TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

This hotel was very clean and comfortable bed. Lots of restaurants and gaming. Beautiful pool and plenty of bars. The casino is fun and busy but you will always find a slot or gaming spot for sure. Fremont St is the fun place to visit.

My wife and I have stayed at the Circa a number of times, so we thought we would bring a group of friends to try it out. Almost all of the people in our group said they prefer the Circa over most hotels on the strip. The food is good, the pool is amazing, and the service is top notch with everyone you come in contact with. It is apparent that they take service very seriously, because we experienced friendly encounters with every single employee we came across. It’s also clear that the hotel wants to have a high quality experience for their guests. From the towels and robes, to the elevator system and everything in between, they didn’t miss a beat. The Circa Resort and Casino has become our favorite go-to place in Vegas and if you haven’t checked it out, I highly recommend you do.

I think Circa is the perfect report for somebody and maybe I'm just not that somebody. On the positive, one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. Stadium Swim is as advertised and everyone I encountered was great. A meal and a desert trip to Saginaws was great as well. On the negative side, some of the processes just didn't hit for me. I was comparing everything to my previous few days combined at Park MGM and Cosmo, which maybe altered my expectations but I couldn't help but feel disappointed with some of the processes that made Circa just feel inconvenient. Check in conspired to the MGM properties was a hassle. Despite checking in via text as it wasnt offered in app, I still had to visit the desk for keys. The room wasnt ready which was fine as we were early. We got all the way to stadium swim to find out we needed an ID for everything even tho I had to show my ID at multiple points just to get to stadium swim which forced me back up to my room and all the way back through the lengthy proceess to get back in. The checking and rechecking of your ID even as a guest was something I was prepared for going in and out on freemont but still was more annoying than I thought it would be. The vibe was just off for me. I'm paying prices that are supposed to excused luxury, but I feel like I'm on lock down and the casino floor is what if The D but blue. I went down to The D to gamble and felt more at home there, as the vibes matched the price tag and experience. Overall I think this place is perfect for somebody but maybe not the experience I'm looking for.

Stayed in a suite. Construction started at about 7:30 am. Drilling, hammers, you name it. Excellent room but worst service ever. Does not have a phone in room to contact front desk has some kind of tablet thing with a barely works touch screen. Very confusing to use. Got in late at night gambled a few hours bought some drinks, went to room woke up to the sound of hammers and drills. Went to front desk and was told they can comp me for my $25 self parking. Been staying at mirage 4 times a month for 15 years now that it’s closed been looking for a new hotel here in Las Vegas and the circa was a major disappointment.

Overall, just an average stay. So let's break it down: ROOM: Pretty basic and clean. Come with a couch and a nice desk to work. The best part of the room was the bathroom, especially the shower, which was the highlight of my trip. The water pressure was fantastic. The water itself is VERY soft. The shampoos and body cleaners were below average, so bring your own. CASINO: Smelled like smoke during busy hours. When I visited it the following morning, the air was much less smokey. They have vents in the carpeting every few feet that help a lot but just can't keep up during busy hours. The casino itself isn't huge, but still all the games you'd want. The lobby bar is a good spot. The bartenders were very friendly. SPORTS BOOK: This is very nice. Big screens and easy access to wagering with live attendants ready to take your bets. But in order to sit in the middle 2/3 of the book, you have to pay a fee for the seats. Yes, you get service in that area, but to me, that takes the fun out of betting the games. There are free seats each side of the main seating area. Sit here and save money. CIRCA SWIM: Hard pass! Just not my thing. We visited during a busy time to see what it was like. Lots of people wearing swimsuits they shouldn't be wearing (if you know what I mean) and plenty of negative distractions to the games up on the screens. If you're young and on the hunt, you will probably like this set-up. If you're like me and older, you won't find it of interest. PRICING: As is the case with all of Vegas, waaaay overpriced on things like sundries, beers, and the like. At the coffee shop on the second floor, an OJ, coffee and muffin ran me $17. NEIGHBORHOOD: I've never been a fan of downtown Vegas. I think it's old, antiquated and desperate. Circa is by far the nicest property there. Still, the strip is nicer and more convenient. VERDICT: If you have to stay downtown, Circa is the best choice. That said, I don't think I'd ever stay downtown again. Not a fan of smokey casinos. That one is a "never again" for me.
