I'm sorry, Circus Circus, but after 4 days of lodging, I think it's time for a divorce. LAYOUT: horrible. Who puts the hotel lobby in the back of the building when the main entrance is on the Strip? So basically, you must walk the entire length of the main floor to even get checked in (God forbid you have a lot of luggage). There are no direct elevators to the rooms, so have your walking shoes ready. If you're staying in Manor or Skyrise Tower, you have to get off at the Promenade level and then take another elevator to your room (and the wait is horrible). In general, give yourself 20 minutes early to get down to the lobby if you're meeting someone. AMBIANCE: this hotel appears severely outdated, sad and depressing. It hasn't been updated since disco was still in vogue. The main floor is a labyrinth of gambling tables and slots, in addition to various sleazy merchants selling sundries and other garbage that nobody wants or needs. The rooms in the Skyrise Tower have been updated, but I still saw peeling wallpaper and there were no coffee machines, fridges or microwaves. So basically, they make you uncomfortable if you want outside food. If you want cold drinks, get ice from the machine in the hallway, fill up the bucket and put your drink on that. Don't bring any food that's quickly perishable because you have nothing to keep it cold with or heat it up anyway! This is a great kid-friendly hotel, but I don't want to be around kids when I come to Vegas. The staff looks like they want to be anywhere BUT there, and I would, too, if I had to wear an outdated purple jacket as my uniform. Unless this hotel does some MAJOR renovating all over and changes the layout, I don't see them staying in business for the next 20 years. Cheap and basic are no longer good enough for Las Vegas hotels.
