We were able to book a great price for air and hotel for a family of four at the Circus Circus Las Vegas, in April 2009. This was our 4th time to Vegas, 1st time with the kids.
The hotel is one of the oldest hotels on the strip - and it shows. The front desk was very nice at check in but the service in other areas was terrible.
We requested a fridge upon check in and after numerous calls, it was sent to our room close to midnight the next day. FYI - the fridge was so beat up and loud that we unplugged it after a few hours. Rooms say they have been updated but even the nicer rooms are no comparison to some of the other cheaper hotels on the strip.
Just because the hotel is on the strip does not mean it is in a convenient location.
There is a shuttle pickup almost right outside the hotel but get there early otherwise you'll be standing in line for a long time. The double deuce is a great way to get around but lines are long at every stop. We paid a little more for a cab just so we didn't have wait so long.
Things I liked about the Circus Cirucs - McDonalds, Activities for kids of all ages
Dislikes - hotel (needs a makeover), location

We have been lots and plan to go more ! Great place! Loose Slots and great Service!

Do NOT for any reason eat at this buffet after 9 PM like we did!!! Friday night we met family for a late dinner and they decided they wanted to eat at the buffet because they served shrimp. Well, what wasn't burned was raw, the selection was very small not appetizing at all! The turkey was good and I stuck to that. Since it was closing time they were shutting down half of the buffet. Most of the partons were seated on the closed side while a couple of others were on the side where the food was served. You could tell that everyone wanted to go home...no one picked up our plates until they were stacked 6 or 7 high on our table. It was disgusting....

However, we stayed on the strip because we got a great price for three nights! $159.00. I didn't expect too much for the price... but our room was clean and we had great housekeeping, cleaned well every day. Our room was old and needed brighter light bulbs but was clean and the beds were comfortable. (15th floor in the Main Tower) The first night we gambled until 4 am and walked away with more money than we started with and that continued for the rest of the weekend. All and all it was a great stay, the buffet was really our only complaint.

As usual rooms in USA are huge for average Asian sizes like us. Room facilities are as per normal, nothing spectacular as compared to hotels in ASEAN & far east. The theme park is within a huge dome solely built for this uniqueness. Frankly, not many types of rides are available but could be a one day joy for children to spend. Plenty of restaurants but food are just so-so, could be better, & not cheap for a hotel on The Strip. Depending on the needs of families, I would only recommend this hotel to those whose kids enjoy thrill rides.
