Check-in was fast and easy. Front desk people were nice. Room was clean and didn't smell like cigarettes. In fact the casino on a whole didn't smell like cigarettes, though there were people smoking at the slots. Towels weren't soft, but they were clean. The bathroom wallpaper was peeling and the light was obnoxiously buzzing and bright. The bathroom had a vinyl floor.
The worst part was the styrofoam cups and "disposable" plastic coffee filters. Obviously no regard for the excess garbage in the US or for the environment.
The best part of Circus Circus...well, there were 2 parts that totally rocked: The poker room, which was just a sectioned off portion of the casino close to Keno and blackjack tables, was very welcoming. With a minimum bet of only $2 and staff that was very friendly and helpful, I played my first game of Texas Hold 'Em there and am so glad about it. I didn't play a tournament there, but the next time I played Texas Hold 'Em, it was a tournament. The experience at Circus Circus totally made it worth it. The second thing that totally rocked was the midway. It was so fun! And the games were inexpensive to play. Obviously there for the kids, but so fun. There were live acts that performed on stage and above on trapeze.
Circus Circus is at the northern end of the tract of casinos in Reno. It's attached to the Silver Legacy and ElDorado. We really enjoyed our stay and would consider it again.
