Featuring free performances by dazzling aerialists, high-wire walkers, trapeze artists, and clowns every half-hour, as well as an indoor, five-acre theme park, and over 100,000 square feet of casinos, the family-friendly Circus Circus Las Vegas offers all the fun and excitement of the big top. It is located on the north end of the Strip, approximately six miles from McCarran International Airport. Local attractions include the Fremont Street Experience, located four miles away, and UNLV, approximately three miles from the hotel.

The world's largest buffet is just one of the dining options on site; others are the family-style pizzeria, snack bar, and award-winning steakhouse. A wedding chapel, three outdoor swimming pools, and a shopping area round out the hotel's offerings.

Each of the 3,700 rooms has air-conditioning, cable TV, pay-per-view, telephones, hairdryers, and video check-out. Non-smoking and handicap-accessible units are available on request.

The Circus Circus Manor Motor Lodge, the two-star area of Circus Circus, is made up of five three-story buildings approximately a half-block behind the main casino with easy access to all main buildings, and an enclosed, moving walkway, and convenient parking. Each room has 351 square feet, and is equipped with refrigerators, alarm clocks, bathrooms with tubs/showers, telephones, and cable TV.
