Circus Circus free circus acts and clown marquee

Circus Circus Las Vegas opened in 1968 and is known for its Midway that stages free circus performances and acrobatic acts for hotel guests and visitors. The property’s large clown-themed signage and indoor circus format have made it a distinctive family-oriented presence on the south Strip. Locals and commentators often make lighthearted jokes about the resort’s carnival atmosphere sitting alongside more adult-oriented Strip casinos. The Midway acts and circus branding remain active features of the resort.
