Miss the old stage for the performers. Now they have a small stage that you can only be in front of. They are definitely making the place more modern and updating the kids area. I just wish they were more strict on the no smoking areas.
During my quick walk through, it seemed ok. The food court is underwhelming and the circus show was alright. Very average.
It's a good hotel for your money! The reason is not 4or5 it's because the last night we were there, our key wouldn't work, the security's keys wouldn't work, had to stand in the hallways for 30+ min at 2am in the morning to be able to get back in our room!
It was NOT very wheelchair friendly for our 9 yr old daughter.
We were there when we had to evacuate from the fires in Napa county. They gave us a great price for the week we stayed.
I drive for Uber and Lyft I pickup a lot of people and drop off as well at Circus Circus they all love the place as well as I do
I went to the casino because my husband wanted to gamble some money, but with our family we spent all night at the the kids arcade. By the time the kids were done playing (because they closed the arcade) we were all too tired to gamble.
I think Circus Circus is pretty cool. Especially for children and young adults. The arcade is super cool. Even as an adult it's amazing. The games are limitless.
Lacking the circus part of it was not the best. We're hoping for the roller coaster like in Vegas. But we got a midway you could find at any state fair.
Enjoyed our time with our kids. Hotel was a little busy but there was a big event and holiday weekend.
Had much fun dint win any money but we went to the canibus club they had bomb
Great Hotel with a nice casino and set of restaurants below. Nice view of Reno, even if it isn t Vegas.
It wasnt too crowded. Lots of fun games and awesome performances. Casino was pretty quiet. Attendants seemed kind of bored but were chill and explained how to win bigger prizes. We left with a monumental amount of stuffed animals. Also this place has the biggest margaritas Ive ever seen, absolutely delicious. Cant wait to go back.
Improving every year. Visit often to play in the new arcade above the mid way. Has Mario Kart, Pacman and some other fun titles. Good way to have fun sober or not. Friendly environment. It is located right next to the new food court.
The El Dorado, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus are all connected. The have ton of restaurants bars and gambling. Also Circus Circus had several fair games and an arcade. It was pretty fun place.
Even though we didn't get a room but you all did a awesome covid19 social distance.
Nice staff I get some drinks .
Free ...
Quick service
Nice sky tower room. Comfy bed but the pillows are too big.
It's a decent hotel. You're already in Reno. Location was great as it's a very short walk (3-5 blocks) to other casinos & the Reno sign.
Probably not somewhere to go if you have a lot of kids and dont have a lot of money. My dad spent at least $120 on the 3 of us just for the little bit of time we were there, and thats only for the games. I thought the room was fine but my grandma kept complaining the whole time. In the hotel room the bathroom was very nice and the beds were soft but I did wake up in the middle of the night because the air was loud but not too bad. Overall we all had a great time and it was fun!
Good location. Rooms are clean but lacks basic facilities like a microwave and the coffee kettle. These are essential when traveling as a family with little kids.
I expected some circus themes in the rooms but that wasn't the case.
Lousy service went with my wife she has 3 torn ligaments in her foot. Help desk did not inform us of the way to the room. The way to the room floor was so rough the bumping made her foot swell. The gap on the tram got the knee cart stuck. Couple spots no ramp access so she had to walk on stairs. If disabled do not go here not frendly or helpfully and lacking access.
Slot machines are TIGHT AF! I play slots all over Northern California and northern Nevada from small locals casinos to the big 6 ie, GSR, Atlantis, Peppermill and the big 3 downtown so believe me when I tell you, stay clear of their machines...your welcome!
As for their hotel, it s the Circus. So don t expect too much and you won t be disappointed. All joking aside their renovated rooms are nice, new food court that replaced their buffet is decent and convenient. I guess I still come here for the nostalgic memories of when we use to visit as kids so no matter what the Circus will always have a special place in my heart.
Great place for kids and teens to have fun. The arcade games are fun and the shows are entertaining too. Lots do to here.
The rooms were very comfy and clean. Nice window view. I enjoyed my stay here
Amazing experiance, I mean there is fun for everyone here. It's a little pricey, but if you watch prices like a hawk you will get some great deals! Definitely a go to spot for whenever I'm in reno because it connects to some great places like silver legacy buffet
Very fun environment we take the kids every year on our vacation to tahoe. It's just like "The Midway" from State Fair or local fair. They even have live shows right in the free for everyone to watch. Right below the Midway is a full adult casino that will finish milking your money away lol it's a fun place for adults and or kids.
Very negative experience. People on our floor smoked cigarettes and weed in their rooms all day and night. I called down repeatedly. They told me security would take care of it and NOTHING was done. No microwave in the hotel room and, even though we asked, housecleaning didn't come. The workers were nice but they weren't helpful.
**Response to response: I won't post private information on a public forum. I tried to email you and I got this error. I'm happy to have a conversation about my stay at your hotel. Feel free to email me directly.
Check in was quick and efficient. It had a great family orientated atmosphere. The kids loved the midway and acts. They had great dining options as well. Would stay there again.
It's your average Reno casino. It's well maintained and has the latest machines in all denominations. The Midway is always fun for the kids but I miss the days when the games used quarters. The swipe cards are a little too much for eager little ones.
Kind of got suckered by the price which is advertised really low, then add on resort fees after the original price, then somehow more resort fees while checking in...really hard to find anything, no signs stating where anything is. Staff was good. Casino really really smells bad of cigarettes, burns your eyes. The rooms were okay, sort of dirty, shower nozzle was maybe the worst one I ve ever experienced. Not really impressed for the money.
Great price for the newer remodeled room. I remember years ago, this hotel was always a 2nd class cheap room. Now it's a 1st class cheap room. Great place to stay, will be back.
The carnival games are fun but the tickets game especially the token with cards game is the best. Besides that, the lighting and prizes are pretty good.
Family get together in the convention center super food good time!
The biggest reason for only 4 stars is the beds. They are not very comfortable, and the pillows are just awful. The cable is also lacking. However, the shower is lovely, there are power outlets on the lamp between the beds, and the staff is great. Very small towels. The casino is fun but the cocktail waitress was never around (you get free drinks as long as you're gambling). El Jefe's is disgusting and the service is awful. The arcade is fun, but I expected a bit more from the little circus shows. They take place in the midway of the arcade, and it's just one little act. Impressive acts, but not what I expect a circus to be. We did not attend a paid cirque show, but I assume they would be better. There is a mini fridge in the rooms, and it works well.
The Circus Circus Midway is a pure Carnival gamble with Plush jackpots. Reno Blues Festival 2019
Fun. The midway here has lots games for kids. Bring your hand sanitizer for sure. There were sections that were walled off not sure why. Maybe not enough workers. Couldn't get to the skeeball machine. Other than that there were 2 circus shows while I was here with the kids. Fun place to spend an afternoon.
I haven't been to Las Vegas but if you have limited time and you are heading to San Francisco or bay area and if casino is in your bucket list then you definitely need to add Reno to your list. We went on Saturday night and all the casinos were filled. We stayed in circus circus, it's one of the casino among the three giants which hosts its own casino. A perfect place to stay and enjoy in a casino.
Easy check-in and check out.Rooms were good, what else one might in need of. One drawback which I thought is number of boards were very less and casinos were all filled with digital ones which seems to be slightly bothering. All the bar and restaurant were good. Even if you want to take a walk , best time is to go after 10PM . You can have a good view of the lights .
The row is all integrated and you can move between all the 3 casinos . They too have play area like arcade games for little kids . Please note children are not allowed inside the casino . You need to have alternate arrangements for that.
We loved this place more as this is only 50+ miles from Lake Tahoe and this was helping us to take rest after tiresome day in Lake Tahoe
Hotel rating- 3 stars
Don't go to this place if you want luxury
Lamp not working, bedsheet has hole, etc.
View was nice
Vending machine for soda and ice right next to hotel
No mini-fridge, safe, or microwave included with hotel
Hotel was OK for price, nothing out of the extraordinary
Casino and Arcade rating- 5 stars
Lobby was kid-friendly
There were great free circus shows included
Some coupons come with the hotel keys
You can easily win many stuffies with 10-20 dollars in the arcade
There is a tram to transport you to and from the three circus circus buildings, although you could easily walk
The restaurants in the hotel- panda express, piezetta (pizza place,) and others are all awesome. The pizza place costs 10 bucks for unlimited toppings pizza, and 8 for only one topping
You can make many memories
Btw, if you are with kids, there are two candy machines on the fourth floor (they will love it!)
Overall rating- 4 stars
If you had to choose between silver legacy, emparadado and this (and you have kids,) choose this because it is more kid-friendly
Overall location is nice.
Lake Tahoe is 1 and a half hours away from here
This is a great casino. One of the oldies and goodies. At 2018 Street Vibrations, they gave the bikers the second floor in the garage and put a security guard on the bikes 24/7. Wow! That was fantastic! The food was great and the employees were courteous. I go back often.
Room is fine. Housekeeping is excellent. Food at a few of the cheaper reastaurants, including The Habit (some healthy options as well) was surprisingly not too shabby. Everything else was poor. Tell me my room number, and lead me on a long excursion late on a Saturday night, because the clerk fails to tell me there is a separate Sky Tower with a separate set of elevators that is literally almost 1/10 of a mile away and no where near many of the hotel amenities. The shuttle I wound up trying the next day was pointless. You jump on and then wait, and wait.... then proceeds to go maybe 5 mph to get you between buildings. It s faster just to walk. So why bother?! Called room service 3 times over 15 minute span and on a weekday after most vacationers had left. Nobody picked up. The elevators took forever on many occasions and too many workers slowing them down to go floor to floor doing doomed kind of remodeling: not to mention painting, blocking entry to doorways to get to the garage. Difficult to get your bearings as well trying to find where you were parked. I guess the degenerate gamblers weren t as bad here though once I started exploring the downtown region by foot between the college campus and Riverwalk. What a dump Reno is! Times Square in the old days wasn t this seedy!
I've been coming her since I was 5 years old and I've made so many memories here. There are lots of choices for food, and plenty of entertainment. I earned this little guy at the arcade :)
The room was great and had a fantastic view. Very comfy beds and beautiful bathroom. We enjoyed the food court and arcade area, although I missed having a buffet there. Overall a great visit though!
this place is great for kids. the rooms are good. Housekeeping maids are good with providing stuff that are needed.
bathrooms inside the rooms were cleaned OK, despite finding pubic hair in bath tubs and nose hairs in the sink. the bed sheets on one of my beds stunk like the body odor from whom ever used it last. luckily we were only staying for a night due to the recent snow fall, 2-21-2017, that had us stuck there.
my family and kids were there two nights prior to the snow fall and that room was OK too. crumbs of crackers and food were found near the bed but we were able to get past that.
I kinda miss the ice cream shop that they used to have, but I really like the new food court. Habit burger is a great place to shop by for a delicious hamburger or chicken sandwich.
Really fun place! This place is just the best after playing in the snow or whatever you did during the day by having even more fun inside! Especially the midway that had a renovation way overdue and done when eldorado bought it out from MGM! They did a fantastic job of turning around the casino as if it was an episode of hotel nightmares without Gordon Ramsay! Speaking of which, they also updated the food! Sure, there isnt the steakhouse or the buffet, but thats okay because replacing all of that is panda Express, renos only Habit i can see and a pizza place! While surely its not the same how i remember it it used to be, they got really strong public wifi and new games which im sure younger people will enjoy it as much as i when i was little!
Nice room, dining options, casino, kid friendly, alot to do under one roof.
This is a great place to bring the kids. It has a wonderful buffet. the floor has a great kids area. with carnival style games for the kids.
Fun place to take the kids, especially on a really hot day
Great location near all the rest of the casinos. Rooms are decent but nothing special. Service was friendly and fast but my room was missing the do not disturb sign. Decent and cheap, I recommend
Stayed here once. The reason is the hotel is horribly set up and hard to navigate, and was overpriced.
one of the best casino experience. and love their circus.
The staff was great. They were friendly, courteous and helpful. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I was fortunate to be located on the side with nice views to the north. It was a nice stay.
Stayed here for Christmas and We had the best time ever. Great place for the whole family. Adults and children love playing all the games. The staff was wonderful! Very friendly and helpful. Can't wait until we can go back.
Circus Circus is a great place to stay when in Reno. The rooms are modern and comfortable and the service is wonderful. Initially the parking garages are a bit confusing as there are no signs pointing towards the guest registration area until you are on the 2nd floor of the garage. Other than that, the hotel is great.
Found the accommodations excellent. The casino has a nice entrance that does not smell of smoke. And the restaurants inside we're quite nice.
Don't come here. The rooms were $155.00 and they were not that great. They tried to update them but did a horrible job. Also, the casino has no table games. Yes you read that correctly, not a single table game. No blackjack, three card, craps, roulette, nothing! Spend your money elsewhere this place was so disappointing!
Pretty nice place. I only dipped in to play blackjack for an hour or so. Didn't do that good but that's not their fault (sort of). The dealers were friendly and the other patron weren't jerks. Would gladly go back.
So Circus Circus is really accessible from the streets and parking garages. The monorail leading into the casino is pretty efficient, two parking garages with plenty of space. The inside is nice enough, nothing too spectacular. Exceptionally clean, to be honest my only complaints is that the whole scene is a tad bland.
Rooms are good, free WiFi and good beds. Bathroom comes with shampoo and conditioner. Shower pressure is good. However no exhaust fan for the toilet.
Very disappointing! Drive through inclement weather to get here, only to find out there are no circus acts like their website says. When I asked about it they said that the circus workers' contract was done at the end of the year, so they don't do it any more.
This was the only reason we drove all this way! Please do not spend your money to travel here. They do not keep their website up to date. We easily could have not left town and taken the kids to Chuck E Cheese for minimal cost and same entertainment.
Can't believe how crazy busy this place is at midnight!!! The Row is a happening place.
Was there this past weekend for three nights with my wife. During our stay we got some serious bug bites from the room and complained to management. They did nothing for compensation or really cared about our troubles. Would not recommend anyone or family to stay at that establishment. Save yourself the trouble and stay somewhere else. If you have kids please stay away from this place. On one note circus circus is owned by Eldorado so I would probably think you would have the same experience there as well.
The room was clean and comfortable. The boutique shop was extremely overpriced, $25 for 1 beer and a small pony of champagne:( worse than a slot machine.
Our family of 4 stayed... 2 adults 2 kids.
Had everything you could ask for..
So much fun.
The views from the 26th floor were awesome ,and the river is near by.
The only thing I could have asked to be different is having the children's arcade on the bottom floor instead of right above the open airway where the cigarette smoke from the adults casino passes through.
Not a smart layout plan..
i am in thier everyday having fun and seeing friends
The front desk staff were amazing, so polite and helpful, no problems, the extra fees on top of the room rate was a little too high and my view was not really worth the price I paid
Amazing I love the enthusiasm here and they make everyone at home
Really nice remodeled rooms, modern and clean. Food court could be better. A bit disorganized and not the most clean kept area. Overall, nice and would stay again.
Clean, newly remodeled. Updated everything. Its amazing and a blast. Even the prizes are worth playing for!!! New food options and 2 ace sushi buffets.
I had not been here in many years, but I don't recall the games costing quite that much ($1-$2ea) if anything. I think they used to be free. I'm speaking of the Midway games upstairs above the casino. Even though they do charge now to play the games it is much more fun to actually play a game and pretty much guaranteed a win at some point, then at the casino part which I generally throw money away at. Also the performance area has been cut way down. it used to be quite large overhead and they've cut that about in half and also made a stage below. Still entertaining but not quite so exciting. They have updated the casino area and the rooms and they're quite nice and clean. This is still the best place on the whole strip to bring children. My grand kids had a great time and brought home a bagful of stuffed creatures! (Most of which they will be donating, as was the deal beforehand)
Got here last night and expected to get the bottle of spirits that was supposed to come with my stay. When I asked about it the lady at the front desk told me I got the room for 35% off? Which was not true I paid full price for the room. Other than that the room was fine.
The midway is a very fun place for kids of all ages. Fun carnival games, pretty good prizes. It is a little pricey, BUT the FREE circus acts, every make up for that.
Anniversary should be better! Requested a king sized bed, got two queens instead. We wanted an experience with what we requested...not what they wanted us to be in. Should have gone elsewhere! Nicotine stains are bleeding through the paint, slow drains and the mattresses are to be desired they are so worn. Should be a one star for the amount we paid in equivalent to the quality of the room. Could be better.
This is one of the nicer hotels in Reno. However, it's not that nice. It needs a good update. And since it is one of the few hotels that offer entertainment other than gambling and drinking, this place is always crowded. Reno is not that fun anymore. Unless you are there to drink and drink and drink, then not fun....
The family center is a great place to take the kids, so much to do.
Fun place and nice and cool tempiture inside not hot like some other places!
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.
The service was great but the beds were uncomfortable and the sheets are thin. Bring your own blanket if you plan on being warm
Service at inside restaurants was A+, the family had a great time. The new expansions to the place are great, and its improved alot over just a year.
Circus Circus is an awesome hotel! It is connected to the Silver Legacy and The El Dorado so you won't have to exit to explore the other hotels. They have shops and restaurants all in one roof! The hotel is very kid friendly. There are parlor games and arcade to entertain the little ones.
Super fun to go with family! Prices are pretty high though. Overall, great family experience!
We had a wonderful time even during the pandemic. It was a major highlight for my kids. Look forward to going back when we can see the shows!
