The West Tower rooms are very nice and clean. Maid service was great and they were more then happy to change the sheets when requested. Plenty of clean towels everyday. Large rooms huge bathrooms and a great view of the strip. While there were lots of children, because it is Circus Circus, we did not see any unattended children and they were not running wildly thru the hotel. All the staff was more then helpful and made the stay much less stressfull. Short walk to all the bigger hotels and casino's and lots of things to see and do. The food was better then average with little or no wait time to be seated.
The only complaint I have is that while walking thru the hotel and even down the street there are people who try to sell you time shares and sightseeing tours. You can't walk 20 feet anywhere in Vegas without someone trying to sell you something.
All in all, if we ever went back to Las Vegas I wouldn't mind staying here again.

First off, Circus Circus is towards the end of the strip where the older hotels are. The area around the hotel consists mostly of buildings that are marked for demolition, so it is a fair distance to walk to further down the strip to some of the nicer casinos.

The food at most of the restaurants is overpriced and bland. We received a coupon for buy one/get one free at the buffet which made it a fair deal, but we would have been angry to have to pay full price. McDonald's was the best deal in the casino.

Our room was on the top floor of the West tower, which has been remodeled recently. There was miscellaneous items in some of the corners from previous occupants and the wall safe was a joke where you had to pay money every time that you needed to lock it. We could easily hear the activities of the occupants in the room next door.

The most annoying portion of the entire trip was that Circus Circus allows time-share sales people to harass their guests with four stations located throughout the hotel. It was common for us to have to brush off three sales people every time that we would leave our room, and some of them didn't simply take no for an answer.

We went during Halloween/SEMA, and their Frightdome was interesting, but not worth the 25 dollars per person that we paid.

Dear god... the check in was like waiting in line at the carnival... 45 min, lines about 50 deep. We got stuck in their ghetto project housing... motel 6 type bunkers 1/2 mile from check in, with paper thin walls. Seriously low rent, swamped with complete families... typical 5-12 ppl per family all with screaming kids. If you value your sanity avoid this place like the plague.

We stayed at the Manor rooms at Circus Circus for 4 nights and were very pleasantly surprised considering all the negative reviews.
We arrived in the early evening and check in was quick & efficient.
The Manor rooms are separate from the main hotel complex but there is a walkway inside that takes you almost all the way though it did take us a day or so to locate it!
The room was non-smoking and was very fresh and clean with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was spotless cleaned every day with fresh towels provided daily and the sheets were changed during our stay.
I can't really comment on the restaurants or the pool as we ate elsewhere and did not manage to have a swim but there was a good atmosphere at the hotel with the added attraction of free circus acts.
Check out again went very smoothly despite our doing our best to confuse the receptionist she kept her patience.
I also stayed for a night at the Luxor Hotel which was 5 times the price per night but did not compare.
We are from Ireland and I think that it would be very difficult to find a hotel room anywhere in Ireland for the equivalent of $40 per night and definitely not of this quality.
