Review of Circus Circus Reno

The place smelled like nasty smoke mixed with air freshener everywhere, including in the Midway. The DDR game in the arcade area doesn't actually play any music, likely because of broken speakers. Employees in Midway looked very, very unenthusiastic, like they would much rather be doing something else. The Midway act schedule is misrepresented on the Circus Circus website. The schedule for Saturday states "Circus Acts - Every 45 minutes beginning at 11 am." Calculating this out, there should have been a show at 4:15 and 5:00. However, the actual shows lined up on a different schedule, and the show we hoped to watch at 5:00 was actually at 6:00, throwing off our entire schedule. The show schedule needs to be posted online. Despite all that, the actual show we watched (Trapeze) was really quite nice.
