Circus Circus
As Las Vegas attempts to shake
off it's nickname of "Disneyworld for Adults", most casinos are
renovating their facilities to bring a sense of refinement and class. (see The Bellagio)
In order to be taken seriously too, Circus Circus has removed a lot of it's garish
colors and toned down the Crusty the Clown atmosphere. The closest analogy for the
renovation would be to say that it's going from Ringling Bros. to Cirque de
Soleil.
This renovation still leaves plenty of room
for kids, and kids at heart.
According to the Guiness Book of World Records, Circus Circus has the largest permanent
circus in the world. Guiness refers to the ongoing acts on the second floor stage, but at
one time they could have meant the casino itself. Before a massive renovation, this casino
took the circus theme to new heights in bad taste.
