Connected via skywalks to Silver Legacy and Eldorado Resort Casinos, this 3-star Reno hotel occupies an entire city block in Downtown Reno's entertainment district. The Circus Circus Carnival Midway presents free circus acts and family games across three arcade areas. Guest rooms, ranging from 332 to 570 square feet, feature Serta presidential mattresses, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and Sierra Nevada Mountain views. Seven restaurants serve diverse cuisines, including Mexican at El Jefe's Cantina, sushi at Kokopelli's, and breakfast specialties at Madame Butterwork's Curious Café. The Race and Sports Book provides betting opportunities, while a 24-hour fitness center offers cardio equipment and weights. Circus Circus Reno's location places guests within 0.5 miles of Reno Events Center and 0.5 miles from the National Automobile Museum.

Pros

Free circus performances and carnival games create a family entertainment environment

Complimentary airport shuttle eliminates transportation costs

Direct indoor access to two additional casino resorts via skywalks

Located near Reno's iconic illuminated arch and entertainment venues

Cons

Some rooms are located two blocks from the main lobby

Casino atmosphere may not suit travelers seeking quiet accommodations

“Circus Circus Reno strikes me as a vibrant entertainment hub, particularly well-suited for families seeking engaging activities. The direct connection to the Tri-Properties Resort complex via indoor walkway is a definite plus, and the free evening entertainment adds considerable value. I think its personalized service and multilingual staff also stand out in making the hotel accessible to a diverse range of guests.”

I had a mixed experience at Circus Circus. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive and the live entertainment provided a fun atmosphere. However, I faced significant issues with the service, especially during the check-in process and subsequent room access struggles. The communication barrier with some staff added to my frustration. Overall, while there were enjoyable aspects, there were also some considerable drawbacks that impacted my stay.
