Circus Circus Hotel and Casino opened on the Las Vegas Strip in 1968, built around a circus theme with a big-top-shaped casino and free trapeze and acrobatic acts once performed above the gaming floor. The neon clown atop the marquee has served as the property's calling card for decades, directing visitors toward its attached attractions. The Adventuredome, a five-acre indoor theme park under a pink glass dome, opened in 1993 and houses the Canyon Blaster, a double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster. The Midway, named on the sign, is the resort's carnival-style arcade on the casino's second floor, offering games and prizes in the tradition of a traveling circus.
