Circus Circus

2880 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Directions)
Circus Circus Dr. and Las Vegas Blvd.

Located at the north end of the Strip, Circus Circus has been a favorite among families for years. With circus acts, rides at the Adventuredome, gaming and dining, this property has something for everyone.

Since its 1968 opening, Circus Circus has made it to the silver screen several time. It was a malevolent playground in Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a backdrop of foreign intrigue in "Diamond are Forever" and its famous clown marquee made an appearance in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery."

Circus Circus' biggest tourist attraction is its indoor theme park, the Adventuredome, featuring the Canyon Blaster, a double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster, guaranteed to make you scream. During the fall, the Adventuredome turns into the Frightdome, an all out haunted house voted one of the scariest attractions in the U.S.

The 107, 500 casino is an adult playground with live overhead circus acts like acrobats, trapeze artists, clowns and jugglers. Circus Circus features both casual and fine dining, like the award-winning The Steak House.

Aside from the nearly 4,000 guest rooms Circus Circus hold, the property also has a 400 spot RV park for visitors to park their home away from home.
