This place is a horrible. as a world traveler who mistaken booked this room its far below the travel lodge. Its rooms are dated , musty and stink.

Myself and my new husband booked this hotel for our honeymoon and i will tell you its not a place for couples. There were kids running up and down the hotel like mad and the walls were like paper thin and we were stuck next door to a very loud family and we could hear everything. The hotel was clean at least but very basic, didn't like the food that much and the queues were crazy"but i suppose it was peak seasion", all in all we had a fab honeymoon, but just be warned if your looking for a romantic time a bit of peace and quiet don't stay in circus circus!!

We stayed at the Circus Circus M-Th the first week of December 2006. Although we had some concerns based on previous reviews, overall we had a very good experience. We didn't specifically choose CC. It came as part of an air and hotel package that we got a great rate on.

Parking the rental car was convenient. CC has two parkades but we were always able to either park on ground lot or parkade 1 and never had to walk more than 5 minutes to get to the hotel entrance. One minor complaint is that parkade 1's elevator was still out of service.

Check in on a Monday afternoon was fine. We were queue for about 10 minutes behind about a dozen groups being handled by about a half dozen clerks.

We stayed in a room in the West Tower on a high floor facing the strip. I'm not sure if the clerk saw the tip we were flashing so I'm unsure if we got the room just because we asked ("West Tower, high floor, facing strip") or because of the tip. We specifically asked for the West Tower because it's apparently the newest of the three towers. The room was pretty much a basic standard hotel room you'd expect from a chain. We were only there to sleep and wash up so it met our needs. The view of the strip was ok but there isn't a lot to see based on the location of the CC.

Location-wise, we were able to easily get to all the hotels on the strip, downtown, etc rather easily via the rental car. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the closest Tix4Tonight half price booth. The Slots of Fun casino is nearly attached to the CC. It has low limit table games which great for a low-roller like me. The Riviera is literally across the street. The area didn't feel too seedy even when I took a walk outside at 3am.

Gaming wise, we played a little VP and has some decent luck. However, we could not find any JoB 9/6 games. We didn't play any table games at CC. The OneClub loyalty card desk never seemed to have more than a 3 person queue. A problem my friends encountered was that when they signed up for the card, they were supposed to get some free credits for slot play. The system was down close to two days before they could get their credits. We also visited the Sports book to put some money on our local NHL team. We found better odds at other casinos. The sports book area was adequate. The atmosphere wasn't the greatest as it was small compared to other Sports books we visited and only had a handful of people in it.

We visited CC's Midway and Adventure dome. Both were quite dead. They pretty much had your standard amusement park rides and games.

Food wise, we didn't eat much at CC. We once grabbed a quick breakfast at the McDonalds in the Midway (even though we read in the LVRJ it was recently shut down briefly after a food inspection). We found the McDonalds fine (and quite popular). We checked out but didn't get a chance to eat at the CC Steakhouse. The decor was definitely old school steakhouse. Prices were a little higher than expected at around $40 a steak but still reasonable comparatively.

No billing issues. Maid service was fine. We also had to pay CC's $1 a day phone fee.

I think we avoided a lot of the potential issues by going during a relatively low period in early December and avoiding a crush of kids. NFR was occurring but it didn't seem to affect us other than seeing a bunch of cowboy hats and country music everywhere we went. All in all, I'd recommend staying at the CC for budget, low frills accommodations in Vegas IF going during low season.

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.
