The dealers at this casino will be more than happy to teach you the game while showering you with free drinks and food coupons. Cocktail waitresses are often coming by and offering rounds of comped drinks.

Also, don’t forget to sign up for a players club card because Circus Circus loves to give out comps to those betting as little as $15 a hand. Slot machines vary from penny slots up to $25. Although, the rest of the hotel is filled with families and children, the casino is relativly free of noise from children. Table games include blackjack, Pai Gow, craps, roulette, Let it Ride, and Casino War. Although the action at the craps table may get a little intense, don’t get too caught up without noticing the circus that takes place above the casino floor several times throughout the day. Acrobats, clowns, and all your favorite circus acts are often out and about on the casino floor.

With such a large casino it might be easy to forget that this hotel is really for kids! However, the people at Circus Circus have thought of everything. They even created a kid-friendly gaming area. Adults can gamble at the tables and slots, while kids play in the fun midway level which features all the traditional carnival games that kids love. Over 200 video and arcade games are available for kids with a huge selection of fun prizes for winners.

The casino also has a small but intimate sportsbook with 14 TVs and about 50 seats in the race book and 30 seats in the sports book. The sports book at Circus Circus also opens early at 8:30 a.m. and doesn’t close until the last major event of the day. Race fans can enjoy private televisions in each individual seat for watching their own specific race. Race betting in Las Vegas is not only a favorite pastime, it’s also a lot more fun that you might expect. After a few intense hands of Pai Gow, it can be very relaxing to put a few dollars on a horse with the funniest name and just sit down and enjoy the race while cocktail waitresses shower you with drinks. If you really want to do it big, purchase a cigar and you’ll feel like a real Las Vegas regular. Minimum bets for sports are $5 and racing is $2. The sportsbook is located just off the casino floor and there is a coffee shop nearby if you’re looking to grab a quick bite. Drinks are comped for sports betters as well. However, the focus at this sportsbook is really on the races.
