Step Right Up To A Carnival Of Entertainment At Circus Circus
Located about 4 miles north of Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), Circus Circus glitters in the heart of Las Vegas Boulevard, also known as The Strip. After taking advantage of the hotel's onsite parking — which is free for all guests and visitors — stroll through the old-school casino to the check-in lobby. Book a comfortably appointed Manor Motor Lodge room, starting at $25 a night, or elevate your stay with a spacious suite in the Skyrise Tower, starting at $100 a night, for a relaxing retreat high above The Strip.
On the ground level, you'll find a paradise of amenities like The Midway, which features over 200 thrill-packed arcade games for the whole family, and the Slots-A-Fun casino, an adult arcade filled with retro slot machines. Adrenaline junkies can have a blast on the Canyon Blaster — a twisty roller coaster that speeds up to 55 mph through the hotel's indoor amusement park, the Adventuredome — or explore great heights in The Sling Shot ride, which launches riders up to the top of Circus Circus before making a thrilling drop back down.
Arguably the resort's most famous attraction is its free circus acts. Held daily in the center of The Midway, witness high-flying trapeze artists, expert jugglers, and graceful aerial dancers showcase their most agile tricks with the greatest of ease.
