The Circus Circus Las Vegas is a hotel and casino that opened in 1968 and is located on the North end of the Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada. The 3,773 hotel rooms are located in several buildings, with there being plenty of appeal for those on a limited budget.
Circus Circus has the largest permanent big top in the world and features circus acts and carnival games at the Carnival Midway.
Circus Circus has also made its mark in popular culture, with cameo appearances in films such as:
- James Bond: Diamonds Are Forever
- Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
- Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Circus Circus Sportsbook
The Circus Circus sportsbook and racebook has 80 seats, with 18 big screens, while the Slots-A-Fun casino offers slots and electronic table games, with it being easy to find places for a $5 minimum bet. It has 123,928 square feet of casino space.
The Circus Circus Race Book is off to one side and has 10 screens and 2 rows of 7 desk spaces with leather swivel but there is no individual TV per seat.
There are up to six cashier windows for busy sports days. There’s pamphlets available at these cash desks where you can see all the day’s sports events with the daily betting lines and whatever Futures odds or prop bets that may also be available.
Circus Circus Sport Odds
Whilst this casino hotel is at the lower end of the budget the Vegas betting lines being offered in their sports book are not always the best value in town. You can usually find better odds in Vegas if you shop around, or even easier right here online where there are a number of online sportsbooks that are always open 24/7, just like Vegas.
For Sports Futures betting the Circus Circus sportsbook is probably not the ideal place to strike your long term wagers either. Due to this being a high density tourist area, most of which whom will not care about nicking a few extra odds points, you will likely get better value if you head to an off-strip local casino.
