Circus Circus sometimes gets a bad rap. But this family-friendly hotel has been around since 1968, and there’s a lot to love. Here are 10 things we love about Circus Circus Las Vegas, and we don’t care who knows it.<\/p>\n

1. The Flair<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entryway to Circus Circus is a throwback to a time when Las Vegas let its lights do the talking.<\/p>\n

2. The Clown<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, clowns are creepy, but not Lucky the Clown (pictured below).<\/p>\n

What’s not to love about this Las Vegas icon? It was even featured in the movie, “Honey, I Blew Up the Kid.” The marquees erected today are just big, square TV screens. Yawn.<\/p>\n

3. The Steakhouse<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not just the great food, it’s the whole vibe of The Steakhouse at Circus Circus that makes it worthy of our love. Many on the waitstaff at Steakhouse at Circus Circus Las Vegas have been doing this for decades, and their dedication to old-school service shows.<\/p>\n

\"Yes,<\/a>
Yes, it’s as good as they say.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4. Slushy Drinks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The slushy drinks at Circus Circus are not only delicious, they’re available in a variety of collectible plastic vessels.<\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>
One of each, thanks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Get virgin slushy drinks for your kids, or the regular, better kind for you. Highly recommended is the Big Chill, a walk-up slushy drink counter, right near the casino floor. Hint: The more you drink, the better the value.<\/p>\n

You thought we were kidding about the \"one of each\" thing? Do you know this Las Vegas blog at all?<\/a>

5. Free Gambling Lessons<\/strong><\/p>\n

The list of casinos still giving free gambling lessons on The Strip has dwindled in recent years, but Circus Circus covers all the bases with lessons in blackjack, roulette, craps and live poker.<\/p>\n

\"Learning<\/a>
Learning a casino game before you play is the best money-saving tip, ever.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

6. Revolving Slot Bank and Snack Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n

This might be our favorite feature of the Circus Circus casino. It’s a two-story merry-go-round. Down below are slot machines, on top is a snack bar, called the Horse-Around Bar.<\/p>\n

\"Take<\/a>
Take that, casinos with much less character!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sure, you can wander over to Adventuredome’s array of thrill rides, but this revolving carousel in the casino gets our vote as a must-ride.<\/p>\n

Note: During recent visits the carousel hasn’t actually rotated. Come on, Phil Ruffin. Get on it!<\/p>\n

Here’s a peek at the fun (when the thing was working). If you’re not having fun at Circus Circus, you’re doing it wrong.<\/p>\n
