Airplane Passes Over Circus Circus Hotel Tower in Las Vegas
Taken September 2023
Circus Circus opened on the Las Vegas Strip in 1968, developed by Jay Sarno, the same builder behind Caesars Palace. Sarno originally conceived it as a casino-only property built around a circus tent, with hotel rooms added only later as the resort expanded. It was among the first Strip casinos to market directly to families rather than gamblers alone, a strategy that gained wider traction in Las Vegas through the 1980s and '90s. A free indoor circus with live acts has run continuously above the casino floor since the property's opening. The Adventuredome, the indoor theme park adjoining the hotel, opened in 1993. Circus Circus also served as a setting in Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
