    I just got back from Vegas where I stayed at the Circus Circus. I was alone and I felt safe. My room was absolutely spotless. Of course seeing the Sphere from my window made it all more enjoyable! I enjoyed the children's section and thought of my grandchild being here would love it!

    I love staying at Circus and so do my 2 sisters. I have never had a bad room. Yea it's not fancy but it's nice, clean and comfortable and that's all I'm looking for so I can spend my money on other things. And I like the atmosphere of the hotel. If you are looking for a more fancy room you will get a fancy price. My room has never been as dirty as you have.

    I have a running joke with friends "circus circus is awful awful". But on a serious note, I already have questions of ones parenting if they're bringing their kids to Vegas and ESPECIALLY if they go to circus circus. If you MUST bring your kids to Vegas, go stay somewhere else, not even on strip, and hit the midway on your own time. The last time anyone should have seen this place was "diamonds are forever" in the mid 70s

  • @mmasque2052
    @mmasque2052 6 місяців тому +5

    I agree Circus Circus’ rooms are in serious need of refreshing/refurbishing. Hopefully Ruffin will sink some money into the place to spiff things up. I’ve stayed there three times over the years from the original tower to the motel area out back and the tower that was added in the 90s. I have some fond memories from staying there. No, it’s not fancy; i liken the rooms to a Motel 6. Inexpensive most of the time, the biggest drawback was how remote it was from the busy areas on the Strip once places like Stardust and Riviera were torn down. With Resorts World and (very soon) Fontainebleau nearby, things might perk up for one of the last original resorts on the Strip.
    Oddly, when it was owned by MGM it was the most profitable property they owned. Which might be because they rarely spent any money on it.

    The only redeeming quality Circus Circus has (to me), is that I have never lost money there. Been to their casino probably 2 dozen different times, and every single time, I've walked away with more money than I arrived with. That aside, spot on review. The entire place smells like smoke, and not in a nostalgic faint whiff of cherry cigar kind of way either. I'm honestly surprised it's still allowed to remain open. I've never felt "unsafe" there, but I also avoid going there at night or early mornings.

    As someone who stayed at Circus Circus as a kid back in 2008, it seems to me based on this video it has gotten much worse (and it was very bad when I stayed there back then). The only hotel worse in Vegas than Circus Circus is OYO which is truly awful & takes the awfulness of Circus Circus & doubles it. I agree with Jordan that you can do much better on a budget with the LINQ, Casino Royale (basically Best Western) Elis Island & pretty much every hotel on Fremont Street all being significantly better than both Circus Circus & OYO.

Right away, my wife was saying how creepy it felt in there (and especially compared to the other hotels we walked through that week) and how dingy and dimly lit it was in there. We were so glad to get back to the Flamingo after that!

    Circus Circus is simply nostalgia to me. Seeing it brings me back to simpler, happier times in the mid 80s. I was 10 and my parents would walk me and my sister to the ramp or escalator that leads us up to the midway because kids were not allowed to walk near the slots unattended. We would have a $20 that we would exchange into 2 $10 rolls of quarters that would last us all day. My sister would play the midway games, Fascination was her game of choice to win silly stuffed animals. I would play arcade games, usually Dragon's Lair, Tron, Congo Bongo, Mario Bros, among others. I wish we could go back to these glory days, even for one day, and thank my dad for taking up there every summer. God, I miss my dad.

    I went there for New Years Eve with my family (almost all hotels near strip were booked or were overpriced). Please don't come here for New Years, it is not worth it. My god was it atrocious and, look, I'm not going to fault the hotel here but there was a long line for the elevator. I literally was standing in line for an hour after the countdown so that we could get to our rooms. My bed cover had stains of you know what on it and it looked fresh. Someone came in to clear it out, the blow dryer would not fit into the wall and the TV remote control was sticky with some kind of oil. It was gross but very affordable especially near the strip and on New Years. Still not worth it. As an Angelino, it reminds me of the Cecil hotel and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a history of murder based on the hallways.

The place is looking way better than it did 5 years ago and continually improving. Ruffin has plans to refurbish every room. But that takes a lot of time, not just money.

      @@Andrew-un8tx yes, it’s profitable now, which is exactly why Ruffin can’t sink a bunch of money into it. It’s profitable because there is so much deferred maintenance and virtually zero service or housekeeping. Renovating every room is going to cost a mint. If he puts half a billion dollars into it he has to raise the rates. If he raises the rates it’s going to flounder because nobody with the means to stay elsewhere is going to choose Circus Circus. Classic catch-22.
      It’s quite profitable now, but the place is literally falling apart and the gravy train isn’t going to last forever.

The Elevators were not working, and so we had to drag our butts to the stairs while we were taking from the higher floors (can’t remember what floor we were on). And yeah, it was a pain to do it just to arrive on a lobby or to get out of the hotel. It’ll be my last time to come to this hotel. Only reason if I really wanted to are the roller coaster rides, but I’d personally take the Stratosphere rides or New York New York roller coaster better. So long, Circus Circus.

    3:00 I just don't understand people trash talking the 90's. I much rather be in the 90's then 2020s where everyone's offended and on their phones. There definitely are valid criticisms in this video don't get me wrong but just the "uh duh the 90s want their decor back" seems very petty.

    Tip; do a review on the Tuscany. It used to be one of the best values. And it's a short cab ride to the strip. Like $10 with tip.
    Do NOT walk it. We did and almost were mugged behind the Flamingo.

    I’m coming in April for Sick New World, which is right by Circus Circus at the festival grounds. Some people are opting to stay there because of the proximity to the event. I opted for Harrah’s, because while I value budget-friendly options, I also value quality and safety. I’ve heard the legends about Circus Circus, and I’d never touch it with a 10-foot pole. Glad they at least gave you a refund on your room. I have no idea why anyone would bring their kids there. It’s not even a great part of town. I saw that you have to go through some alley to get to the pool. 🤨😑

    Took an uber there one time 2 years ago. Walked in made a loop around the place and walked right back out to the taxi stand.

The rooms look as bad as the lobby did. Gross.

But anywhere you go, you have to be cautious of your surroundings and anything you may see that sounds too good to be true. For previous trips to Vegas, I've stayed at properties that have an employee monitoring who goes in the elevator (some places are better at that than others), and I haven't had to deal with that crap.

    Well .. I have stayed at Circus Circus in 2011, 2016 and 2022. It *is* "on the strip," so *great* access to South Las Vegas Boulevard, and the interstates. In 2022, they now have electronic roulette. I think the dinner buffet is closed one or two days a week? Palace Station, just NNW has a Wing Stop in their food court; FYI. Just North of PS is a Pizza Hut with take out. I have never eaten in the CC Steakhouse, as the prices are $$$. I go to Vegas to "do stuff." *To me* - it is a bed to crash on, and store my clothes / shower in the AM. The price is right / cheap.

    Truthfully, this is not a surprise. Circus Circus has been a dump for a long time. In the 1980s, the place was disgusting and back then, it was already a twenty-year old hotel. Sticky carpets, half ass cleaning resulting in hairs and stains on the bed and in the bathroom, foul smelling hallways, tired rooms…I see not a darn thing has changed despite the attempted improvements. I was surprised to see it was still open when I was in Las Vegas back in November. Shocking that hotel this is part of MGM’s portfolio- the demolition team has got to be near by.

    • @ShowMeVegas
