This was our 5th visit to Vegas but our first time staying at Circus Circus. Previously we stayed at Stardust (twice but now demolished), Key Largo (now closed) and Barbary Coast (now name changed). Enjoyed every minute of Circus Circus. The room in the Skyrise Tower was very comfortable. Check in and out was very smooth. When checking in asked for a room with a view of the Strip but the receptionist said there weren't any available however when we got into the room it had about the best view of the strip you could get from Circus Circus.

All the staff were friendly. Did have a car and managed to get out and about. Went to a lovely little vineyard at Pahrump and out the Henderson and Red Rock Canyon as well as plenty of walking. The Duece day pass is excellent value and it lasts 24 hours not just for the day you buy it.

Travelled for the first time with US Airways from Manchester UK via Philadelphia and the flights were all excellent. In fact I think they were the best transatlantic flights we have taken. After all the negative comments about US Airways was very pleasantly surprised.

THIS PLACE IS A DUMP, we had to go thru several rooms to get satisfied enough to at least stay on. Every corner you turn someone has their hand out...A complete milking in everything from the double the quoted room price to the 12 bucks to use the internet each day, no mail service and 5 bucks a pop to receive a fax. The place is old so the deterioration was explainable, the lack caring staff and general lack of enthusiasm makes the place a horror to have to go home to each evening, the cigarette smoke is so bad in the casino we couldnt gamble there, we had to gamble elsewhere.

Lets face it with the face of vegas constantly changing it might be time for circus circus to do the dynamite thing and rebuild and move into the modern age. Oh the Buffet was okay not the best rated in vegas as they claim

Big big big hotel. The hotel has everything: a circus, a horror dome, an adventure dome, restaurants, shops, a swimming pool and of course casino's.

Our room was very spacious with two large beds and a large bathroom. Everything was clean and although lots of rooms were occupied during our stay, we never heard our neighbours.

The hotel is situated at the beginning of The Strip so it takes a walk to get to the other casion and hotel attractions at The Strip. But then you can always take a taxi.

This was my second stay at this hotel, and it was fabulous!!!

Check in was quick, and after making a call to the hotel some weeks before to request conjoining rooms, they told me it would depend on the availability on the day. Lucky for us we got one. In the main tower on the 10th floor. We had a re-furbished room, which was very comfortable and very clean (it was very clean the 1st time anyway too)

Hotel staff were great, and we always seemed to end up with the nicest (the staff that get the taxi's for you, are these doormen??)

We did mile and miles of walking everyday, went to almost every hotel during our stay, saw most of the attractions, and walked to the sign (which seemed a lot closer this tme)

An example of how great the staff were, one evening i had a fall in the Hotel room which resulted in me being taken to hospital to hve stitches, but the hotel staff were fab! They sent security to the room first to assess the damage, then the sherrif, the the paramedics. They knew we were messing around in the room, but not once did they judge us, nor did the paramedics. I recieved a letter from the hotel today passing on their best wishes in my recovery. Something i wasnt expecting at all.

We flew with Virgin Atlantic, which i had done before, and have never been too keen on them anyway. But out outbound journey was horrendous!!! something you dont want at the start of your holiday. The service was terrible. We were served our 2 bitesize meals, but only once offered beverages after this. On a 10 hour flight i feel this is awful. When my friend found a hostess and asked for beverages he was told he had to wait until they had their break. I understand they need a break, but they were ALL on break at the same time, The hostesses werent even friendly either. Our return journey was much better.

I have no other grumble what so ever about this holiday. But as i plan to return again in a couple of years, does anyone know of any other airlines that fly direct as i dont fancy flying with virgin again.

Had a fab time!!! Will definalty go back and stay @ Circus Circus!!
