content: I remember back in the 80's, Circus Circus was the place to gamble and stay before the Mirage opened. Now, it's just a complete dump that had a few renovations over the years with the smell of piss as their hotel fragrance.\n\nThis hotel is on the same league as the Excalibur, Luxor, Riviera, and the Quad. Located on the north part of the strip in a bad area, I wouldn't walk outside towards the main part of the strip, (Caesar's Palace, Mirage, Treasure Island, Venetian, the Flamingo Hotel) but if you insist of walking outside at night to gaze in the Vegas lights. Stay with a big group and ladies, carry pepper spray if you're traveling alone. \n\nThe one thing I like about Circus Circus is the price and the cheap eats compared to the strip. Although the casino is not as fancy as the newer hotels, I love playing the clown slots and some of the staff was ok in terms of customer service. The clientele reflects the condition and price of the hotel. Entertainment options like the infamous, Free Circus Acts, the huge arcade, and the Adventure Dome (Formally the Grand Slam Canyon) are what draws me back to Circus Circus.
