    Circus Circus Steakhouse not having to hire a new employee in 23 YEARS is absolutely mind blowing!! They obviously have not only incredible management, but their employees must be treated with respect and treated VERY well in order for them to have that sort of loyalty. The employees are probably much more like a close family than they are coworkers.
    If I am ever in Vegas again, there’s no chance I will miss going to that steakhouse!!

    As a kid my dad took me here almost every summer. I am quiet familiar with this property, I stayed here one time as a adult and how things changed from when I was kid. This was about 10 years ago, while it was under MGM ownership. From your video I saw a lot of changes under the new ownership, they are small but still it looks like the ownership group is trying to improve the property. I hope they succeed, just so I can still have my memories of Vegas as kid remain in place.

    I stayed in this Hotel for several years... all the way from 14 year old teen to maybe 23, and from my experienced, from 2003 to 2009 were the best years without a doubt. Everything was open everyday, and that automatically made it so much better. I stayed again when i was about 27 or 28 so about 5 years ago because I was nostalgic like Jacobs said, and never again... This place is not even close of what it used to be.

    Having just stayed at C.C. at the end of Feb. ,I agree with Jacob. It's classic Vegas, catering to families and young people. My first time staying at C.C. was 1989. Celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary, my wife and I fell in love with this hotel. We returned in 2010 and 2017.
    Now our 44th anniversay, we came back and had a wonderful time. Our room on the 14th floor was clean and comfortable. It suited our needs. The employees were great. The food court was a nice addition to the property. And the only casino with coin slots. That sweet soind of coins clanking was awesome. Too bad Slot-a-fun never came back. The employee at the gift shop at Slots informed us on how the pandemic led to the downfall of Slots. We will back to Circus Circus soon.😊

Skateboarding was super popular and my brother, some friends and i had a great idea to hop the fence to skate in the park. Not long after exploring the park on our boards, we were being chased by security. We all got away. Back to skating around town and cruising the midway looking for girls. The good old days.

    Circus Circus was the first hotel I ever stayed at in Vegas. It was 1973 and part of their ad campaign was that "They always had a room open!" so I didn't make reservations. Drove from the DC area to Vegas and had a pretty good time there. Also back then Slots O Fun was the old lady place, penny slots (real penny slots) and they wore white gloves that turned black from the pennies as they fed them into the slots. Had a pretty good time there, went back in 1978. After that I pretty much always stayed downtown.

While camping, watch the water you drink. I ate at the Circus Circus buffet and got Giardia diarrhea just like camping. It took antibiotics to kill that bug. The heavy lingering cigarette smoke feels like a forest after a fire. I don't go camping and I no longer stay at Circus Circus.

    I like Circus Circus in the sense that is north of the strip and alternatives to gambling. It's one of the resorts you see a lot of families booking during the Afternoon. The free circus show is a nice highlight being a resort along with the amusement games.
    I think resorts south of the Strip going to be more adult orientated like the Aria and Cosmopolitan.

    We used to be regulars at the Westward Ho until it was closed and demolished in 2005. We brought a bunch of family members down for my parents 50th that winter so the consolation prize was staying at Circus Circus. Back in the 80s and 90s it used to be a fun area with the Westward Ho, its back casino on Industrial called The Ho, Slots a Fun, Circus Circus, The Riv etc. 2 and 5 dollar blackjack all gone now, just Circus Circus left with 10 and 15 dollar tables.. We bought a timeshare in 2009 so don't use hotels much any more. I gotta admit after 35 years of coming to Vegas I didn't find this trip to be much fun.

    OMG Jacob, that bathroom was totally disgusting, just lazy housekeeping. Before i unpack i always do a thorough room check, in case i have to change rooms, which has happened quite a few times. I can deal with wear & tear, but nastiness i just can't. All the renovations in the world won't help if your staff can't properly clean a room. Great video.

Love how you get some great behind the scenes with the kitchens etc! Doing an in depth video like this for each Strip and Fremont Casino & Resort would be so awesome for visitors to have to compare and contrast. And Circus Circus is a good starting one! Been really loving the major and highly noticeable bump in your production and editing in the past few videos! Who ever your new guy/gal is, keep them!

    Thanks for the video, I stayed in the manor house in 2019. I guess you missed to mention two available nice features for families staying at the hotel, the adventuredome fair ground and the water park.
    However one of the cons is the manor house is too far from hotel entrance so you have to walk down a very long distance to get in and out of the hotel.

    last time I was in Vegas was 2016, we went to the Peppermill across the street, and walked over to circus circus. Wandered around the arcade, and the slots area. It looked and smelled dirty, watched one free trapeze show, which was cool and left. Outside felt sketchy and not safe. Sounds like they've done a few cosmetic changes inside. but nothing has really improved. Shout out to you for being positive about this property. But I will forever avoid this place. I will however be looking to staying at the el cortez suites after watching your video on them.

      @@kmauryo I remember when Vegas actually had all you can eat buffets (downtown) for 99 cents. The food was definitely mediocre, and it was at midnight, but if you were hungry and didn't have much money it was the place to go. Sadly, they were pushed out when the Mob got pushed out of Vegas and replaced by corporations. The corporations figured out that pretty much the only people who ate at the 99 cent buffets were non-gamblers, almost all locals who didn't come to gamble - and for the mob the casinos were largely money laundering places. Now you can still find 1.99 sirloin and eggs at the Nevada Palace and in the Sienna Cafe at the Suncoast.

I have stayed at this property several times after that, and each time we experienced something similar to what you experienced. I like to visit the property and take in all the festivities but that's about it. We usually stay downtown or at a Caesars property.

Thanks for the update and I would say they are skipping on the house keeping with hiring less personnel. What you experience is inexcusable. I do visit for business and personal, but as a Hilton Honor member, staying in one of the Hilton hotels or vacation property.

    I went to Vegas last year, which I honestly don't remember going to prior. Within the first five minutes, I saw a pack of small dogs roaming independently. A homeless guy took off his shirt, screamed, then ran as fast as he could without assistance. A group of tiny drug dealers asked me, "what do you need?" As if it was perfectly fine to do transactions in front of kids and cameras. A lady addictively took up a row of slots as her family slept on the floor on top of each other. Thirty minutes later, I felt as if I was back in Detroit.

    Jacob, Sanitation from poor plumbing issues in toilet to dusty bed frame, tables, unclean sinks, unclean dusty, drawers, where dirty left over clothing’s by gusts, Housekeeping do not do everyday room service, so stained dirty bedsheets, towels, washcloths, damp towels hanging as soon as you check in and and has to call for PM Supervisor to witness the dirty room flagged as “”😂Clean room.” but in reality “ it was flagged by same PM supervisor the night before for day shift “” As dirty room vacant for cleaning “”, but someone made a bad room clean up and did not clean properly. The same Pm supervisor has to witness the dirtiest room and apologized for mishap from housekeeping employe. If ever I check in at Hotels like Circus circus we bring our own Sanitizer even their own employe told us to do so for he/ she does not trust Housekeeping Dept. Also the Elevator , you should film the elevator during summer. Dirty, smears and one working elevator, only one out of few elevators working during part of 2022 summer. Next time do film video on Main Casino tower. Also they do not change bedspreads or brown/ beige blankets. Undo the tucked in corners of bedsheets. Hidden dirts, stains ,hairs, etc. I’m proud of you for doing this video and speaking up.

    As many others, I have nostalgia for this place. My parents took me to Vegas many times as a kid and most of the times we stayed here or somewhere close to CC. So I do have a soft spot for this casino and I'm glad they are making the effort to upgrade the place. In my adult life, I have booked CC for some of my Vegas trips and have faced some, but minor, issues while staying there, but nothing extreme and would always be glad to visit there, but probably not staying there anymore. The Midway is still very fun.
    Anyways, nice video and yeah, all those reviews can't be lying. I won't defend this place despite my nostalgia for it, they do deserve that reputation, but I am glad they are investing on improving.
