Circa Keeps Delivering—Thanks, Kevin!

Eastsider75 (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) on Aug 21, 2026

Another great Circa getaway--this time just for a quick two nights. This is, by far, my favorite place to stay on Fremont Street. Big thanks to Casino Host Kevin Craddock for setting up our trip. He made everything easy from the moment we stepped on property. Our room was completely comfortable--32nd floor overlooking Stadium Swim. The bed was comfy and the shower was amazing. It was cool looking out and down at the big screen--no trouble with noise from Stadium Swim, maybe, in part, because we were higher up. Absolutely no issues with the room–it is modern, clean, spacious, and comfortable. I love the "hello" and "good-bye" feature for room lighting. We put one morning in at Stadium Swim. Not the best time of year for sports, but we caught some of the Brewers game and enjoyed some food and drinks poolside. That big screen is a game changer! I would recommend getting a daybed if you're going to be there for at least a few hours. There were plenty of places to set up shop though on a weekday. Bring sunscreen as shade disappears quickly. Recommend Vegas Vickies, Barry's, and then Legacy Club in that order for a memorable date night. The smokey Old Fashioned at Vickeys, Lobster mac-and-cheese at Barry's, and the view at Legacy were all winners for us. We did less fancy our second night and hit up Saginaw’s late night for dinner. I believe it is open 24/7 and available as room service. They have a pretty big menu and the reuben is good. Only a couple of wins this time around, but still lots of fun while gambling. Again, not the best time of year for sports, but love playing video poker on the balcony at Circa Sports Book. The theater style sports book is by far the best on Fremont, if not all of Vegas. Sister properties Golden Gate and The D are also on the same rewards network so you can casino hop and still collect comps. The rewards at these properties are pretty great–free play and food credits are put on your card automatically and there are multiplier tier credits on weekdays. Looking forward to our next trip in December!

Overrated Hotel, Dingy Area, Questionable Service, Overpriced

Warren E on Aug 08, 2026

Had visited here in the past, wanted to try it this year. It's located in the TRULY seedy Downtown Fremont Street section, and believe me, it earns that reputation. Any hour of the day or night, if you walk outside, you'll see hobos, beggars for money and types that makes security questionable. Police presence ALL over the place, even at 7am. Unpleasant. As for the hotel, it's 21 only, that's nice. They check ID every time and every door, also nice, although for guests I think they could come up with a better way. Had a Stadium Swim Corner room. It was nice, decent, far from spectacular. The views, nice for sure, but the bathroom and shower, extremely slippery floors and no mats to protect, very dangerous. Standard in most ways, furnishings plain, nothing great. Bed fine not spectacular. Air conditioning, the worst!! I get this same type of poor air conditioner at 30 + year old Strip hotel, not the speak of this 4 year old resort. Are they nuts. It was 113 when I was there, the room never got below 70 and even so it took 5-6 hrs after arrival before it even reached that level. Embarrassing. Check in, was fine, quick, the elevators to the rooms, I loved and the use of the card to gain access felt safe, secure and modern. Casino pretty standard, spread out over 2 floors, generally clean and modern, good selection, payouts lousy. At the table games on the first floor, girls scantily clad dancing on tables all around. Hmm. Well it's a 21 plus only, so I guess so. Although are they a casino or a strip club? One has to wonder. Hey, I'm not a prude, but let's be serious here, what are they actually selling? Mega Bar is huge, but the servers need help. Not overly pleasant, and worst yet, as I was playing there machines, I got CHARGED for a drink. Later to be told by a delightful cocktail server, it would have been free, hmm. Overcharging! Sleeping was just OK. Sports book is great, I must say, probably the best in Vegas, so if that's your thing, you might love it here. 2 floors high, huge screen, nice. Just stay inside, don't venture to the trash zone right outside the front door, where I got asked for $$$ right at the door!! Stadium Swim is a huge and well designed pool, however, there is ZERO shade, not a bit unless you pay for a Cabana, and as I walked around it, in 113 degree weather with no shade, it was hotter than imaginable. It is impressive I must say, but there are equally good pools in Vegas. One great thing, a server who worked 2-10am on the 2nd floor, she was awesome, the best part of my stay!! Can't praise her enough. They also charge for parking, even to hotel guests, $25 per day!! Wynn gives free parking to guests!! Is Circa nuts? Hookers in the casino, I know this happens a lot in Vegas, so just be aware. I can see how well Security watches out for this, well hey, the scantily clad dancers, so... Circa wants to poise itself as a 5 star luxury resort. NOT A CHANCE!! Don't listen to the You Tubers who are paid off, given free everything or sponsorship. This is NOT a 5 star resort, nothing here earns that. It has some benefits for sure. It needs improvement. Doubtful I'll ever be back, I can't see many reasons. From the average room, the rip off at the Bar, the lousy area it resides in, the questionable service from some, and just general indifference, (see my Legacy Club review for more disappointment) this isn't there place to be. If you're spending this type of $$$, check out the Strip Hotels...you can def find better pricing and more amenities there, and BETTER air conditioning. The Wynn as an example, the only 5 Star Resort, the air conditioner worked every second, and the room was constantly cool or cold, and it never failed once, and took seconds to start!! That's 5 star luxury, and it was cheaper than Circa!! Amazing. First time, last time. This may be the newest kid in old and seedy Downtown but it just doesn't live up to expectations. I'm actually disappointed I wasted my 2 days there, it wasn't worth it. But now I know for future. There won't be a return.

Great room and location

mabarrenechea (Arizona) on Aug 06, 2026

It is my husband’s and his friends’ favorite hotel. So, my husband and I went there for three days to enjoy ourselves. We really liked the room and the service. The location is good. The only service that seems very poor is that—despite it being a very large hotel—none of the poolside bars are operating, and there is no waitstaff service. I would also like the hotel shop to carry well-known sunglass brands.

Not Great!

L6426IQcharlesc on Aug 04, 2026

So the room was a nice size. Check in was at 3pm but our room was not ready till 4pm and we did not receive the king bed requested. Saw and killed 2 roaches in the room! Unacceptable!

Horrible Way to treat people they make you show your ID everytime you enter the Hotel

Ginger-S1974 (Ormond Beach, Florida) on Jul 27, 2026

It’s a horrible to be inconvenienced with showing your ID everytime you want to enter the hotel! You can’t get in if your forgot your ID is in the room! Wont ever stay here again! Rooms are nice good food is good but having to Show your ID every single time you enter is totally ridiculous! I don’t know whose ideal this was but it was really stupid! Because we won’t be back then because of that we’ve spent a lot of money here. This is the straw that broke the camels back. We just can’t take it anymore. It’s so annoying and makes us so angry so I have to break out our ID every time we want to come in from going out! They treat you like you’re a criminal like you’ve done something wrong as to why they need to scan your ID! The hotel is super nice, but we cant handle dealing with that, so on to the next hotel where we dont have to do that, many other choices!
