MGM Mirage to build second Project CityCenter near Circus Circus

Circus Circus Hotel in Las Vegas
The North end of the Vegas strip has being going mad recently, with four new multi-billion dollar casino and hotel resorts currently under construction, and another one about to begin now that El Ad has bought the ageing Frontier and has plans to knock it down and build, yup, another multi-billion dollar casino and hotel!

All this construction work has been encircling the aged Circus Circus hotel, which already looks a bit shabby, but will soon look as bad as The Frontier does compared to its shiny new neighbours The Wynns.

Any thoughts that Circus Circus would be next on the implosion list are soon quashed, however, as its owners, MGM Mirage, are already spending $7.7 billion on Project CityCenter further south of the strip (between the Monte Carlo and The Bellagio), and not even the mighty MGM Mirage could afford to splash out on two huge multi-billion dollar projects at the same time…

…could they?…

Circus Circus Hotel in Las Vegas

The Circus Circus Hotel in Las Vegas is a large hotel that’s actually quite rare for Vegas - it’s old! Well, built in the 1960s anyway, which for Vegas is positively prehistoric! Circus Circus may not be the first hotel that springs to mind if you’re planning a trip to Vegas, but it’s rooms are large and clean, there’s a huge 5 acre Adventuredome theme park, and best of all, it’s on the strip and it’s cheap!

To see if it’s for you, check out our review of the Circus Circus Hotel in Las Vegas.

For kids, nothing beats the Circus Circus Adventuredome Theme Park on the Las Vegas strip. Ok, so maybe the rollercoaster at New York New York or the rides at the top of The Stratosphere may come close, but the Circus Circus Adventuredome is a full sized theme park.

Imagine being a kid and stepping out of your hotel room knowing that only a few short steps away lies a a complete theme park with roller-coaster, pirate ship, log flume, and loads of other attractions. Brings a tear to the eye!

More details and pictures of the Circus Circus Adventuredome Theme Park after the jump.
