 | Circus Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno: Great Value

I booked a quick surpise trip to Reno with my husband and we really enjoyed our stay. The reviews I had read about Circus Circus were mixed so I wasn't sure what to expect. We got there and check in was a LONG wait. I think it must have just been bad timing. After what I am guessing was 30-45 mins we were in our room and everything forgiven. Our room was clean enough, standard bed, table, 2 chairs, armoie, tv, ect. Not fancy (like maybe some people expect, hense the bad reviews) But it was fine for us, and had a good view. We headed down to the slots and had a great time, gambled for 2-3 hours and only spent $5 total. Although striking it rich is always on the back of your mind, I was happy to have been entertained fairly inexpensively. The rest of the stay was fine, we walked around to other casinos, but were happy to stay put at Circus Circus. Although we love children, we were a little worried that there may be to many of them running around. There were a few rowdy ones that seemed to just be riding the tram back and forth, but hey..they could be up to something worse right? All in all..enjoyed our stay and would return if ever back in Reno.
The circus...which I always seem to miss. But I am guessing its fun to watch! Plenty of fairway games for kids, Caters to children and families, but we enjoyed it as a couple too. There is a tram that runs from one side of Hotel/Casino to other, or you can just walk through the long corridor which might be a good idea if you have been to the buffet! The rates we got were great.. I think $35 with breakfast included for 1 queen bed. (we stayed in the less expensive tower, which is older, but was fine.

 A room in the Circus Circus by SteveOSF
When I recently booked a room at the Circus Circus I was a little apprehensive as I expected this older hotel to be a bit run down with slow elevators laden with baby strollers. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the hotel.
The room was a decent size and clean. The hotel is conveniently connected to the casinos. A bridge connects the Circus Circus to the adjacent Silver Legacy Casino. A rail car is located on the second floor that delivers guests from the rear building to the main building on Virginia Street. The hotel has free parking for its guests.
My only complaint with the Circus Circus was that it had extremely bad coffee at its main coffee shop. This made an otherwise acceptable breakfast at the 24 hour restaurant quite distasteful. But fortunately, a coffee kiosk was located in the lobby near the elevator that served a nice, but more expensive, cup of coffee.
The Circus Circus is not the Ritz, but it still represents decent value for your hotel dollar, especially mid-week.

| Circus Circus Hotel and Casino-Reno: Cheap & close to everything

Just returned from Reno (2/10/07) and while I was not impressed with Circus Circus, the price was great ($39/night) and it is very close to everything downtown. In fact, it is attached by walkway to the Silver Legacy and the El Dorado (both much nicer and more expensive).
So in addtion to the 6 restaurants Circus Circus has, you can also enjoy the other hotel's many spots without ever going outside. This is good, because the neighborhood is a little rough.
Ate twice at the Steakhouse and was impressed with their early bird special. From 5pm to 6pm you can get an 8 oz prime rib with the trimmings for $11.99. It was so good I went back the next night and had it again. Great wine list also.
Had the breakfast buffet twice and thought it fine. Especially the free one :). The hotel also has a pizza place, a sushi bar, a deli, and the Americano Cafe, none of which I tried.
The one thing that bothered me a lot was the cigarette smoke in the casino. I'm not one to notice such things usually, so you can be assured it is bad. Low ceilings and ancient air circulation combine to make it nasty. Up on the second floor next to the Midway is a non-smoking area with only machines - no tables. You can work the slots and watch the circus acts above you.
Even if you smoke, I strongly suggest you don't ask for a smoking room - they reek so bad you can't breath in them.

Free shuttle bus runs every half hour from the airport.
