Circus Circus Las Vegas, the iconic Las Vegas Strip resort and the city’s premier family-friendly destination, welcomes guests this summer to experience the Las Vegas that started it all: coin-operated slot machines, paper bingo cards, mesquite-grilled steaks, circus acts, Carnival Midway and a five-acre indoor theme park, all under one roof.
With weekend hotel room rates starting at just $28.95 and 25% off Adventuredome theme park tickets for hotel guests, and free parking on the Las Vegas Strip, the classic Las Vegas vacation is as alive and accessible as ever.
“Las Vegas has always been a city built on great experiences and even greater memories, and at Circus Circus we are building on what has made Las Vegas the entertainment destination for generations,” said Shana Gerety, general manager of Circus Circus Las Vegas. “Families deserve a summer they will talk about for years to come. Las Vegas can be exciting and fun without the costs overshadowing the entire experience.”
Beat the heat at The Adventuredome: Las Vegas’ only indoor theme park
Spanning five acres under a climate-controlled glass dome, the Adventuredome at Circus Circus Las Vegas is the largest indoor theme park in the United States and a must-see Las Vegas attraction for families with children of all ages.

El Loco – A high intensity roller coaster with a vertical drop
NebulaZ, Sand Pirate, Inverter and Twistin’ Tea Cups – excitement for all ages
Go-karts and climbing wall – Active adventures for older children and teenagers
SpongeBob’s Crazy Carnival Ride – Created by Sally Dark Rides and inspired by the beloved Nickelodeon animated series. This immersive dark ride takes guests into Bikini Bottom through vibrant sets, animatronics, special effects and projections. Riders join in on Mr. Krabs’ crazy carnival games while Plankton plots to steal Krabby Patty’s secret formula, a hilarious, sensory adventure that the little ones will talk about long after the journey is over
Arcade, carnival-style games, virtual reality experiences and an 18-hole miniature golf course
More family fun at Circus Circus Las Vegas
In addition to the Adventuredome, Circus Circus offers a full range of family entertainment throughout the resort – the kind that draws everyone away from their screens and experiences moments worth remembering:
The Midway – One of the most nostalgic spaces on the Las Vegas Strip, the legendary Circus Circus Carnival Midway has been bringing joy to families since 1968. With more than 200 arcade games – from retro classics that parents and grandparents will recognize to the latest developments in modern gaming – the free-to-explore Midway is one of the few places where multiple generations can share the same excitement at the same time. In the heart of the Midway, guests can watch free, world-class circus acts performed daily on the dedicated circus stage, a signature Circus Circus tradition that has been bringing people to their feet for more than 50 years.
The Garage – A fully immersive entertainment space featuring ‘Birdly’ virtual reality (VR) flight simulation, neon-lit mini bowling alleys and Full Swing Golf Simulators with multi-sport modes including golf, football, baseball, dodgeball and more.
Splash Zone — The resort’s expansive outdoor pool complex is the perfect Las Vegas summer getaway for families looking for a few hours of pure, unscripted fun. The water park features two swimming pools, whirlpools, a Splash Pad with interactive water cannons, drip trays and rain trees, plus a 15-meter-high slide tower with three slides: the Mat Racer, Aqua Tube and Speed Slide. Private cabana rentals and poolside snacks from the Splash Snacks food truck round out the experience.
Affordable hotel rooms in Las Vegas for families
With nearly 4,000 rooms – including lodge rooms, tower rooms, suites and an RV park – Circus Circus Las Vegas offers some of the most accessible hotel accommodations on the Las Vegas Strip. Weekend rates starting at $28.95, combined with the 25% Adventuredome discount for hotel guests, make it easy to build an entire family vacation around a few days of real, screen-free, memory-making fun on the Strip.
Classic Las Vegas is alive here: a nostalgic Vegas experience like no other on the Strip
For guests who remember Las Vegas before the mega-resorts and celebrity chef restaurants, Circus Circus has preserved something rare: the authentic, unpretentious spirit of the original Las Vegas. A stroll through the resort this summer reminds us that some of the city’s best experiences have always been its simplest, and that the Vegas that made people fall in love with this city is still alive and well.
THE Steakhouse – In a city where restaurants open and close with the seasons, THE Steakhouse at Circus Circus Las Vegas has earned something almost unheard of on the Strip: generational loyalty, both from our guests and our long-standing teammates. A longtime Las Vegas favorite, THE Steakhouse has been part of the Circus Circus story for decades, attracting generations of guests for parties, low-key dinners and the kind of memorable evenings that don’t require a celebrity name above the door. Steaks are grilled in the center of the room and served with classic combinations in a warm, intimate setting that reflects an era when dining was an experience to be savored. Open Monday to Friday 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM, Saturday 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM and Sunday 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM. Reservations possible via OpenTable.
Slots-A-Fun – In an era where Las Vegas gaming has become increasingly digital, Slots-A-Fun stands out as the only coin-operated casino experience on the Las Vegas Strip. A throwback to classic Vegas gaming since 1968, Slots-A-Fun features 100 coin-operated slot machines ranging from $0.25 to $5, with the retro sounds of clinking coins and flashing lights that feel like a time capsule from the city’s golden era. The experience is completed with bar staples priced like Vegas used to cost them, $2 draft beer, $2 hot dog, $2 shrimp cocktail and $2 popcorn. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and just steps from the Las Vegas Strip.
Bingo — Circus Circus is home to the only bingo room on the Las Vegas Strip, a purely analog, paper-based, draft-in-hand experience that has all but disappeared from the modern casino landscape. The sessions take place on Fridays at 5:00 PM, 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM; Saturday at 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM; and Sunday at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. Tickets start at $30 per session.
