“Mike O'Meara Show Event @ Circus Circus on 11/10/12”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

We stayed on the ninth floor and were impressed by the clean room and quiet atmosphere. Had a great night sleep. The non-smoking floor was just that NO SMOKE.

“It's cheap, what can I say?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

The rooms in the old part of the hotel don't have enough plugs for your computer. If you're on a budget and don't care about your room, this place is fine. The bed was really comfortable. The TV is old and barely responded to the remote control. The shower was remodeled and the shower head is way too low.

“Great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We paid $42 for a very large, clean, comfortable room and free undercover secure parking. OK view from 14th floor South Tower. Decor a little tired but clean and presentable. Bed was comfortable - maybe newer than other furnishings. While this is not the flashest casino (one of three related and connected casinos) it is fine if what you really want is a comfortable, very good value hotel room, as long as you don't mind getting a bit lost in your own hotel due to the sprawling layout - though this can also be fun! Check the book of vouchers they give you - we realised after we had paid for dinner that we had a voucher for one dinner as well as well as some other things we missed. Breakfast (not included) was good and reasonably cheap. Reception staff were extremely helpful with directions and advice. We saw Jersey Town - a Jersey Boys spin off - at the neighbouring Eldorado. Quality cast and the best seats at $45 each - probably not quite the same class as Jersey Boys as a total show but very professional and entertaining none the less and at least $100 a seat cheaper.

“5 night stay from Canada”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

We have stayed at the Circus Circus before.
This trip we were in the North Tower,over the Casino.
I had requested a HIGH floor,with the Group Tour company, and did another request via e-mail to the Circus Circus, Lucky, I did this, because our Room pkg.showed the 5th.Floor, then changed to the 17 floor. Thanks CC for doing that. But Unlucky for us it had an door adjoining next door.and people there,Had a Hugh fight,off and on from 11p.m. to 3 a.m. Not a good start to 5 night stay. Had to phone Security.
Next Morning , a nice girl at desk, informed me the people were still staying ANOTHER night, so she moved us. Thanks again CC.
Room was clean, a little worn, the South tower rooms are about the same.
We were happy with the CC., Until our Last night.. When we Noticed a VERY LOUD noise coming from (Again..adjoining room) . No one was In room.... Turned Out, they cleaned the Rug, and left a Blower Going.... NOT very nice CC. We asked them to Kindly turn it OFF and they did...I don't think they should have left a LOUD Machine going, when they Knew the room next door was Occupied,not good customer Service.

“Excellent Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

Stayed in Sky Tower on 27th floor. Check in was quick and easy. View from room was great. Room was small but clean. Many restaurants,shops and casinos available when walking indoors between the 3 hotels. Did not have chance to see them, but hotel has some free shows.
