Circus Circus Las Vegas Rooms Start at $38.95 With No Resort Fee

Slots-A-Fun: Still a Quarter a Pull

If you want proof this property means what it says about old-school pricing, walk into Slots-A-Fun. It’s the only coin-operated slot experience left on the Strip, a 24-hour room with 100 machines starting at 25-cent denominations. Those are actual coins in actual trays, the sound every other casino floor replaced with digital chirping a decade ago.

The drink and food pricing matches the slots. A draft beer is $2. A martini is $3. An Old Fashioned runs $5, which by Strip standards is close to a rounding error. Pair that with a $2 hot dog, $2 shrimp cocktail or $2 popcorn and you can build an entire evening of gambling, drinking and eating for less than one cocktail costs at a Strip nightclub. The catch, if there is one, is that this is 25-cent slot machines and bar-counter dining, not a high-limit room with bottle service. You know exactly what you’re buying walking in.

THE Steak House: $40 for a Filet, Monday Through Friday

The property’s other value play sits at the opposite end of the formality spectrum. THE Steak House has been grilling over an open hearth for nearly 45 years, and it recently got a mention on CNN’s “The Detour with David Chang,” which is more attention than most Strip steakhouses get without a celebrity chef’s name on the menu.

Monday through Friday, 4 to 5:30 p.m., the early pricing gets specific: a 6-ounce filet mignon for $40, a 10-ounce ribeye for $40, both with house salad, garlic mashed potatoes and vegetable of the day. A grilled chicken entrée runs $35 on the same terms. Compare that to what a 10-ounce ribeye costs at most Strip steakhouses after 6 p.m., and you’re often looking at double, sometimes without the sides included. The window is narrow and it’s weekdays only, so this isn’t a Saturday night plan — it's a specific, time-boxed discount for people willing to eat dinner at 4:30.

The Adventuredome and the Midway

The headline attraction remains the Adventuredome, five acres of indoor theme park under the resort’s pink glass dome, still the only one of its kind on the Strip. Canyon Blaster is billed as America’s largest indoor double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster. El Loco has a beyond-vertical drop. SpongeBob’s Crazy Carnival Ride is an immersive dark ride through Bikini Bottom, and there’s go-karts, mini golf, VR experiences and rides scaled down for younger kids.

The Midway is the free part of the equation, and it’s doing more work than it gets credit for. More than 200 arcade and carnival games sit alongside free daily circus acts, the kind of thing you’d expect to pay a cover for elsewhere on the Strip. The Garage adds VR flight simulation, mini-bowling and multi-sport simulators. Splash Zone covers the pool and waterslide side of things. None of it requires a room booking, a wristband, or a reservation. You can walk in off Las Vegas Boulevard and spend an afternoon there without spending a dollar beyond gas money and parking, which is free.

The official Circus Circus site has the full package list and booking calendar. These holiday deals on Adventuredome & Midway rates run through the end of the year, so there's no reason to wait if a family trip is already on the calendar for November or December.
