Circus Circus in Las Vegas, 1992

Circus Circus Las Vegas is a circus-themed 3,774 room hotel and 101,000 square foot (9,392 m²) casino located on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada that is owned and operated by MGM Mirage. Circus Circus features free circus acts on a regular basis throughout the day. Circus Circus has the only RV park on the Strip providing additional accommodations in the 399 space park operated by Kampgrounds of America (KOA).

Circus Circus Las Vegas is the largest permanent big top in the world.

Opened October 18, 1968 by Jay Sarno.

Became the flagship casino for Circus Circus Enterprises (later Mandalay Resort Group), now part of MGM Mirage.

Underwent major renovations in 1997 that changed the hotel's theme from the standard American circus to a French Cirque du Soleil-style circus. Circus Circus is slated for renovation to its former theme in 2006.

The hotel may be demolished and rebuilt. According to an MGM Mirage report, the Circus Circus site "does not make economic use of the 44 acres that it sits on, therefore, we feel that demolishing the current property and rebuilding it in a different fashion (while still keeping the Circus Circus name) will be in our best interest."
