Throughout the day, professional acrobats, aerialists, jugglers and daredevils perform free live shows on the center stage suspended above the casino floor — a genuine circus spectacle at no charge.

Around the performance area sprawls a carnival midway with more than 200 games, giving families a fun (paid) follow-up to the free acts. Check the daily show schedule so you don't miss a performance. Free to watch.
