My buddy and I booked Circus Circus for four nights for our trip to Vegas. Since we are both taken it was a fine place to stay since there was no need to try to bring any ladies back to the room. Stayed in the Skyrise Tower, normal double beds and 19" tube tv with desk. Was a pretty basic room, slightly dated, only real complaint were the pillows that come with the bed.
Instead of eating at the hotel we instead ate lunch every day at the McDonalds right next door, probably the nicest McDonalds I have ever been to, plus it was cheap.
Gambling was nice and cheap with $3 mininums for Blackjack and Craps. Looks like the casino has hit on some hard times, one gambling table section was closed the entire time we were there. The other was only half open most of the time and Craps opens at Noon. Played most of the time at Slots O Fun which is the little building right next to and owned by Circus Circus. Never had a problem finding an open chair at a table or space at the Craps table until our last night, which was a Friday night. Slots O Fun seemed to get a little more business than the tables actually in the main Casino, though it does have easy street access which probably contributes to that.
The Deuce has a stop right in front of Slots O Fun, $3 for 1-way, $7 all-day, $14 3-days. Also has a stop on the opposite side of the street at the Riveria. Can get crowded, but since its one of the earlier stops there usually wasn't a problem.
Was a great place for a cheap room and cheap gambling as long as you don't mind all the kids running around while you make your way back to your room. Didn't have any problem with neighbor noise though, so that was nice.
