Water Slides at Circus Circus’s Splash Zone, Near the Stratosphere
Taken September 2023
Splash Zone is a water park on the grounds of Circus Circus, the casino resort that opened on the Las Vegas Strip in 1968. Developer Jay Sarno built Circus Circus without hotel rooms at first, centering the property on a big-top-themed casino floor; he later applied similar showmanship to Caesars Palace. The resort was among the first on the Strip to market itself to families rather than gamblers alone, a strategy that shaped Las Vegas development through the 1980s and '90s. Circus Circus has run free circus acts above its casino floor since it opened. The nearby Stratosphere Tower rises 1,149 feet and includes an observation deck near its summit.
