This is where we stayed 18 years ago with our sweet dog Mandy!
I suppose I should say WHY "I" wanted to go to Circus Circus first and then I'll tell you about our trip there. Years ago, Loren and I took our children there when they were young. Matthew was only in 6th grade, Danielle 5th, Laura 3 and Jon was in the 2nd grade. We were on our way from Hawaii to Utah where we were moving. We stopped in Reno because thats as far as we could get at 9 pm. we could not stay in the hotel because we had our dog Mandy with us, so we ended up staying in a flee bag hotel behind Circus Circus. Our kids loved the fun games they could play it was a closed off room with booths that lined the perimeter of the room. Our kids had a blast, then we went to the hotel slept and left the next day. Fast forward 18 years and I wanted to say there with our grandkids because we had such a great time before. the minute we got to the hotel, I felt this dark presence and it never left me. The small game room for the kids was more like chuck E Cheese x3 so needless to say there were way too many things and the kids did not understand why we didn't have hundreds of dollars to throw at these games. Also the closed off room was now open with an escalador to the casino, which allowed all the smoke to fill the room. It was GROSS and I hated every minute of it. And there was a reason we only paid $35 for the night at the hotel, because the room was OLD and it was grungy feeling. As we drove out of town we saw a Fairfield Inn by Marriott, and I said you know had we stayed there paid the $150 for the room and just let the kids go swimming we would have had way more fun and there would not have been any tears. Reno was the worst stop on our trip. We won't be doing that again!
