how much does it cost per night at circus circus hotel in las vegas? I am going on vavation there in july with my dad and 9 yr old daughter and want to stay at a resonable priced hotel with a pool preferably with a slide. what’s there to do in vegas for a 9 yr old? and how much are the stuff to do there?
at strasophere…is that roller coaster real scary? and is the wet n wild in las vegas like the one in orlando?
You are right about Circus Circus being inexpensive, but it comes with a cost. We stayed a couple of years ago at the Excaliber. It was nothing fancy to be sure, but generally clean. We visited Circus Circus to see the circus shows (each one a duration of about 10 minutes) and I was completely disgusted by the filth I saw. The carpets were sticky and mushy…I felt like I was back in college at a really dumpy fraternity. I would strongly recommend looking at what you can really afford and choose a different hotel.
The other thing about Circus Circus is that it is at the very far end of the strip…the Excalibur is at the very far other end. This makes walking around very difficult.
As far as things to do, if your daughter likes shopping, etc, she will enjoy Las Vegas. Keep in mind that shopping is entertainment. Caesar’s Palace, the Venetian, all of the hotels really, have free shows, fountains, etc that take place in the hotel, usually in the shopping area. There are also some really unique things to do, such as going to Sigfried and Roy’s Secret Garden (almost like a zoo).
Depending on what you allow your daughter to watch on tv and movies, you will want to be careful about Las Vegas. The Sirens of TI is an outside production that is magnificent, but way too racy for us to allow our kids to see. Keep in mind that sex and gambling is what Las Vegas is all about. They threw away the whole "family friendly" thing a long time ago. There will be billboards of nearly naked women everywhere. That said, most people were very considerate when they saw our children around – I might even say moreso then normal.
It is a neat place, but it is a playground for adults, not kids and you need to keep that in mind.
I would, however, strongly recommend staying somewhere other than Circus Circus.

Just got back from there 3 weeks ago. Circus Circus has alot for kids–an indoor theme park & circus acts. The stratosphere rides would be too scary for a child. The fountains show at the Bellagio, Volcano show at the Mirage & pirate show at Treasure island are all good. Excalibur has kid stuff also. I do not know if wet n wild is still there. It used to be by the Sahara, but was not there this last trip. Hope this helpsReferences :

Circus Circus is a pretty good place for the kids. As far as things to do for kids there are lots of great attractions. To many to list here. Check with your hotel concierge and he will give you a great list of places and things to see. And yeah the stratosphere is scary but that’s the fun of it. Most hotel have a baby sitting service that is provided for free. They want you in the Casino and kids are not allowed so they will entertain the children for free. Don’t worry about it too much. The new Vegas is not for adults only!References : BTDT
