Circus Circus reclaims the Las Vegas of yesteryear with coin slots, paper bingo and rooms starting at $38.95

Circus Circus Las Vegas wants to differentiate itself from the new premium model that dominates much of the Strip by recovering precisely what many visitors associate with classic Las Vegas: low prices, coin slots, paper bingo, inexpensive drinks and family entertainment.

The resort has launched a new battery of stay-and-play packages available through December 31, 2026, combining accommodations with play, dining, Midway and access to the Adventuredome.

Rooms start at $38.95 plus tax, while the game package starts at $44.95 and includes $10 free play in slots. Packages with buffet, bingo, Midway game credit, and Adventuredome wristbands are also available.

One of the big claims remains Slots-A-Fun, which maintains what Circus Circus presents as the only Strip experience with 100 coin machines, with bets starting at 25 cents.

The commitment to nostalgia also extends to the restaurant and the bar, with prices such as draft beer at 2 dollars, martinis at 3 dollars, Old Fashioned at 5 dollars and hot dogs or prawn cocktail at 2 dollars.

The property also maintains its traditional paper bingo offerings, free circus shows and more than 200 arcade and carnival games at The Midway.

For the industry, the strategy is especially striking because Circus Circus is reinforcing a position very different from that of other large Las Vegas resorts: less aspirational luxury and more volume, value, nostalgia and accessibility.

Added to this is The Adventuredome, the five-acre indoor theme park, with roller coasters, attractions, virtual reality, mini-golf and experiences for families.

The resort's general manager, Shana Gerety, sums up the bet as a recovery of the "charm, character and value" of Las Vegas in other eras.

Circus Circus thus turns retro into a commercial argument: slots with real coins, bingo on paper and prices that seem from another time to compete in the Las Vegas of 2026.
