I would have to agree with you that Circus Circus is ghetto. I stayed
at that place once and I will never stay again.  The Riv is a lot
better now that they remodeled the rooms.  Circus Circus does not look
like it has never been renovated, even though
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Circus_Las_Vegas says it was back
in 2006.  If I'm wrong let me know.  The last time I set foot on the
propriety was 2003.

Circus Circus is about as ghetto as the Riv, but it has the added
"benefit" of a creepy clown theme.  Also there's a slew of folks who
actually believed the whole "Vegas is family friendly" bundle of lies
(it's not!) and bring the kiddies along because hey, "it'll be like
going to the circus" (again, it's not).

I can think of few memories more depraved in my life than the time I
stayed there for a Vegas bachelor party.  We shambled back into that
place at 3:40 AM, completely bombed out of our gourds, (lots of
debauchery -- what a great party) and there were still f*#*ing kids  
up
and running around.  The best part was how a lady with a "world's  
best
grandma" bedazzled shirt, yelled at us for being a bad example for  
her
kids... who were standing feet away from her as she was tossing their
inheritance/college fund/food money away at the craps table.

This side of the strip is the dregs... I mean the monorail doesn't
even stop there.

That said for $35 a night, it's worth staying... just go realizing
it's a dive and you'll be fine.

Lest you think I'm being all elitist, I'm embarrassed by how much I
love Slots o' Fun just next door, (but they don't allow kids there!)

I guess what I'm saying is I hate kids and clowns.  LOL!  No just  
kids
in those areas/situations... and clowns.

Just a warning:

I find Circus Circus to be a really odd place.  It's not a place to
hang out at... but it's damn cheap.  Also they have a really good  
yet
reasonably priced (for Vegas) steak house.

If somehow I can make it, is there someone whose floor I can  
crash
on Wednesday night?

Thanks,
