Las Vegas Circus Circus

Circus Circus Las Vegas is a circus-themed 3,774 room hotel and 101,000 sq ft (9,383 m²) casino located on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada. It is owned and operated by MGM Mirage. Circus Circus features free circus acts on a regular basis throughout the day. Circus Circus has the only RV park on the Strip providing additional accommodations in the 399 space park operated byKampgrounds of America (KOA).

Circus Circus Las Vegas is the largest permanent big top in the world. The clown marquee at the entrance was provided by Young Electric Sign Company.

Circus Circus opened on October 18, 1968 by Jay Sarno, becoming the flagship casino for Circus Circus Enerprises.

Major renovations in 1997 changed the hotel's theme from the standard American circus to a French-Canadian Cirque du Soleil-style circus, and added a new 35-story tower.

The hotel may be demolished and rebuilt. According to an MGM Mirage report, the Circus Circus site "does not make economic use of the 44 acres that it sits on, therefore, we feel that demolishing the current property and rebuilding it in a different fashion (while still keeping the Circus Circus name) will be in our best interest."
