- This article is about the Circus Circus hotel and casino in Reno, Nevada. There is also a Circus Circus in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Circus Circus is a circus-themed hotel and casino located in Reno, Nevada, owned by the MGM Mirage. The hotel offers 1,572 rooms. The 65,000 sq ft (6,000 m2) casino features free circus acts on a regular basis throughout the day over the midway which also offers 33 carnival games.
[edit] History
The main structure was originally built as a Gray, Reid & Wright Department Store which, at the time, was the only department store in the state of Nevada. The casino opened on October 18, 1978, exactly 10 years after its Las Vegas counterpart.
In 1981, the hotel's 22-story North Tower opened, followed by the 27-story SkyTower in 1986. In 1995, extensive renovations were completed, including the remodel of the mezzanine level where the restaurants are located, the midway, and a skybridge connecting to the Silver Legacy
In 2008, Circus Circus had planned on adding an indoor swimming pool. Until the opening of the Silver Legacy in 1995, guests at Circus Circus did not have access to swimming facilities. According to a rendering on the Circus Circus website, the pool will be under a glass canopy, placed atop the skybridge tram station.[1] As of March 2009, construction has yet to begin. In addition, all references to the project on the resort's website have been removed.
