      Sounds like a fun vacation. Hopefully, I’ll visit Las Vegas next year with my sister (most likely, we’ll stay at the Venetian), but when it comes to fun, I’ll be going to Circus Circus to play in the arcade and game area, plus I’ll see a few circus acts while I’m there. And I’ll eat at that steakhouse too!

    I've stayed at Circus-Circus a few times and never had a problem. The staff was always super nice. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. The guests do remind me of the center of Brooklyn (Not that I have ever been there), but I only ever had had one time where there were kids screaming in the hall in the middle of the night. I cannot say about the other hotels because I have never stayed in the others.

    I've stayed at the Excalibur multiple times and will go back. Room is basic but the casino is actually a lot of fun. Cheap food options on the second floor. Plus it might be the best tram hub on the strip. One monorail goes from Excalibur to Mandalay Bay (I almost never go in that direction), walk across to MGM grand to take monorail on all the way to Sahara (and Cookies dispensary), and a short walk to Park MGM (cutting through air conditioned NYNY) where you can take the tram to the Bellagio. Plus NYNY being next door with great late night eats rules.

    I usually stay at Flamingo, but I go to Ellis Island for the breakfast deals. I never considered staying here, but I did check rates for a mid-week stay. Free parking makes this a good contender for those on a budget, and being walking distance from the Strip is a plus. The room shown in this video looks just fine.

    The linq is my fav budget hotel(it is getting more spendy) perfect location, casino is small and easy to walk through, easy food options, by far the best ‘landing pad’ hotel. love the plaza downtown, great music club, great gym, convenient for Fremont st. I’ll be staying at the strat and rio on my next trip, pretty excited to visit those

    Thanks for the review. Older budget hotels also need reviews and they have a place in Vegas.
    I have stayed at Rio and it’s just too far off the strip and Excalibur is just tired and old.
    I would suggest the Luxor for a nicer property that is budget priced. Harrahs also has great rates and they are at center strip.

    My first trip to Vegas, I believe early to mid 90’s, I stayed at RIO. That was a start of many years of frequent Vegas vacations. RIO was my go to resort. I even brought guests with me to stay there. I eventually graduated to strip resorts, and Bellagio and Venetian became my favorites. The last four or five years I have mostly stayed at WYNN and Encore resorts. I cannot believe how desolate RIO appears. I recall the Mardi Gras atmosphere with frequent lines of staff entertaining folks smack in the middle of the casino gambling area. There were long lines to get in the Voodoo lounge. I watched 4th of July fireworks from the rooftop area that you toured. Now, looks like an abandoned building. It will take a huge renovation to get it competitive with the newer casino resorts in Vegas. ‘Til then, I will stay far away.

    I almost always stay at either Luxor or Excalibur. Part of the MGM players club, they almost always have comp rooms, and if no comp rooms the rates are ridiculously cheap. I'm the type of person that really just needs a place to sleep, as I rarely go to the room during the day. But it is really sad to see the state that the Rio is in. Growing up, that was the hotel we would always stay at, but the glory days are over.

    This was a good watch. Memories... Lol ... I've stayed at all these hotels and definitely worth your money. My favorites were Ellis Island and Rio from price, eats and shows but Circus has lots to do for kids and Excalibur is close to everything too. Rio has been updated and colors are bright and fresh. Their pools are huge and casino and bars are fun with lots to eat and now connected to Caesar rewards, which is also a perk at Rio. Quieter than the strip too and closer to The Palms. Walkable and lots to eat outside the hotel too. It's easy to stay at the hotel when staying at Circus and Rio since it's massive and further from main strip. Especially since you're paying the resort fees. The steak house and bbq place looked delicious and budget friendly. I must try next time! I can do without the Elvis suite but looked really awesome! Like a little apartment. Thank you for fun video with lots of information on rooms.

    I don't think most people realize that circus circus was MGM cash cow for many years. They didn't put much money back in the property. But in 2019 right before the pandemic Phil Ruffin bought the hotel. Unlike MGM, he has been pouring millions of dollars into the property. As a local myself I find the pay back percentages are far better than other strip properties. So I would say if you need a fancy room book at the Wynn or Bellagio. But if your a gambler and don't spend much time in your room Circus is fine. Just remember if you check in and your room is dirty, just call housekeeping and they will reclean your room. 😉

    We stayed at Excalibur Casino/Hotel at the end of April '23, and it had that sulfur/sewer smell for sure, at the pool area entrance, I never visited the pool area. I also smelled sewage at several other casinos, and walking through the strip, stinky town, but there are just so many people there all the time I guess it's just part of humanity.

But the only reason I would go back because it would remind me of my sister who died in 2014. We had a good time at a concert at the Paris, we went to see Barry Manilow. It was somewhat cheap also. The room you were in was just like ours.

    We're headed to Vegas in mid-December for the 6th time since 2010 to celebrate our anniversary and a pre-retirement celebration. Our first trip in 2010 was at the Flamingo, and I gave them a scathing review due to room and food offerings. Since then, we've stayed at a hotel off the strip that has a kitchenette, and will be staying there again. We've played at Circus Circus, agree that the hotel is in need of a do over, and we came across a sketchy area on the out skirts of the hotel in the later hours. We always have a pricey anniversary dinner, and a nicer buffet at least one time, and will do so on this trip. Prices have gone up so much since COVID, and Vegas is just not the same. Dinner options are Top of the World at the Strat, Smith and Wollensky at the Venetian, places we've visited more than once. Will do the High Roller at the Linc again for our "fun thing" to do, and of course, play those slots! We will again have our anniversary cake from Freed's Bakery, and they deliver to the hotel! I order 2 weeks ahead, and since we live in California and drive down, we can take it home! Nice thing about driving is that you can bring your own pillows.
    This will be our last trip for a while as we don't need the bells and whistles..seen the shows, been to Fremont Street, done the tours, don't utilize the pools, so this trip is to view the Christmas decorations. Thanks for the fun video!!

I know that we didn't stay in the towers. Now, I wouldn't stay there again, but it wasn't a bad experience when I did. I think people stay there because it's so budget friendly.

    I have eaten at the Steak House at Circus Circus twice, both times comp'd by casino. The food was top notch. I like that sides are included with the entree. The grilled shrimp appetizer was really good. Get the garlic mashed potatoes. It has been a while, but as I remember, prices are not cheap; on par with other steak houses. I love Ellis Island for the gaming atmosphere and the quality good food at reasonable prices. It doesn't take much gaming to get an additional discount on the food too, so check that out. Excalibur has a good buffet at a good price. Have never been in the Rio.

    The Rio used to be our go-to hotel. Beautiful, roomy, great restaurants and so much fun. Didn't need the Strip. Now it is so sad. Hope they can bring it back to it's glory days.
    Stayed at Excaliber one time but that was back in the 1990's. It was nice. Enjoyed it. Also stayed at Circus Circus but last time was in 2000. It was fine then too but haven't visited in over 20 years and it definitely needs an update.
    Stayed at Flamingo one week ago in the Go Room, 2 queen, non-smoking Strip view. The view was amazing but it definitely needs a remodel. The room still has the small fridge and automatic curtains but they have removed the coffee maker, CD/DVD player and the remote to the bathroom in-mirror TV was missing. Also, overall the room and bathroom were clean but alot of scratches/dings on the walls and long time collection of dust in small places like outlets and wall light switches. Good thing is when I used a Lysol wipe to wipe down the counters in the room and bathroom they came up clean so no complaints there. The hallway carpet though was really bad and there was always the smell of marijuana in the hallway.
    Did stay in a renovated room back in Jan (renovated a few years ago) and they were still very nice.

      I went to vegas in mid june 2022.
      The Rio is my go to casino as well but they have moved the world series of poker to Bally's.
      Unfortunately the Rio has been going down hill for several years now. The pandemic and the loss of the world series has finished this casino off. To bad because they have a great pool area.
      1) During my stay the line up at the desk to sign in went to the front door and they only had two people at the sign in desk. It was a joke. Took almost an hour to sign in and get a room.
      2) Only one pool was open during my one week stay. Also no sand beach anymore. The sand is removed.
      3) Only one restaurant open -- All American bar and grill.
      4) NO poker room -- it's closed.
      5) You mentioned coffee pots. Casinos all over vegas seem to have removed those years ago. They want you to go down stairs or order room service. A few years ago when I stayed for a couple of weeks to play at the world series of poker (when it was still at the Rio) I went to walmart and bought a coffee pot for $12 and other stuff. That's the best option. Left it in the room when I checked out.
      6) I did not see a number for room service in any of the paperwork in the room. I don't even know if they still have room service believe it or not. You better find out before you go.
      Unfortunately Las Vegas has out priced it self now.
      It seems like it's just ---- Max profit Min service. Las Vegas is a joke. Might as well just go to an Indian casino near you and save the travel costs for gambling.
      Las Vegas needs the mob to take over again or a Bob Stupak. They knew how to treat gamblers.
      I have been going to Vegas since the early 80's. The town is a sad joke. To corporate. Max profit Min service.

    Stayed at Excalibur many times and booked many people there to stay during their visit. It gets the job done. The casino is fun. The rooms have popcorn ceiling. Older tvs but I always feel comfortable there and the service is actually pretty good. I don’t think mgm has a property that should be on this list. In my opinion

    I've stayed all over Las Vegas during the past 18 years or so. The last time I had a semi-decent experience at Rio was about 10 years ago. I haven't stayed there since, but we used to stop in ever so often. The gaming floor finally got bad enough a couple of years back that we stopped even trying.

  • @danlarson318
    @danlarson318 Год назад +1

    I recently stayed in Circus Circus with my wife and three friends. They put us in the Manor buildings. Needless to say, we were less than impressed. They wouldn't even let us rent a rollaway bed for our fifth person. The elevator was old and was in need of some major upgrades. The view was of one of the other Manor buildings. It reminded me of a college dorm building or a Military Barracks from pre-1990.
    I have also stayed a couple times at Excalibur a couple times. I asked for a room with a good view the first time and was right across from NY-NY so when I was chilling, I could watch the rollercoaster. The next time I was there, again asked for a good view and got a view of the roof. Not impressed at all. But, from what your video said, they recently did some renovations, the shower you showed was not very appealing, unlike the rooms I had. A total walk-in shower that was big enough for two people if you wanted that many in the shower. On the downside, only part of the TV channels worked, so when you wanted to just chill and relax, you were limited.
    I have been also to NY-NY and Luxor and both put me into rooms with no view at all. Made my stay pretty sad for those downtimes when I just wanted to get out of the heat and have a cold one.

    I stayed at the Excalibur 30 years ago, but I wouldn't stay now. I've never heard of Ellis Island before this video.
    I went to the Rio 20 years ago for a concert and a seafood buffet. I'm not sure I would stay at the Rio either. The Circus Circus video was ok, but the hotel doesn't look like a place that I would stay at. My favorite hotel in Las Vegas was Lady Luck, now known as the Grand. Next time in Las Vegas I plan on staying at the Grand.
