Few legends have endured like Circus Circus Las Vegas, one of the longest standing mega-resorts on the Strip and the only one to boast the world's largest permanent circus.

not planet Riza ( from Star Trek) but definitely affordable

it's a huge old place and it's on the other side of the main Las Vegas strip so you can't just walk out and and see all the other buildings and shows by foot. you will need a bike or a taxi or a rental car. the staff didn't clean my room or make my bed or take out the trash once and i was there for five days. it takes a few days to really figure out the layout because things are spaced funny (parking garage vs. two different tower elevators, etc.). the buffet was average, but the customer service was good. there were friendly and knowledgeable people providing discounted show tickets and there was a quick gaming class mon-fri at 1030am. very family friendly place (if you don't mind kids smelling smoke) and very affordable, esp. compared to other big name hotels.

go see a few shows, but get the discounted tickets your hotel may be able to provide, instead of full price. and once at the show, if you want a better seat, just tip one of the ushers and they'll gladly help.

Always a good stay...

Felt the bed was a bit TOO soft so laid on the ground half the night. I'd suggest not doing the King Tower unless you like pillow beds.

Acceptable if you are on a tight budget

The check-in line was 15 minutes log when we arrived, the person who checked us in misinformed us about the free buffet coupon we received (turned out to be only valid at Circus Circus and not any MGM resort). The funbook you recive upon checkin did not include any good offers we would consider. We ate at the Circus Circus buffet but would not recommend it as for a few dollars more you may eat much better food at Harrah's or Planet Hollywood or even Riviera (across the street). First we did not like our room in the Queen Tower as it was filled with old furniture but we eventually got used to it (we were rarely there). The bathroom looked the most modern. The pool was nice, it's a long walk to the real happenings on the Strip but taking the bus is an option. Saw several fellow gays but it's mostly families staying in the hotel with kids.

Bargain stay; Free MGMShow Ticket a sham

Disappointment: Voucher for 2 free tickets to an MGM show was a racket; 866-867-9269 phone was off the hook (one ring, then busy), dozens of calls unanswered. Unusable!

Cheap price. Cheaper service!

When I checked in the hotel had my name spelled incorrectly in the computer. I waited for an hour while they found and fixed the problem. They blamed [...]for the mistake. I corrected them very quickly letting them know that no other part of my reservation was "misspelled." On the 4th day of my trip while cleaning my room housekeeping flipped the security bolt on the inside of my door leaving my door wide open for about 8 hours!! Thankfully nothing was missing. When I went down to the front desk to speak to a manager the response I got from the manager was " Oh. Sorry. Do you want security to walk you to your room?" I told the manager that what happened was unacceptable and unforgivable. She said "I agree. I'll tell housekeeping. Oh yeah; sorry."I would not recommend nor would I ever stay there again!!!!!
