“Free circus acts and an indoor theme park on the North Strip”
Circus Circus has been a North Strip fixture since 1968, built entirely around family value: free circus acts over the casino floor, the indoor Adventuredome theme park, and some of the least expensive rooms on the Strip. There's even an RV park on site.
Quick Verdict
Circus Circus Hotel, Casino & Theme Park is worth considering for one clear reason: on-site family attractions uncommon at casino resorts. The main drawback is also important: condition and room experience vary substantially across the property.

Room Strategy
Which room should you book?
Best view
View labels are property-specific; confirm orientation, floor, and possible obstruction before paying more.

Verify the exact tower and room category against current property photos and renovation disclosures.
What the Booking Photos Don’t Tell You
The upgrade, location, and view reality
Upgrade worth paying for
Pay only for a confirmed renovation, useful location, meaningful view, or included service—not a vague premium category name.
Location reality
Map distance understates elevator, casino, bridge, and resort-corridor walking; trace the actual route to your priority attractions.
View trap
View labels are marketing categories. Confirm floor, direction, obstruction, and whether the named landmark is fully visible.
