet.
Circus Circus also touts the largest space-frame dome in the United States, the Adventuredome, an indoor theme park featuring the Canyon Blaster, a double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster, guaranteed to make you scream.
A celebrated poker room, an intimate race and sports book, three pools and a unique rotating cocktail lounge round out the experience and should serve to reinforce any desire to run away and join the circus.
