I loved the hotel! right in the middle of everything. I love the bed there, good night sleep (or may be i'm too tired after walking along the Strip). As for the food (isn't it the most important thing?? :-)) - the buffee was very delicious. I recommend this hotel for students who are trying to find a place on the Strip with low price and good service. We got a good deal for it on lastminutetravel, where you don't know which hotel you book until the last minute (like Hotwire), so turned out pretty good for us.
Not bad for the price

We (2 adults & a child) stayed at the hotel for 8 days. It was a nice room. Channel selection wasn't the best. AC worked very well and we were cool the entire stay. This was great because it was 100+ deg our entire trip. However, there is no refrigerator or microwave in the skytower rooms. Refrigerator was available for an extra fee. I would recommend stopping by CVS or Walgreens and get a cooler. There is a general store near the pool. Reasonably priced. Has everything. Adventuredome was absolutely wonderful! The food at the buffet was great but Excalibur has an all day buffet for a better price. Circus acts were topnotch, especially African Acrobats! We saw their show about three times- gotta see the guy libo a foot off the floor! OMG! All in all, the hotel was good. I would stay there again.
Needs a renovation but great for familys

We went there with my wife's brother and sister-in-law. We weren't with kids, so it was obvious we missed out on the entire point of staying at Circus Circus. My wife and I paid for a suite, it was dingy and tired. Looked like there was a mirror on the wall at one point near the bathroom that had fallen or was torn off. Small tub, 1 sink, cruddy view, no coffee maker, 3 pillows, screaming loud refrigerator and AC, cheap tv, bare minimum of channels. Buffet was 11.99, very standard fare. Our relatives said their room was renovated and nice, we didn't have time to see it.
Our relatives picked the hotel, and it was their first time in Vegas so they were budget shopping. As two couples with no kids, we could have stayed at Harrah's on the strip and that would have been more appropriate for us and still been budget minded. Those with kids, just make sure you ask for a renovated room at the Circus Circus.
Good family points? They had a really fun looking Adventure dome, a midway like at the fair, clowns, which is bad for me since I hate clowns and couldn't sleep knowing they trying to get in my room (joking!), face painting, just a ton of kid themed stuff for sure.
The service people I encountered were great for the most part. A very sweet housecleaning lady who asked if she could at least give us some fresh towels when I told her we didn't need service, a really nice valet who went out of his way for us.
Again, when we have kids one day, I'm taking them. Until then, something closer to strip.
