Is Circus Circus Worth It? Honest Review, Rooms & Rates

Step right up to Circus Circus, a Las Vegas institution since 1968 and the Strip's go-to for families on a budget. The big-top theme is genuine: free circus acts perform daily on the Carnival Midway, and the property is attached to the Adventuredome, a fully indoor (and air-conditioned) theme park with roller coasters and rides.

Rooms are basic but cheap, spread across the Casino, West and Skyrise towers and the motel-style Manor Motor Lodge, and the casino keeps things lively. It sits on the quieter north Strip, but two genuine perks set it apart for families: free self-parking and the Adventuredome. Rates start around $22 a night before fees.

Know before you book: rates exclude a $45-plus-tax resort fee, about $51 a night as of mid-2026 — often more than the room itself — though self-parking is free for visitors as well as guests. The cheapest rates typically book into the Manor Motor Lodge, detached motel-style buildings a half-block from the casino with parking right outside each door. The hotel anchors the quiet north end of the Strip across from Fontainebleau; the mid-Strip casinos are a solid 30-minute walk, so count on the Deuce bus, which runs 24/7 from the stop out front, or the Las Vegas Monorail from the Sahara station about three-quarters of a mile north.

Insider tipBook the West Tower: it's the remodeled 35-story wing with the 'newly refreshed' rooms — and the only dog-friendly ones — steps from the lobby, shops and Adventuredome. The rock-bottom rates you see are usually the Manor Motor Lodge, detached motel buildings a half-block from the casino, worth it only if parking right outside your door beats being inside the main complex.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the resort fee at Circus Circus?

The resort fee is $45 plus tax — about $51 a night as of mid-2026 — added on top of the advertised room rate, and it covers in-room Wi-Fi. On the cheapest rooms that fee can cost more than the room itself, so weigh the all-in total rather than the headline rate when you compare it to other Strip hotels.

Is parking free at Circus Circus?

Yes, and that's increasingly rare on the Strip: self-parking is free for both hotel guests and visitors across three garages, while valet costs extra. If you book the Manor Motor Lodge, you also get self-parking right outside each detached building rather than a garage walk.

Where is Circus Circus and how do you get around from there?

It's at 2880 S. Las Vegas Blvd. on the quieter north end of the Strip, across from Fontainebleau and roughly a 30-minute walk from the mid-Strip casinos. To skip that walk, take the Deuce bus — it runs 24/7 from the stop out front — or the Las Vegas Monorail from the Sahara station about three-quarters of a mile north.

Which tower should I book at Circus Circus?

The 35-story West Tower is the remodeled pick, with the updated rooms, the pet-friendly rooms and the closest access to the lobby, shops and Adventuredome. The 29-story Skyrise sits near the pools and theme park, the original 15-story Casino Tower is right above the casino floor, and the detached Manor Motor Lodge is the cheapest but a half-block from everything.

Is the Adventuredome indoors, and is it open year-round?

Yes — the Adventuredome is the Strip's only fully indoor, air-conditioned theme park, with some 28 rides under its pink dome, so it runs regardless of the desert heat. The property's other water attraction, the outdoor Splash Zone pool complex, is the opposite: seasonal (typically spring through fall) and open to hotel guests only.
