Circus is old & nasty, cardroom too. Lot's of children running around hotel, trailer park in the parking lot. Stay away from this place.

Best bang for the buck strip experience, in my opinion, is the MONTE CARLO. For probably $40-$60 more than circus, you're in a quality high-end but not overpriced strip property with very nice rooms, location, casino, food choices etc. It has a decent poker room but if you don't like it, there are others nearby.

Don't spend a special occasion like that in Circus Circus. Ick.

Its been a couple years since I've been there and I don't recall what pricing looks like, but I second the Monte Carlo. Great location (do they still have the tram that runs to the Bellagio).

ALSO... My wife tells me that their SPA is FANTASTIC!!! It is an excellent trade off of time (sweetie, you go to the spa for a few hours, get a massage, enjoy the amenities and I'll play poker for a while. Call me when you get back to the room and I'll come up and ....)
